A space platform enviroment
Space platforms are designed for use in both geostationary orbit and deep space and have a variety of functions, including staging areas, supply depots and habitation. Space platforms come with their own gravity generators,[1][2] though at least some Terran units (such as the Siege Tank) are also equipped with on-board gravity generators, in case of a power failure on the platform itself.[1]
At some point, strange symbols appeared on space platforms located at the edges of known space, bearing similarities to symbols found on Earth that were often theorised to have been created by alien spacecraft. Teams of scientists were dispatched in an attempt to finally learn whether these symbols were due to simple plasma induced phenomenon or intelligently controlled formations with universal teaching.[3]
During the invasions of the Zerg and United Earth Directorate, many platforms were abandoned, thus becoming the property of pirates, smugglers and bandits.[4]
