The Golan VIII space defense platform represented a mobile space station utilized by the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances. This platform belonged to the Golan series of intensely armed platforms.
The Golan VIII was a battle station manufactured by Golan Arms, enhanced with a hyperdrive to simplify its relocation. Due to the class being designed to defend a static location, the main power systems required rerouting for operation.
A specific station of this type was deployed to protect the Black Redoubt, a clandestine logistics center belonging to the Galactic Alliance Remnant.
