[[Starport]]s such as the [[Coriolis]], [[Orbis]] and [[Ocellus]] are a safe haven for pilots amid the vastness of space. They are very big; an entire city floating in space and slowly rotating to create artificial [[gravity]] for the [[trader]]s, [[pilot]]s, tourists and citizens aboard. Millions of people live and work there. Gravity differs between each tower's floors. For many residents real daylight is a rare privilege. The landing hub is pressurized with an atmosphere. The docking hub is a safe zone, because no firing of weapons is permitted. Defensive turrets protect it and uphold the law.<ref>Official The Art of Elite Dangerous art book, August 17 2016</ref> | [[Starport]]s such as the [[Coriolis]], [[Orbis]] and [[Ocellus]] are a safe haven for pilots amid the vastness of space.

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 | Coriolis, Ocellus, and Orbis stations activate emergency protocols in the event of a direct attack that renders them too dangerous to inhabit.

The following week after a station is damaged, and provided the local system is not experiencing an active [[Incursion]], the station will enter a Repairing state, which is also marked on the System Map and Galaxy Map. Emergency protocol is scaled back and the Rescue Vessel departs. The docking bay is also stabilized and cleared of debris, and repair work is visible both there and on the station's exterior, but many services and autodock functionality remain disabled. The Passenger Lounge may continue offering contracts to evacuate refugees if nearby systems have stations available to receive them, otherwise evacuation missions will cease. | The following week after a station is damaged, and provided the local system is not experiencing an active [[Incursion]], the station will enter a Repairing state, which is also marked on the System Map and Galaxy Map.

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 | During this phase, the station requires large quantities of 15 different commodities in order to conduct repairs and fully restore all services.

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/</ref> | There are occasional [[Community Goals|community goals]] to upgrade a station.
