The '''Ocellus''' [[starport]] is a recent [[station]] design introduced in 3260 by [[Empire|Imperial]] ship manufacturer [[Gutamaya]], and now present throughout human space. The forefront of exploration technology, the Ocellus is designed to be both mobile and self-sufficient. It can be fitted with engines and a hyperdrive to be easily moved where needed, and various corporations and institutions have been known to deploy them to observe rare stellar spectacles for a few months at a time. The station's spherical shape efficiently contains air pressure, provides radiation shielding, and stabilizes the entire structure during transit by reducing torsional stress. The equatorial trench on the Ocellus's exterior features manufacturing and refinery facilities, while the surfaces nearest to the docking port hold commercial and administrative offices.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref><ref name="N38">[https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a6f83ce7d1 Elite Dangerous Newsletter #38 (August 31, 2014)]</ref>

The main reason for their extra strength is the Ocellus stations can be moved intact from place to place as opposed to being assembled on site. Giant drives can be attached to move them from system to system when required, albeit much more slowly than even the largest cargo ships. Only a few of them have been so equipped, and it is said that the arrival of an Ocellus at a gold-rush world marks the end of the early stage of the gold rush, as it marks the arrival of the eye of officialdom and the beginning of the end of the anarchic freedom of those early days.<ref name="N38" />

== Colonisation ==
{{Main|System Colonisation}}The Ocellus belongs to category 3 in system colonization. If you choose it as the main (first) station, it can be built with the following resources delivered to the colonization ship within 4 weeks. For the construction of a spaceport of the type '''Ocellus''' a certain amount of materials are required.
