Introduction

Campaign-unique NPC stations fall into 3 groups. Stations with different owners, stations created for events, and stations constructed stations. Many of these were added after Rebirth over time. The constructed stations became a consistent part of campaign games after Rebirth v3.60 was released.

Stations With Different Owners

These are stations which in freeplay games are owned by a different faction than in the campaign or that have their ownership changed during the campaign.

...

Station with changing ownership

This is a station who's ownership changes only during a campaign game.

Stations Created for Events

These are stations which are spawned (instantly appear, no construction) for a campaign related mission.

...

Station created for an event

This station is constructed in the background during the campaign while the player is busy elsewhere.

...

Stations constructed over time

NPC Construction Vessels for these stations are deployed at some stage during the plot. There isn't a mission associated with them and they will work away in the background without player intervention. It's not possible to deploy Trade Agents to these CVs so you'll either need to be nearby them and order wares remotely, or if you have a Trade Computer their offers will remain known for a while . It is impossible for them to be built without the <player> delivering them the required resources due to the poor economy in DVbut can become inaccurate over time. Since the local system is unable to produce most of the wares needed for station manufacture and NPC galaxy traders may have other priorities, these stations may not be constructed promptly without player intervention.
