'''Stations''' are habitable, artificial structures built in space that orbit a [[star]], [[planet]], or [[moons|moon]]. [[Ships]] can dock with most stations to gain access to their [[#Services|services]]. These are marked as "'''Orbital Ports'''" among the Points of Interest in the System Map in opposition to "[[Surface Port|Planetary Ports]]" while "Stations" is stated in the Navigation filters.
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.

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.

Coriolis, Ocellus, and Orbis stations activate emergency protocols in the event of a direct attack that renders them too dangerous to inhabit. Attacks on this scale were apparently rare until December 14, 3303, when a number of stations in the [[Pleiades Nebula]] were devastated by [[Thargoids]].<ref name="Station Attack">[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/7jqg5p/so_the_thargoids_attacked_a_station_images/?st=jb6b35m0&sh=f42ecad9 reddit: So the Thargoids(?)

During this phase, the station requires large quantities of 15 different commodities in order to conduct repairs and fully restore all services. These commodities are listed within [[GalNet]] Starport Status Update reports, and can be delivered simply by selling them on the Commodities Market.<ref>[https://i.imgur.com/hxTJhqt.png imgur: screenshot GalNet: Galactic News: Starport Status Update, December 21, 3303]</ref> Stations remain in the Repairing state indefinitely until all requested supplies are delivered.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/starports-under-repair-change-to-visibility-of-progress.398863/#post-6278531 Frontier Forums: Starports "Under Repair": change to visibility of progress, post #9]</ref>

== Upgrading Stations ==
== Upgrade stations ==
There are occasional [[Community Goals|community goals]] to upgrade a station. Upon winning the CG a station is granted some special upgrades. For example Greeboski's Outpost in the star system: Phiagre received more and better [[modules]] than previously available and the interior and exterior design changed. It is an Industrial economy station, but has the interior of a service economy. Exterior wise it received a big habitation ring.<ref>[https://inara.cz/gallery/0/52225/ INARA: Gallery] </ref>

* [[Jameson Memorial]] - Orbiting [[Founders World]] in [[Shinrarta Dezhra]], Jameson Memorial has all ships and modules available for purchase at a 10% [[Discounts|discount]]. Pilots must reach the [[Ranks|rank]] of Elite or be a Kickstarter backer in order to obtain a [[permit]] to access the system.

* [[Hutton Orbital]] - An outpost in [[Alpha Centauri]], orbiting the planet [[Eden]]. Prior to [[System Colonisation|system colonisation]] it was the most distant station from its system's main star in the galaxy, and can take well over an hour to reach in [[supercruise]].
!Station name
* [[Leonard Nimoy Station]] - Originally named WCM Transfer Orbital, this station was renamed in March 3301 to honour the late actor [[wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]]. It is located in LHS 3006, orbiting the planet Vulcan.
!Location
* [[Pratchett's Disc]] - A station in HIP 74290 that commemorates the late author [[wikipedia:Terry Pratchett|Terry Pratchett]]. It was built in March 3301.
!Description
* [[Obsidian Orbital]] - Built in late 3301 in the [[Maia]] system, Obsidian Orbital was the first station constructed in the [[Pleiades Nebula]], and the reward for a [[Community Goals|Community Goal]].
!
* [[Jaques Station]] - Owned by the cyborg bartender [[Jaques]], Jaques Station attempted to jump to [[Beagle Point]] in 3302, but [[Thargoid Sensor]]-induced malfunctions knocked it off-course and it arrived in the [[Colonia]] system instead. Pilots across the [[Core Systems]] rallied to the station's aid, leading to the colonization of the [[Colonia Region]].

* [[Explorer's Anchorage]] - Built in early 3305 by the [[Distant Worlds II]] expedition, Explorer's Anchorage is the first station constructed in the [[Galactic Centre]]. Located in the [[Stuemeae FG-Y d7561]] system, it is the closest station to [[Sagittarius A*]] and the furthest station from [[Sol]].
