In my campaign framework there are two orbital IST Embassies, a Lunar one and a Martian one, as well as IST Ceres and its orbital counterpart.
I might make the case for many of the more modern (and many of the replacement embassies in the wake of the Y2K Invasion) modular affairs just for ease of deployment and standardized defenses. I added a "lockdown" feature on many of the embassies to prevent IST equipment and records falling into the wrong hands in the increasingly likely event that an embassy is closed, invaded or overrun. The protocol locks down the embassy with the Storm Shutters, evacuates all staff through the embassy's Deployment Gate, then collapses the embassy into structure the size of a large packing crate using integral miniaturization technology, which is then Airlifted out by an IST Rapid Recovery Team.
