So, I am wondering, I've never heard a moving station but this is very unique. Realistically, how can a space station maneuver in space? Station means a stationary object. Not a moving object
I am asking a question becuz I am confused

Well in theory it could be a logistics station. Some kind of station that helps other ships in a fleet get somewhere like with wh's.
or it could be a flying city designed after a station(which in this game are flying cities pretty much...) but with the ability to move much faster.

Not all space stations are stationary. An example from another sci fi universe is the deathstar from star wars (it could move slowly on sublight engines) and had a Jump Drive (hyper drive as well).

Wouldn't a station in orbit be moving?

Like a satellite.
Mind you were all moving anyways, so nothing is ever actually stationary.
Like round the galaxy moving..
Like round the sun moving...
Like round the earth moving...

I agree, I think its unique. Not in a bad way, but for many years I've thought that the whole "station" class needed to be replaced with something more akin to a behemoth class dread.. or (insert large ship class vessel here). I think I was about 15 when DS9 came out on TV and yes while that station did move, we here in DS are a lot more active with our "stations".
I know the Dev staff has their hands full, but maybe this is something they have considered or are considering. Hard to say.
