XQ Platform series

The XQ Platform series were a group of quick construction space installations produced by multiple companies including Bengel Shipbuilders, Telgorn Corporation, and Xizor Transport Systems.

The leader or commander of these platforms sometimes bore the office of "Mayor", though it is uncertain whether this would practice would be used in military installations.

Behind the scenes
There is some discrepancy in the size of the XQ Platform series. These platforms were first introduced in Star Wars: TIE Fighter, replacing the combinations of freighters and cargo containers used to represent space stations in the preceding Star Wars: X-wing. In this game, an XQ station had a diameter of around one third of a kilometer, with each docking arm being appropriate in size for a YT-1300 light freighter or similar craft.

Graphically updated with textures for Star Wars: X-wing vs. TIE Fighter, the XQ models remained the same size.

However, with the release of Star Wars: X-wing Alliance, the XQ stations had been rescaled to three times the size, now having a diameter of around a kilometer. Each docking arm was now able to comfortably accomodate several spacecraft as large as a CR90 corvette.
