It's basically a military organization for Xandar (one of the main planets in GotG). The ships are actually called Star Blasters. Here's a look at a bunch of them out in battle:
Star Blaster
Star Blasters were a class of ships used by the Nova Corps. The Nova Corps used the Star Blasters' tractor beams to subdue Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Gamora after their fight on Xandar.[1] During the Battle of Xandar, Garthan Saal led a fleet of Star Blasters to defend Xandar from Ronan the...

EDIT:
Gotta think that there will be something to cover up the grey support coming soon. It's just way too noticeable and out of theme as currently is (and tbh, the front looks unfinished from the side view):

So it's safe to say they will staff a CM to stand near it because I don't see those fences holding back guests wanting to climb and take a picture with the ship on a stick. Btw the Imagineering video shows the rig as a solid box structure so maybe that's the route they plan on taking to hide it.
Hopefully no one is allowed too close. This (like most recent Disney projects) looks small without the distance required for forced perspective to work. From the monorail it appears way too small for a human pilot.

I really don’t think anything is happening with the support. It looks way too polished for something about to be covered up.

The concept art could have been drawn by the same person who did this:

I refuse to believe that the support will just.... be there. There could have some ridiculous explanation like they are just putting a Starblaster on display at the wonderful World of Xandar pavilion and that's why there's a support, but it looks like crap. Cover that up. It looks like it would only take one more piece and then some trees at the base.
The support is going to be covered and themed. There’s electrical running up the one side of it they will want to hide.
And there’s concept art showing the final thing in a Zach video on IG:

Can also tell by how the underside connects / is unfinished. It will be hidden once connected with the themed shell.

I think it’ll be neat when it has lights, sounds and fog effects on. It’s also really freaking big in person. I’m pleased with it.
It’s to cover all the unsightly bits: welds, exposed bolts, wires, tubes, and a giant access hatch under the ship. It was never meant to not be covered.
