	Space stations are spacecraft with such a low acceleration that they can do nothing but hold their position. They act as the first line of defense for a [[planet]] and as a trading and docking station for other spacecraft. They may also act as resource collectors when placed near [[sun]]s, [[Gas_Giant\|gas giant]]s, worlds and [[Planetary_Ring\|ring]]s.

	Probably the biggest advantage a company spacecraft has is that is not subject to ~~fleet~~ [[tax]].
