The '''Ocellus''' [[starport]] is a recent [[station]] design introduced in 3260 by [[Empire|Imperial]] ship manufacturer [[Gutamaya]], and now present throughout human space. The forefront of exploration technology, the Ocellus is designed to be both mobile and self-sufficient. It can be fitted with engines and a hyperdrive to be easily moved where needed, and various corporations and institutions have been known to deploy them to observe rare stellar spectacles for a few months at a time. The station's spherical shape efficiently contains air pressure, provides radiation shielding, and stabilizes the entire structure during transit by reducing torsional stress. The equatorial trench on the Ocellus's exterior features manufacturing and refinery facilities, while the surfaces nearest to the docking port hold commercial and administrative offices.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref><ref name="N38">[https://us2.campaign- | The '''Ocellus''' [[starport]] is a recent [[station]] design introduced in 3260 by [[Empire|Imperial]] ship manufacturer [[Gutamaya]], and now present throughout human space.
