[edit] Overview
The Terra Class Star Base has several useful Ship Devices as well as a 10,000kt Dry Dock.
A Terra Class Star Base which is stationary over a ground base may quickly lose its usefulness. This is particularly true for homeworlds, since by the time you can build a Terra you've already mined the planet completely, and you've got terraformers to handle climate control.
The real place to use a Terra is either on the front lines or in new territory. A Missouri Class Battleship has a powerful enough tractor beam to tow the Terra at 190 ly/turn (if you've got enough fuel). Then, you can use the Terra to pump out small warships closer to enemy space, or to quickly mine planets from orbit.
A Terra is also usefull in groups of 5 over planets you have reformed with a protomater cannon. It allows you to terraform quickly then when it blows up again to quickly mine before reforming the planet again. Its cargo hold will carry a lot of your food and supplies reducing the number of pods you use when it is and astroid field.
