====== Space Stations ====== In the depths of [[Open Space]], space stations are vital relay and resupply points. They dot the void, serving as guideposts, [[Stardrive|communication relays]], resting points, and meeting places along the interstellar travel lanes. Military stations watch for threats and protect travelers crossing their regions of space. Private spaceports act as way stations for travelers, providing places to rest, restock supplies, and gather news. Corporate stations serve those who these same functions, though they can have military applications or might even be labor camps. Stations become less important as a region becomes more settled, but even in [[Stellar Ring|the Ring]] they help travelers cross space at a modest price. [[Known Space Station Details]]
