Going by Corporate Shadowfiles, the only really important space station
is Zurich-Orbital. However, the opening line of the chapter says it's not
the only and not the largest space station, so there _are_ more. The way I
see it, most (all?) of them are in corporate hands, and since there's very
little info about them at all in SR books that I've read (i.e. nearly all)
you can just make them up as you go along. It should be easy enough to get
stuff up into space to build a station out of -- at least if you have
suborbital airliners already.

There is (again AFAI can remember right now) no mention at all of moon or
Mars bases.
