The Naval Base counter from the Leviathan boardgame box.
Naval Bases are often placed in the asteroid belt of a planetary system.

Naval Bases maintain and support naval military operations. These facilities usually orbit a planet or moon, but most habitable planets also have one or two ground naval bases.
Ground Bases increase their shield rating by 1 (to a maximum of 5). The right and left turret factors are added together to form a single fire factor. All forward and aft weapons are removed. Only the right and left broadside weapons and missiles may fire, though both broadsides may be used, per the rules on p. 32 of Leviathan.
ON1/GN1: Fort Oasis Class Post[]
Fort Oasis Class Posts are used primarily by the Royal Navy, but TOG does have their counterpart. Both versions are small, unpropelled facilities usually established in orbit to provide a logistical base for a single squadron of fighters. They are equipped with Variable Shield Generators and 200 points of armor for all seven hexes (Interceptor play) and two to six fighters.

ON2/GN2: Small Ship Post[]
A Small Ship Post can provide support for up to six Patrol Class (or smaller) ships. It usually has a squadron of Interceptors assigned to it for defensive support and contains a platoon of Marines as security personnel. Most Small Ship Posts are actually seven Fort Oasis Class Posts bolted together. Because of its modular nature, a Small Ship Post can easily support a full flight of four squadrons and three Patrol Class carriers.

ON3/GN3: Medium Fighter Base[]
A Medium Fighter Base has strong defenses and at least a century of Marines for security. It can provide berths for a group of Interceptors plus eight Patrol Class (or smaller) ships. Its logistical capabilities allow it to support the long-term operations of two naval squadrons, including limited repair facilities for ships of Cruiser Class or smaller.

ON4/GN4: Medium Ship Base[]
A Medium Ship Base can provide logistical support for up to six naval squadrons, overhaul ships as large as Frigate Class, and provide limited repairs for larger ships.It can service and repair up to five Frigates at any one time. Though Battleships and Cruisers may moor at Medium Ship Bases, extensive repair of such vessels is generally not possible or feasible.
Ground-based versions of Medium Ship Bases usually consist of large dry docks, bunkers, landing and cargo facilities, and housing for personnel.

ON5/GN5: Fighter Wing Command[]
Similar in size to a Medium Ship Base, a Fighter Wing Command is designed to support fighter rather than capital ship operations. An ON5/GN5 can completely support and house a full fighter wing and has strong defensive capabilities. It can also provide logistical support and limited repair facilities for up to two squadrons of warships.
A MOBASTAT (Mobile Battle Station) is a TOG variation of a Fighter Wing Command. Towed by a Legion Class transport, a MOBASTAT can be quickly deployed in a star system to provide permanent fighter support for invasion forces, or to rapidly establish large garrison fighter forces in remote areas.

ON6: Large Ship Base[]
A Large Ship Base can overhaul Battleship Class vessels and can support the operations of multiple Battleship groups. It can also fully support up to a group of fighters for self defense. Large Ship Bases are found as orbital facilities only in Shannedam County. Deep within TOG, several such large ground facilities exist on airless moons, but the Commonwealth has only a handful, all of them far from the front lines.
