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-colonized systems, and are converted into trading posts once the initial phase of colonization is completed.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref>

Due to the symmetrical nature of Coriolis stations it can be difficult to find the [[Docking Bay|docking slot]]. To remedy this the [[HUD#Target Hologram|target hologram]] displayed when targeting the station has arrows pointing towards the station's entrance. It is possible to line up the approach vector with the front of the station while in supercruise using the hologram to gauge position, allowing a pilot to drop from supercruise facing the station's entrance.

Aside from the hologram, an alternative method of locating the entrance is to observe the starport's axis of rotation after arriving. The entrance will always be located at the end of the axis of rotation that spins counter-clockwise when you are facing the starport. In addition, the rear of the station has red lights in the corners, while the front is lit by green lights.
=== Damage ===
As with other types of star port, Coriolis stations were susceptible to heavy damage from attacks by Thargoid forces. Initially these were limited to stations in nebulae surrounding the bubble, however this changed after the the failure of the Proteus Wave lead to a full invasion of human space. If not completely forced offline by an attack, the stations would retain emergency level services and provide missions to aid in evacuations and clear attacking Thargoid crafts. Such damaged or disabled stations would require large quantities of commodities to be repaired, once Thargoid forces were ejected from their local system.
Of note, a damaged Coriolis station - Wakata Station in HIP 23716 - became infamous as the first station/system to repel a Thargoid Invasion during the first weeks of the war<ref>Galnet News Digest - 16 Dec 3308: Beating Back the Thargoids - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpcvKZBMWwY</ref>.
==Colonisation==
{{Main|System Colonisation}}
Coriolis Stations are a Tier 2 station and can be selected as the starting build in the Primary Port location. The cost to build a Coriolis station will be the same no matter if the selection is 0 truss, 2 truss, or 4 truss.
The approximate cost in resources for a Coriolis built as a Primary Port with the 30% increase will be between 69,000 and 75,000 tons total. And a player will have 4 weeks to deliver all needed material or they will forfeit the claim.

To build a Coriolis in an established system the base requirement is 3 Tier 2 construction points. The station will require between 53,000 and 58,000 resources but established systems no longer have the 4 week time limit.

Aside from the hologram, an alternative method of locating the entrance is to observe the starport's axis of rotation after arriving. The entrance will always be located at the end of the axis of rotation that spins counter-clockwise when you are facing the starport. In addition, the rear of the station has red lights in the corners, while the front is lit by green lights.
The games BGS system will adjust the cost of each resource by up to '''±5%''' of the listed cost based off of calculations made when the construction site is placed.
