This is an attempt to reverse engineer a spaceport design from an article [Exonidas Spaceport (Dragon, Vol. VI No.9, March 1982, pages 34-48)].
The Book 5 (2nd Ed.) USP is:
SW-Z400GJ4-00000Z-00000-L
Batteries (of repulsors): 2
TL=15, Crew=1400, Fuel tankage=10 000 000
More than anything else, the High Port is an orbiting fuel tank where ships can refuel before Jump, without having to carry that fuel down to the planet and back up. Since Jump fuel usually composes a sizable percentage of a ship's mass, the overall savings are significant.
