If Clarion station is a commerce station or even a docking station then the Zebs statement conflict with WoWL module where the Royal Marines seem to keep the peace.

It's not really that big a conflict: other sources say Star Law is only concerned with interstellar criminals and Sathar agents so local crime that does not fall into those categories will require local law enforcement.

I'm going to assume that since Clarion station is the primary Royal Marines base the Royal Marines have assumed responsibility for it. Maybe it's officially the property of the Crown of Clarion. 

Any other civilian station that is not a similar militia base is policed by station security for local stuff and probably has some Star Law Marshalls 

20 hull points per docking fortress station size

That's about what I broke it down as per the canon stats. I have some house rule stats somewheere, I'll address this after work when I have time to find them...

Make it a solid mass and then the station can follow ship hull pont rules.

Don't you mean the Leslie Nielsen one?

Or the Ernest Borgnine one?

Or the Red Buttons one?

Seriously though, I didn't think the Alec Baldwin/Rutger Hauer/Steve Guttenberg one was as bad as the critics panned it to be. While the original had the Naked Gun piloting the craft, the remake had Robocop at the helm. ;)

I need to see the third one/second remake with Kurt Russel & Richard Dreyfuss though, it's hailed by critics as the "Poseidon in the middle" as far as the three films go.

Possibly, however it would have to rotate rather fast to generate anything resembling "gravity" seeing as it is the most narrow portion of the station. Even so, gravity would only be strongest at the outer edge and you wouldn't be able to dock through the bottom (assuming it truly is a "hub") since it would be rotating at a very high speed. Leaving the top stationary would also limit access between the two sections to the dead-center of the hub area with the "axle" serving as the airlock. Its a tricky design to explain in hard sci-fi terms, probably the result of space opera artwork with no intent for hard sci-fi explanation.

IIRC according to the module that portion of the station was the Ixiol manufacturing section.

Page 56 offers stats for fortresses, fortified stations, and armed stations with 300HP, 140HP, and 80HP respectively along with Damage Control Ratings of 200, 100, & 75 respectively. Beyond the trio of weapon & defense packages this is everything that has been officially specced out for space stations by the book. 

Based on the modules we also have Planoran Station (built into an asteroid, mind you...not a traditional wheel) sporting a mere 60HP but more weaponry than the armed station, yet it shares the same DCR score of 75 with the armed station. Clarion Station is not specced out in the module despite the possibility that the Sathar fleet in the final scenario might be able to make their way to both stations (we already have specs for a fortress so Redoubt is covered). 

SF/KH:1 specs Darkworld Station sporting the same 60HP as Planoran but with less weaponry than the armed station. Page 24 of the module details Darkworld as being a size 3 station rotating with enough velocity to create 0.5g and the cylinder (production facility for Ixiol) is a weightless environment, suggesting it does not rotate...so this is completely opposite from what we have ascertained before. It also states the docking bay has accomodations for eight ships (up to HS:14 in size according to the rule book for a size 3 station). DCR is specced at 80, five points higher than a Armed Station. The only other noteworthy mention is that 3000 occupants are on Darkworld Station.

SF/KH:4 also does not spec L4 station, but being a remote SCC we can presume it to be at least a size:4 station since there is a sathar heavy cruiser & assault carrier docked within. The rest of the descriptions detail the interior as the adventure dictates the players have to infiltrate the station from within.

_______________________

So far we can break down what little we have to go by to determine that (assuming all specs are for size 6 stations) a Fortress has 50HP and 33 1/3 DCR points per station size, a Fortified Station has 23 1/3HP and 16 2/3DCR points per station size, and an Armed Station has 13 1/3HP and 12½DCR points per station size. Weapons & defenses are a crap shoot at best going by what little we have to go by...but one could always run some math on the Fortress/Fortified/Armed Station total weapon & defense cubic meter allocations to get a rough idea and hand-wave Planoran & Darkworld Stations' specs all around. 

Still, we have absolutely NOTHING to go by when speccing a standard space station. Obviously they must have fewer HP and DCR scores than their upgunned counterparts and it would be silly to base it on the same 5 points per size that starships utilize, more so considering that ships are supposed to fit within. Personally, based on that premise alone I think a Fortress is severely underspecced at 300HP considering it can swallow a 120HP battleship in its hub (along with the rest of the fleet that follows that flagship). Based on what little we do have to go by, something in the way of 8-10 hull points per size and a tad more than that for DCR wouldn't be out of line...but we still have so much missing in the hard rules to effectively design any kind of station. Our other option of course is to treat the standard/unarmed stations as armed stations with no weapons/defenses and claim the armed stations use similar rules as star ships --- i.e. where they can accomodate only so much before performance suffers --- personally I feel this is the best (in a bad situation) solution for unarmed stations.

The bottom line here is if you want to design a space station you simply utilize the handwavium method because there aren't even any basic guidelines to go from in the published material.

If an article is done, how big a station can you go? While a fortress is big what about space docks that build hull 20 ships and space fortresses? What about hollowed out asteriod colonies for miners to live in? What about 10,000 being off planet ag stations?

...and my first draft is ready in the Documents section of that project.

What perplexes me is the big airfoil on the back of it...
