	Roughly analogous to the drydock in surface shipyards, a stardock is a compartment on a space station where ships are repaired or constructed. Though not a pressurized, [[shirt sleeve environment]], a stardock is wholly or mostly enclosed to protect equipment and personnel from stellar radiation and external debris. They are usually well-lit, peaceful environments. Machines, construction equipment, and workers in hard-hat suits are found inside. In facilities where ships are being constructed, large-scale equipment is used to move around ship sections and components. Unfinished hulls will usually be fixed with docking arms to keep them from moving.

	A space shipyard functions much the same as a marine yard. It is usually attached to or part of a working port, but has additional heavy machinery, equipment, and facilities to accomodate repair of construction of ships.
