Like the Icarus-class SPS (WPT-36) used by the EU, these are both immensely critical and extremely fragile structures. Their safeguarding being one of the primary drivers for the massive expansions of the US Space Force fleet in the 2040s and onwards.

These colossal structures (10km x 5km) could hardly be built in reasonable timeframes without using automated platforms. The giant grids of aluminium trusses are bent and welded in-situ by hundreds of small drones using material shipped in a constant flux by Lunar Mass Drivers.

Built almost entirely from Lunar-mined materials, these come in two variants a cheaper but limited Reflector unit and more complex complex turreted version, though the latter requires Earth-launched elements making it a lot more expensive.
