The FireStar II-class Orbital Defense Platform was a battle station that was manufactured by Rendili StarDrive that was designed to provide a higher concentration of firepower from a smaller, cheaper, and more easily produced space station than the original FireStar. The battle station had three spires that each extended from the core of the station from above and below the weapon rings, which were a pair of circular platforms with tracks to allow armaments to rotate to the side of the space station when needed. It was possible that the rings were susceptible to damaged weapons clogging the tracks, but the armament could be ejected in emergency situations. The spires housed more weapons and surveillance equipment.

The FireStar II-class had a central deck that was surrounded from above and below by the weapon rings, with four hangars for starfighters and freighters on each side. Each corner of the hanger deck extended past the weapon rings and finished in a cluster of thrusters for maneuvering the station. The central levels of the station within the rings were the crew quarters, administration, surveillance systems, and communications. The FireStar II-class had several reactors that were situated below the core and were surrounded by the lower weapon ring.
