''' | A '''Station''' (aka '''Orbital Port''') is a habitable, artificial structure built in space that orbits a [[star]], [[planet]], or [[moons|moon]]. [[Ships]] can dock with most stations to access their [[#Services|services]]. These are marked as "'''Orbital Ports'''" among the [[Points of Interest]] in the [[System Map]]. These are the opposite of "[[Surface Port|Planetary Ports]]" while "Stations" is stated in the Navigation filters. | ||
Stations are equipped with defence systems to deal with criminals and [[smuggler]]s. [[Defence Turrets]] are lethal and can destroy any ship in a matter of seconds. | Stations are equipped with defence systems to deal with criminals and [[smuggler]]s.

There are six station interior types for Coriolis, Ocellus, and Orbis stations: Standard/Industrial, Wealthy/Service, Tourism, Refinery/Extraction, High Tech, and Agriculture. A station's interior is determined by its star system's type, economy, and population. The Standard/Industrial interior is the most common, especially in systems with Terraforming, Colony, or Military economies, but systems with more wealth and higher populations have a greater chance of possessing stations with one or more of the specialised interiors. Asteroid Bases are a fourth station type that always have the same interior. | There are six station interior types for Coriolis, Ocellus, and Orbis stations: Standard/Industrial, Wealthy/Service, Tourism, Refinery/Extraction, High Tech, and Agriculture.
