Armament: 0 (Civilian Production). To minimize any threats to the station Saiba has decided against to attaching any sort of weaponry - defensive or offensive - to the station. A station with no weaponry is a smaller target after all. But with that being said it is possible to attach some minor defensive emplacements across its exterior with a maximum threshold that coincides with a (5) in pure defensive armament.
Hangar: 3; the station has room for multiple specialized transport freighters to ferry across the crops grown / livestock kept inside the ship. This space could be used for a token amount of starfighters, but it would be highly ineffective and in the end meaningless.

The Ark is Saiba's attempt at cornering a market whilst also providing a tactical advantages to those factions that purchase these stations. First and foremost it is a space station that focuses on a high modularity of the interior - internal space can be divided in multiple areas or added together to form larger areas, to suit the need of the owners.
Said space is regulated by the environmental control and artificial gravity to simulate different atmospheres and environments: all of this in an attempt to provide growing crops or possible lifestock the optimal environment to thrive on. All sorts of climates can be simulated, from more aquatic ones to arid to anything in between.
This is a perfect option for nations that do not have the luxury of multiple agriculture worlds. You cannot grow crops or breed livestock on industrial worlds, after all.
