'''Player-owned starbases''' (often shortened to "starbase" or "POS") are a collection of structures that player corporations may anchor in the orbit of moons. Starbases are not to be confused with ~~the large (NPC or player-built~~ stations~~) that orbit planets~~, which allow ships to dock. A player cannot dock with a starbase, they can only interact with the starbase modules.

'''Player-owned starbases''' (often shortened to "starbase" or "POS") are a collection of structures that player corporations may anchor in the orbit of moons. Starbases are not to be confused with stations, [[Citadels]], or other large deployable structures which allow ships to dock. A player cannot dock with a starbase; they can only interact with the starbase modules.

More confusion stems from the use of the acronym "POS", which is sometimes elucidated as "Player Owned Station", or "Player Owned Structure". No component of the starbase is a station. Player Owned Structure technically refers to the individual structures that make up a starbase. Worse still, players often refer to the central structure, the Control Tower as the POS on its own. Officially, the term "Player Owned Starbase" refers to the entire group of structures that make up a starbase.

Line 8:

A starbase is used in the following capacities:

*To mine resources from ~~Moons~~

*To mine resources from moons

*To hold goods and materials in a time of war or for transportation

*To give players a safe place to go when under fire
