The Cardan II-class space station was the second model of Cardan-class space station built for the Galactic Empire. These stations were nearly identical to the Cardan I-class but added a vertical section attached to the bottom of the space station which provided more space for weapon emplacements.

HistoryEdit

These stations supplemented the Cardan I-class due to those predecessors' relatively poor defensive systems. Cardan II-class stations were placed in areas of moderate importance but nonetheless could still be overwhelmed by a small force of corvettes and frigates.

ArmamentEdit

The Cardan II was more able to defend itself due to more room and power for additional weapons. It carried three light turbolaser batteries, three point-defense light ion cannon batteries, two proton torpedo launchers, and two tractor beam projectors. It also had more hangar space than its forebear, and could hold twenty-four starfighters. Each station could also hold four shuttles

UsageEdit

The Cardan II supplemented older models, and was sometimes seen accompanied by starships up to 650 meters long.
