This is a modular component of the Geshrinari Shipyards - Spaceports design. Geshrinari Shipyards flight pads, or sometimes called landing pads, are spaces designed to accommodate arriving and departing vessels. They coming in three sizes, and their size depends on the class of ships they are meant to hold.

An access road runs along the perimeter of the pad. This road is used for vehicles transporting cargo and equipment where needed.

Emergency fire equipment is stored alongside the pad.

Starships on a flight pad can receive minor repairs, and have the ship serviced. Minor repairs are usually repairs to internal systems that do not require major components.

The center portion of the pad can be mounted on hydraulics to allow it to be raised and lowered to facilitate aligning the docking arm with the vessel's airlock(s). In the event of an emergency involving toxins in the atmosphere, the center portion of the pad will lower beneath the ground and shutters will close above the pad.

The pad is also equipped with graviton beam projectors as a safety feature to ensure that vessels do not damage the pad. They are also used to help move a damaged ship from the flight pad to a service berth or a construction dock.

Spaceports are also equipped with docking arms which have flexible mating collars which allow them to connect to starships for loading and offloading of crew and personnel. They extend from a concourse that connects to the Passenger area. Along the top of the concourse are large lamps which illuminate the pad for night operations.
