POSes in 0.0 space used to be used to claim sovereignty, so you'll see references to that in older information. That's no longer the case, but they're commonly used as defensive structures and safe points. They will invariably be heavily armed. Under no circumstance should one be approached casually. | POSes in 0.0 space used to be used to claim sovereignty, so you'll see references to that in older information.

With the introduction of Citadels and Engineering Complexes, POSes are primarily used as rally points for fleet formups, temporary safe locations for supercapital ships in systems without a Keepstar, and for moon mining and reactions (a role that will be removed when Refineries launch in Winter 2017). | |||
In wormhole space, POSes | These structures can serve as a home base in a system with no citadels, engineering complexes, or outposts, ("docking" stations, as seen in high/lowsec). In the past they were often used as industrial facilities for a nullsec corporation or alliance. Industrial POSes will typically have lighter defenses than purely defensive setups, but may be vigorously defended by the owners. | ||
In wormhole space, POSes were once the only available structures to base out of. While Citadels have largely taken over this function, you will still find POSes in wormholes some of which run very heavy defenses. If the POS is manned, expect human POS gunners to take careful aim and blow up your ship and pod without apology. | |||
