Notes : The Orbital Office is a cheap, flexible space station design intended to provide space for administrative and other support amenities for orbital drydocks.2 The station core consists of a small hangar bay which can handle Work Bees or small shuttles, an arboretum/recreation area, and several large bulk storage tanks. Various booms can be attached below the arboretum; modules of various sizes can be attached to these to provide living and working space.
A typical module might provide transportation links via a transporter and one or more docking points for small shuttles such as travel pods. Others provide power systems, office space, recreation areas, or other facilities.

That model was originally made for Star Trek: The Motion Picture but didn't make it into the final cut of the movie.

It was then altered and turned upside down do act as the Regula I Research Facility in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

The model was also reused as a space station at least one time in Star Trek TNG. It was in the episode where they had to decide if Data was alive or not.

yep that sounds like star trek the producers often get the same actors/actresses to play different characters, which is painfully obvious for all to see, even with makeup.

yep like NOG actor has been doing all sorts of small jobs in TNG and Voyager as a kazon.

looks coll the station but just a flipped version of a normal station.
