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 gain access to 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.
