Scattered throughout the X-universe are numerous stations and more will be constructed while other will be destroyed as play progresses. Stations consume wares to manufacture other wares or build and equip ships. Trading Stations are special in that they will both buy and sell a range of wares. Defence Platforms provide a means for a faction to maintain ownership of a sector. Station Trade offers are only available to the player if owned assets have recently been near the station, or if the satellite coverage is maintained, or if a Trade Subscription has been purchased from a Faction;s representative.
