The amount and quality of available services at a station varies. For example, towns and farms are visible in agricultural hubs of Orbis models. There are several variants of each model. The exterior and interior appearance of a station depicts its specialized economic output. However, the simulated gravity is far from ideal 1 g at most cases. Some stations rotate to provide centripetal force to simulate gravity for the people aboard. Defence Turrets are lethal and can destroy any ship in a matter of seconds. Stations are equipped with defence systems to deal with criminals and smugglers.
These are marked as ' Orbital Ports' among the Points of Interest in the System Map in opposition to ' Planetary Ports' while 'Stations' is stated in the Navigation filters. Ships can dock with most stations to gain access to their services. Stations are habitable, artificial structures built in space that orbit a star, planet, or moon.
