XQ Platform series
The XQ Platform series were a group of quick construction space installations produced by multiple companies including Bengel Shipbuilders, Telgorn Corporation, and Xizor Transport Systems.
The XQ series was armed with six laser cannons, two at the corners of each docking platform. There were also three twin turbolaser turrets, either mounted on the top of each of the hangars, or on the central hub of the space station if that happened to overshadow the hangars. Newer platforms (XQ3 to XQ6) often mounted an additional three turrets, for a total of six, on the underside of the hub as this is a common blind spot in older designs.
The central hub of the Platform contained communication antennae and the conning tower or bridge.
Occasionally, high-priority platforms, such as the TIE Defender research facility in the Parmel system, had a concussion missile launcher positioned at the tip of its underside. While it was often used to discourage starfighter attacks, its most important role was to intercept incoming warheads before they could harm the station. Attacking fighters often had to use several concussion missiles of their own to overwhelm this anti-warhead defense.
The XQ series hangars could accommodate up to three squadrons of starfighters, plus transports, shuttles, and other auxiliary craft.
Most XQ series platforms served as outposts and supply depots for both sides in the Galactic Civil War, such as DS 5 where defecting Imperial Admiral Harkov took refuge. Outpost D-34 and NL-1 served as Imperial customs stations, tasked with guarding major hyperspace lanes and bringing order to the sector.
Others were research installations, like Admiral Zaarin's TIE Defender facility in the Parmel system, and Pondut and RS-32 which housed magnetic pulse warhead technology used by the Rebellion.

Capsule: XQ1 Platform Were made of a single, large central hub module with three large docking bays protruding from the center. While some were used for military purposes, there were many others that were converted to carry out different missions. The station's armament was variable according to its intended mission. Typically, each XQ1 carried six laser cannons and six turbolaser batteries to defend itself. While this wasn't impressive, it was more than enough to destroy any starfighter, and to hold against targets as big as corvettes. These stations also carried three squadrons of starfighters to assist in defense. Typically they were of the TIE series, but other ships could just as easily be used. The platform has variable uses. The Galactic Empire used it to extend its control across remote star systems. Many corporations used it in commerce and scientific research.
HistoryEdit
The XQ1 design, first released less than five years before the beginning of the Galactic Civil War, was produced in large numbers by Bengel Shipbuilders due to its quick assembly time (a few weeks) and multipurpose capabilities. It was originally designed for use at Ord Thoden until the Corporate Sector Authority purchased large numbers of the stations.
Many were used as simple stations and outposts by various organizations. The Galactic Empire, Rebel Alliance, Corporate Sector Authority, and a number of businesses used the platforms for research and development, command posts, and customs stations. This diversity of usage made it a popular choice for a light space installation. The stations were used by the Galactic Empire as a command post to extend Imperial control in the Outer Rim Territories and remote star systems.

Capsule: Had a larger central structure for greater capacity. It also had another hangar bay on the ventral side and a docking platform on top in addition to the three radial hangar/platform structures included on the XQ1 Platform.
The XQ2 Platform was a basic space station designed to act as a waypoint for travelers visiting highly populated planets. Designed for deployment just at the edge of the atmosphere of planets with heavy space traffic, the XQ2 Platform helped alleviate take off and landing traffic jams by regulating the flow of ships into and out of a star system. Many Core Worlds had dozens of similar space platforms in low orbit, using them as cargo transit facilities and travel waypoints to keep traffic flowing smoothly.
Space platforms such as the XQ2 had relatively small crews and very few permanent residents; most of the people aboard a platform were there only temporarily. Some interstellar passenger lines used XQ2 Platforms as staging areas for their journeys, allowing passengers to take shuttles up to the platform before boarding larger liners that could not enter a planet's atmosphere with ease. An XQ2 Platform was quite modular and could be adapted to suit passengers as well as large amounts of cargo.
HistoryEdit
The XQ2 was released to great demand shortly after the Galactic Civil War started, less than five years after the release of the XQ1. The company went bankrupt due to its success and was bought out by Tenloss Criminal Syndicate.

Very nice. Are these based off the platforms we see in the various Xwing games?

Yes they are.

Yeah, this fills in a nice gap that's been left for those of us who loved those games.
It looks like the real danger of these platforms is the fighters it has on board. They don't look like they can take too heavy of a pounding (more than enough to resist a starfighter attack, but not anything capital), but when it's a veritable hornets nest, you have very good reason not to knock it.

My only concern is how do they get moved? I would at least have a space rating of 1-2, so they can reposition themselves (like say in the threat of an asteroid storm), or if their orbit got too low.

Though station-keeping thrusters can be inferred (for instance from repulsorlift or what have you - even a (long) cable can be used for orbital adjustment), I think a simple space tug should be enough to reposition them in-system.
There's (some) reference to space tugs in the SWEU Legends continuity, and it should be pretty simple to use something with a fair mass and some tractor beams to essentially ferry one of these modular stations around. Any warship, such as a Star Destroyer or Marauder, should be able to do this.
If you want a specialized ship to do it, you basically just want something that's fairly big (a medium transport with 5000 tons or more should work fine - the GR-75 had several variants), fill it with water (to get some momentum going), get a couple of tractor beams on that thing, and off you go. |

True, for normal repositioning, tugs would be ok. But i was thinking more of Emergency repositioning requirements, like WE have on our satellites.

shootingwomprats stats have a tractor beam emplacement on all the models of the station. In an emergency, they could probably latch on to something and just pull themselves away. Heck, there's even a starfighter squadron and auxiliary craft on a few.
Mass is still the kicker, though. You probably want something heavy to latch on to, if you're going to Munchhausen yourself out to a higher position in a gravity well. An (implied) station-keeping mechanism, for instance by repulsor, could lessen the mass needed to do this practically. |

Exactly. The size these stations are, they would be needing imo a cap ship at the min (and i doubt a corellian corvette would do) to pull themselves away, otherwise the tractor beam would just pull IT closer to the station.
