There are three distinct types of Concourses | There are three distinct types of Concourses. Each correspond to the port type. For example, the system Ross 263, Doi City and Volta Gateway have Spaceport Concourses. Buffett Hub, Coats Terminal, and Fulton Station have Outpost Concourses. Neumann Survey and Vardeman Observatory have Planetports. Not all facilities in the galaxy are big enough to support a Concourse. | ||
