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 /r/EliteDangerous: So the Thargoids(?)

Stations that have activated the emergency protocol have Maintenance, Contacts, Universal Cartographics, and the Crew Lounge disabled. The Missions panel is accessible, but no missions are on offer. The Passenger Lounge offers several contracts to transport refugees to safety. The Commodities Market is damaged, and only accepts certain emergency supplies. If the player was docked at a station that was attacked, they and their ship will be transferred free of charge to a [[Pilots Federation]] [[Megaship|Rescue Ship]] stationed nearby.<ref name="Station Attack"/>

The Passenger Lounge offers several contracts to transport refugees to safety. The Commodities Market is damaged, and only accepts certain emergency supplies. [[Standard Docking Computer]] functionality is also disabled, forcing pilots to use manual controls if they wish to dock.

Affected stations also exhibit severe external damage, and approaching certain areas will disrupt ship HUDs due to electromagnetic interference. The docking bay is lit by red emergency lights and littered with floating debris, but a hazardous internal heat level can easily overwhelm any ships. Ships are not affected by the heat while they are docked.<ref name="Station Attack"/>

Ships do not take damage from the heat while they are docked.<ref name="Station Attack"/>
