Battle station

"Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station."

- Emperor Palpatine, to Luke Skywalker

A battle station was any space station armed for combat. During the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic secretly began the construction of the Death Star, a battle station unlike anything the galaxy had ever seen. Torpedo Spheres were battle stations that served as siege platforms, and were referred to as battlemoons. Although it was a building, the Malachor Sith Temple, or more precisely its superweapon, was also referred to as a battle station.
