The ''' | The '''Ocellus''' [[station]] is based on a modified [[Wikipedia:Bernal Sphere|Bernal Sphere]]. The sphere was chosen due to the shape's ability to efficiently contain air pressure and provide efficient radiation shielding. | ||

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. | The Ocellus Starport is stronger, better protected from radiation and more expensive than the Coriolis class stations but smaller than the giant [[Orbis]].
