Starports are large stations. Big enough to be considered cities floating in space. They act as commercial hubs for each system; trading in both commodities and information. Starports rotate slowly to create artificial gravity for the millions of people who live and work aboard. Gravity differs between each of a Coriolis tower's floors. For many residents real daylight is a rare privilege.[1]

Starport Types

There are currently three different types of Starports: Coriolis, Orbis, Ocellus. To take advantage of the low gravity which is useful in loading and unloading cargo, all docking takes place near the center of each station. The outer areas of the starport are tuned to produce standard Earth gravity and is where living quarters are located.
