Industry & Trade
The primary function of Cronus station was the manufacturing of light and medium spaceships of different models. Thought it started as a shipyard for the Dominum exclusively, production was changed over time to allow for third party customers in order to make the station profitable.
The engineers, technicians and workers of the station was able to take a customers design and see it through production, often offering advice along the way for design upgrades.
Because the station has usually been placed in remote or dangerous places of the galaxy it has also become a place of trade, providing a safe haven for freighters due to its heavy defenses. People can come here rather freely these days, and a multitude of services are offered from the ship construction, maintenance and repair to medical facilities, cinema, cantinas, libraries and gyms.

History
Though originally a stright military installation it is now closer to a city than an orbital fortress.
Security is still strict and every visitor is carefully screaned and monitored whilst on that station to prevent any incidents.
The stations engineers are the best of the best and are responsible for several ship designs such as the Dominum Razorwing,
Dominum Lashtail, Dominum Goliath and the Stealth Shuttle design used for ships like The Ares and The Minotaur.
No capital ships were ever constructed here, although the station has frequently provided repairs and maintenance for larger ships of the Dreadnaught class having both the capacity and expertise for it. Larger ships can only dock extrenally, but the station is equipped with enough drones and one man construction ships to service even the largest of ships.
