Research Outpost

Research starbases are devoted to monitoring or studying scientific phenomenon (such as nebular contractions, the formation and death of a star, or planetological surverys), conducting scientific research and so forth. In many instances scientific starbases serve as the platforms for experiments or projects which are too dangerous to perform on a planet or near inhabited areas.
