The exact origins of the current form for the Merchant Space Dock are unknown, with no concrete evidence as to who designed or even built the first of its kind. Nevertheless, with its hexagonal shape, metal support beams, multiple docking bays, and living quarters, it can accommodate multiple ships and pilots at once. It has a large storage capacity and a class twelve sensor array. Some consider the design to be primitive compared to other space stations in the galaxy, but it still sees use in various systems by those seeking simplicity.
