When the probe is already on its way and we can neglect the station's gravitational attraction, it won't need any more propulsion and will continue to move as it started.

This is due to Newton's first law: any object will stay at rest or continue its movement at constant velocity when no unbalanced forces are acting on it.

Deep space, as you describe, virtually satisfies this conditions, as any gravitational influencing bodies are so far away, their gravitational pull is negligible. Also, in a very deep space, away from stars, dust and gases clouds, there wouldn't even be much frictional force.

What are the sister planets in Star Wars?

In the Star Wars mythos, there are two planets in the Corellian System named Talus and Tralus. They both orbit around the same barycenter, therefore they are "sister planets." There is a space station at the barycenter called Centerpoint Station, which played a major role in the Corellian Trilogy of books.

What is one use of a space station?

One use of a space station is that space station's builds rockets and launch then to go to the moon. Another use is that they build mars rover's which can anylaze planets and maybe universes that we can't visit because we can't handle the temperture of certain planets or too far away that we won't make because DEATH.
