Due to the nature of the first military conflict that involved the Holy Syllogism of Aurelia, Xur Command does not differentiate between planetary and stellar units. The command structure is simply too small to warrant a separate chain of command. The military traditions of Xur Corps are based from Sa'Ka Legion or Barq Fleet. Since the appointment of Marshall Sandeep Yamada, OF-8 as head of Xur Nightwatch, Pataliputran military tradition has slowly begun seeping into the Sa'ka foundation.
General Jace Diego (OF-9) commands out of Xur Command, located at Yamada's Kalari (see Dept of War, msg #31
link to a message in this game), although all repair and refit facilities are currently on loan from Sietcee Spaceport. It's single drone-carrier is presently assigned to Sabaki SDU.
All units equipped with Kelp Voidsuits, ABC kits, Trauma Kits with Comoryll serum.

Xur Void Command dress voidsuits are nearly identical to their formal undress uniforms: dark green with highlights of red wine accents and rich, soil-brown piping, and include a matching trench coat with asymmetric pauldrons. From afar, the only difference between the Planetary and Void Command uniforms would seem to be their boots.
Insignia patches are elongated pentagons, with rank in the top quarter, and branch identifiers below. Some commendations are included on the patch, while others are only visible on the formal uniform.
Facilities
Sietcee Spaceport (user), was the development site for Zenos's work until 49 NS
Better Horizons, originally an abandoned spaceport site, many assume it's immense perimeter hides facilities beyond Xur Command, possibly a fledgling spaceport of some kind.
Yamada's Kalari (see Dept of War, msg #31

Zenos Space Industries is a leading manufacturer of gravionic parts. Founded by deeply religious alumni of Cobra University, their CEO is Rp Mbala, a Ryllian with eidetic abilities. They are the manufacturer of the sole voidcraft and fightercraft classes used by the Xur, as well as the designers of the medium satellite body used by the Federation and GSEN.
