The '''Coriolis''' [[starport]] is a time-tested [[station]] design pioneered by the [[Galactic Cooperative]] and regarded as its most prolific and enduring legacy. Renowned for its efficient, modular layout, a single Coriolis can be assembled and made operational within a matter of weeks. These stations are usually the first to be built in newly-colonized systems, and are converted into trading posts once the initial phase of colonization is completed.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref> | The '''Coriolis''' [[starport]] is a time-tested [[station]] design pioneered by the [[Galactic Cooperative]] and regarded as its most prolific and enduring legacy.

Due to the symmetrical nature of Coriolis stations it can be difficult to find the [[Docking Bay|docking slot]]. To remedy this the [[HUD#Target Hologram|target hologram]] displayed when targeting the station has arrows pointing towards the station's entrance. It is possible to line up the approach vector with the front of the station while in supercruise using the hologram to gauge position, allowing a pilot to drop from supercruise facing the station's entrance. | Due to the symmetrical nature of Coriolis stations it can be difficult to find the [[Docking Bay|docking slot]].

Aside from the hologram, an alternative method of locating the entrance is to observe the starport's axis of rotation after arriving. The entrance will always be located at the end of the axis of rotation that spins counter-clockwise when you are facing the starport. In addition, the rear of the station has red lights in the corners, while the front is lit by green lights. | Aside from the hologram, an alternative method of locating the entrance is to observe the starport's axis of rotation after arriving.
