E.S. McKinley Station
______________________________________________________________________________________________

The McKinley class stations are an example of a modern drydock-style facility. They comprise a central hub attached to five long articulated 'arms'. A Starship is placed beneath the hub, allowing the arms to wrap around it. Where the older drydock designs have no habitation area of their own, the hub of the McKinley class has considerable space for a permanent work staff. This allows it to operate independently of outside support for as long as the construction materials last, a great advantage over most drydocks.McKinley itself is located in Earth orbit, and is used for larger starships such as the Galaxy and Nebula classes.
