The Golan M3185 space station represented a specific type of space station utilized by the Galactic Empire for the purpose of planetary protection, characterized by its wheel-like structure. A prime example of this station type was the Scarif Shield Gate, which furnished defensive capabilities to Scarif, a planet of significant strategic importance to the Empire. The deflector shield it projected encompassed the entire planet, exhibiting a strength and stability level of fifty, along with a unique, layered frequency configuration. The designation "Golan M3185" was partially shared with other space station designs employed by the Empire, such as the Golan I Space Defense Platform, the Golan-II Defense Platform, and the Golan III defense platform.
