So thematically.... I guess they build it on the planet and launch it? OK, I guess I got my answer. Missed that FAQ..

<p>Most races in Twilight Imperium need to wait a whole round in order to build a Space Dock from the moment they take control of a system, that is because of the following requirement in the rules (emphasis mine):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The active player must have controlled <strong>the planet</strong> for the entire
  current round. Thus, it is not possible to build a Space Dock on a
  planet that has just been acquired during the current round.</p>

<p>However, the Saar do not build their Space Docks on planets, as specified on their racial sheet. So, can they build a Space Dock wherever they want immediately as they control a system, or do they need to wait a round like all other races?</p>

Do the Saar need to wait a whole round to build a Space Dock?

Most races in Twilight Imperium need to wait a whole round in order to build a Space Dock from the moment they take control of a system, that is because of the following requirement in the rules (emphasis mine):

However, the Saar do not build their Space Docks on planets, as specified on their racial sheet. So, can they build a Space Dock wherever they want immediately as they control a system, or do they need to wait a round like all other races?
