Modern Coriolis stations are [[Wikipedia:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedrons]] with a 2-kilometer diameter. When it was first introduced by GalCop, the design had a much smaller diameter of 1 kilometer, but beginning in the 3200's the size was increased. By the 3300's, although new Coriolis stations continue to be built both within the [[Core Systems]] and out in the frontiers of the [[Colonia Region]] and [[Pleiades Nebula]], maintaining them has become more costly as parts have become more difficult to procure or manufacture.<ref name="EE" /> | Modern Coriolis stations are [[Wikipedia:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedrons]] with a 2-kilometer diameter.

The exterior of the Coriolis consists of inverted skyscrapers, where penthouses provide spectacular views of space in addition to comfortable levels of gravity. In rare cases, a Coriolis will also feature two "arms" extending from opposite facets of the main structure, as seen with Smith Reserve in LDS 883. A second variant with four "arms" was introduced with Cavalieri in Electra. | The exterior of the Coriolis consists of inverted skyscrapers, where penthouses provide spectacular views of space in addition to comfortable levels of gravity.

A second variant with four "arms" was introduced with Cavalieri in Electra. These arms are commonly referred to as "Noob Hammers" due to the fact that inexperienced players mistake them for landing pads and fly into them. | ||
