All currently-observed relay stations share the same basic design and layout with only minor differences. Relay stations are built around rocky pillars, consisting of one large spinning center section which appears to be a some sort of dish receiver, a tall structure with many floors and an antenna-like structure on top, although the top can not be reached. Around the main structures, there are many other smaller structures and walkways that lead off from the middle, most of which lead back to the center. Relay stations are often built into rock pillars sticking out of the ocean,{{Ref/Map|H2|Ascension}}{{Ref/Map|HR|Pinnacle}} though the use of [[anti-gravity technology|gravitic control systems]] allows them to be placed on floating platforms high above the surface of an installation.{{Ref/Reuse|zenithdesc}} These elevated relays utilise [[slipspace translocation]] for safe and swift travel between the installation surface and the facility itself.{{Ref/Map|Id=skywarddesc|H2A|Skyward|Detail=Description|Quote=Elevated relays utilize their own unified translocation system to allow safe and swift travel back to Installation 05's terrestrial surface.}} At least one relay station was capable of, when activated, enabling a blue energy field around the central dish and [[Beam emitter|emitting a beam]] towards the sky.{{Ref/Map|H2A|Zenith}}
