Space platform

Designed for use in both geostationary orbit and deep space, space platforms have a variety of functions, including staging areas, supply depots and habitation. Space platforms come with their own gravity generators, though at least some Terran units (such as the Siege Tank) are also equipped with on-board gravity generators, in case of a power failure on the platform itself.

During the invasions of the Zerg and United Earth Directorate, many platforms were abandoned, thus becoming the property of pirates, smugglers and bandits.1. Named platforms include:


 * Platform G11-F3: A rather poorly designed platform, considering that it was divided into two halves without any proper bridges. Insufficent vespene gas was provided also. It was commanded by Colonel Riley Bullhorn.2
 * Platform K4-J19: Had a giant 'bullseye' in its centre. Once again commanded by Colonel Bullhorn, much against his will. 3

-Gemini Series: Developed by the Dominion Engineering Corps (DEC), Gemini Series platforms use symmetrical architecture and "are suitable for any orbital application." Able to be constructed "for half the cost in half the time," they're freely available for use to organizations and independently financed groups.
