The '''Ocellus''' [[starport]] is a | The '''Ocellus''' [[starport]] is a [[station]] design that was introduced by [[Gutamaya]] in 3260. The Ocellus is both mobile and self-sufficient. It can be fitted with engines and a hyperdrive to easily move it where needed. Various corporations and institutions have deployed it to observe rare stellar spectacles. 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://web.archive.org/web/20150131205955/http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=a6f83ce7d1 Elite Dangerous Newsletter #38 (August 31, 2014)]</ref> | ||

The Ocellus Starport is stronger, better protected from radiation and more expensive than the Coriolis class stations but smaller than the giant [[Orbis]]. Inside the sphere, in the void between the inner docking-cylinder hangers and the outer hull, is a huge amount of usable space for human habitation. At the equator of the sphere, there is a comfortable 0.7g, which falls off as you approach the poles. On the outside, towering inverted “skyscrapers” emerge from the galleried central trench, allowing an impressive view of the universe for the rich residents who can afford such accommodation.<ref name="N38" /> | The Ocellus Starport is stronger, better protected from radiation and more expensive than the [[Coriolis]] class stations but smaller than the giant [[Orbis]].

At the terraced front and rear of the sphere lie the more industrial parts of the station. Life support machinery, liquid and gas storage, workshops and small factories designed for producing goods in low gravity are positioned here, as well as capital-class weaponry for defence purposes. The very front of the station is home to the famous docking portal, viewing and control galleries, plus commercial and official premises and offices.<ref name="N38" /> | At the terraced front and rear of the sphere lie the more industrial parts of the station.

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" /> | 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.

{{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. | |||
