Hanger

A hanger or hanger bay is a structure equipped to store and maintain starships.

Seen throughout the Galaxy on just about every planet that has developed starfaring technology, as well as many classes of larger starships, warships, and space stations, the hanger is an essential part of space travel. Ships of all sizes and types depend on hanger facilities for storage, repair, refitting, refueling, and resupplying, as well as providing a place to land and offload or onload passengers and cargo. Hangers can range from simple, open-air clearings to massive space-based structures capable of sustaining entire fleets for years at a time.
