Coriolis Station:
The backbone of the United Stars Organization, the Coriolis Station was designed at the GASEC laboratories above Titan and first entered service around Atlas in 540 AS. The USO authorities allow docking and departure runs to all their space stations. However this facility is suspended during attack, or when the Coriolis Station has no free docking space. Every world registered with the United Stars Organization has several Coriolis Stations in orbit at various altitudes. Coriolis Stations are “neutral” territory, controlled equally by the USO and the Planetary Government. This stationary concept was, once discovered, the most giant effort the USO ever had to shoulder. But at least these stations opened the way to stars again. When the first station was orbiting Atlas the name United Stars Organization was born and again settlers left their home worlds to search for new worlds. The concept itself never had to be touched again (You must not change a running system especially when it is a giant one). Station description: The station spins along a single axis running vertically. One side of the station always faces the guarded installation, and it is on this facet that the access tunnel is located. Coriolis Stations have powerful defensive weapons (against pirate attack and inept docking) and a large fleet of fighters and station turrets. The inside of the station is free-space, and on each inner facet of the station there are berthing and refueling facilities for up to 200 ships, hospitals, farmlands and leisure-scapes.
