* The Orbiting Research Lab is a space station and cannot move. The speed modifier for being Stopped has been added to its Defense and Attack Bonus.
The Orbiting Research Lab includes a small
hangar capable of holding one Small-sized transport (usually a drop shuttle
for travelling to the planet being studied). The Orbiting Research
Lab grants a +2 equipment bonus to all Computer Use rolls to operate the
sensors. This model of research lab (or similar precursors) has been
in use for several centuries.
