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.
