Industrial Starports represented a specific category of starport found on the planet known as Lazerian IV. Every Industrial Starport included a Standard Class starport, extensive storage areas for unprocessed materials, a number of sizable factories, storage buildings, living quarters for employees, management offices, and a small garrison consisting of twenty-four troopers belonging to either the Galactic Empire's Imperial Army or the Kingdom of Devit's Lazerian army.
These starports restricted access to freetraders along with passenger ships; only corporate transport vessels, ore carriers, and large cargo ships had authorization for landings and departures. A monorail system provided connections between the various starports and the cities present on Lazerian IV. A significant number of these starports were situated within the expansive Lazeria City Starport located in Lazeria City.
The concept of Industrial Starports originated with John Terra and initially appeared within Twin Stars of Kira, a 1993 supplemental resource for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, published by West End Games.
