The Firestar Orbital Defense Station
can carry up to 240 starfighters. Private versions often convert
some of the starfighter hangars into landing bays for light freighters
and other transports (each Small-sized starship replaces four starfighters).
This design was first available about a hundred years before the Clone
Wars, but it never really caught on in the Old Republic or the Empire.
By the Rebellion Era, most such stations are now in private hands.
