Landing pad
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
A landing pad is an area on a space station where small starships can dock.
Cardassian space stations like Terok Nor and Empok Nor have six landing pads. On Deep Space 9, Starfleet houses the station's complement of Danube-class runabouts there. Other ships that can also use the landing pads include Romulan and Ferengi shuttles. (DS9: "The Magnificent Ferengi", "In the Pale Moonlight", "Profit and Lace")
After the Cardassians abandoned Empok Nor, they sealed the landing pads of the space station. (DS9: "Empok Nor")
