A drydock is a large orbital facility for the construction or repair of starships. They are often found at shipyards or attached to starbases.
In the mirror universe year 2155, the Tholians took the USS Defiant to a drydock built into an asteroid-moon in orbit around a gas giant and began a salvage operation, but were unable to finish because the ship was stolen by Commander Jonathan Archer of the ISS Enterprise.
