			Building a starport for [[System Colonisation\|system colonisation]] requires many commodities. Coriolis are mid-tier starports. They have small to large landing pads. Shipyard and Outfitting services (tech level 35). Building these consumes Tier 2 System Points earned from Tier 1 construction. Orbis are Tier 3, massive, high-capacity mega-stations. They offer the widest array of services and are the most expensive to construct.

	There are ~~currently three~~ different types of Starports: Coriolis, ~~Orbis~~, Ocellus. The first two are built by monopolous [[Brewer Corporation]] (or its partners) and are more frequent.

'''Starports''' are large [[Station|stations]]. Big enough to be considered cities floating in space. They act as commercial hubs for each system; trading in both [[commodities]] and information. Several Starports have [[Capital Ship Dock|Capital Ship Docks]].

Starports rotate slowly to create artificial [[gravity]] for the millions of people who live and work aboard. Gravity differs between each of a Coriolis tower's floors.

[[File:Coriolis Station 001.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Coriolis]]
The '''Coriolis''' Starport is a time-tested [[station]] design pioneered by the [[Galactic Cooperative]] and regarded as its most prolific and enduring legacy. Renowned for its efficient, modular layout, a single Coriolis can be assembled and made operational within a matter of weeks. These stations are usually the first to be built in newly-colonised systems, and are converted into trading posts once the initial phase of colonisation is completed.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref>

== Notes ==
*Starports controlled by [[Federation]]-aligned minor factions display a four-digit identification number with the prefix "FSP" for "Federal Star Port" (e.g. "FSP#6160") on the exterior around the [[Access Corridor]]. This number is generated based on the coordinates and name of the station's star system, and is displayed more prominently than the station's own name due to the Federation's highly bureaucratic nature.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/stations-labelled-with-fsp.140306/#post-2149575 Frontier Forums: Stations labelled with FSP#]</ref> [[Empire]]-aligned, [[Alliance]]-aligned and [[independent]] stations do not use this system, although Imperial stations do display the phrase "Hail the [[Emperor]] - Bask in [[Arissa Lavigny-Duval|Her]] Glory" beneath the station's name, all written in a golden decorative font (up until mid-3301 this read "Hail the Emperor - Bask in ''[[Hengist Duval|His]] Greatness''", though the dedication was updated following the change of leadership). Some stations that are owned by an Anarchy faction may read the phrases "Rise Up Now - Never Surrender" similarly to how the Empire's phrase is displayed.
