 One example is that the term monitor is used to specify a kind of space warship.The general disposition of ship types is an approximation of navies in the era between the two world wars, before carriers became a major part of naval forces.On the planetary surface, there are space docks for launching ships, mines to produce monetary units, factories to manufacture ships, and industrial plants and biodomes to support population, as well as a range of ground forces, again roughly equivalent to military forces in mid to late 1930s to perhaps early WW2.
