Greetings Citizens,

"In the generations since Roberts Space Industries institutionalized personal space travel, countless supporting industries have sprung up to improve the lives of interstellar pilots. From shield manufacturers to deep space repair services to refueling stations orbiting distant stars, the infrastructure which has grown up to support civilian space travel has become ubiquitous. This development has no better case study than the rise of modular, user-configurable ship hangars.

The system of self-maintained hangars arose out of the very simple logic that if you have a spacecraft you also need a place to put it. With the massive increase in individually owned civilian spacecraft and the resulting decline in government-regulated space travel lines, the model for ship housing quickly transitioned. Many once-thriving spaceports were parceled out for individual sale, with the hangars that once maintained thousand-person transports divided into dozens of makeshift spacecraft compartments and made available to the highest bidders.

The formalized hangar industry soon followed, with investors purchasing massive tracts of land wherever possible to erect garaging space. On some rapidly developing worlds, territory claims around landing points have become so expensive or contested that urban construction often takes place outside a hundred-kilometer ring of ‘future hangars.’ On some worlds, hangars are constructed deep into the ground or straight up in massive skyscrapers: anything to provide ship owners the piece of mind that comes with a permanent home for their craft. In recent years, three hangar designers/manufacturers have come to define the industry as a whole, with their base appearances being a familiar sight across the galaxy."
