=== Station ===
{{main|Station (Player-Owned)}}
Stations are very similar to the ones found in high-sec, but with a few exceptions. The owner of the station can choose who is allowed to dock at the station. Maintaining a station costs an upkeep bill which is charged to the alliance wallet. Station services such as fitting and cloning can be disabled by attackers by activating an entosis link on those services. Station owners can re-activate the services by using an entosis node on the disabled service.

If a system does not currently have an I-Hub, TCU or Station, a player may place one. Deploying a station requires the players alliance owning the TCU in the system.  
If a system does not currently have an I-Hub, or TCU a player may place one.  
Deploying an I-Hub or TCU involves buying or making one, and then launching it in to space (right-click and "launch" or dragging the structure to space). Once this is done the structure is in a neutral state and owned by the SCC. To gain ownership of the structure, a player must activate an entosis link on the structure to capture it. Other alliances are free to attempt to capture the structure while it is in this state.

Stations work differently; once deployed and after the next downtime, the station will belong to the alliance that deployed it.

If the defender wins the command node event, the structure being fought for becomes invulnerable and will remain that way until the next vulnerability window occurs. If the attacker wins, the next steps depend on the type of structure being attacked. For I-Hubs and TCUs, the existing structure explodes. This allows anyone to anchor their own structure in space to replace the old one.

If a station is successfully attacked, it enters Freeport mode. This allows any player to dock at the station, no fees or taxes will be awarded to any corporations and no docking fees may be charged. All online services will be available for any docked player. It remains in this state for 48 hours, at which point a new command node control event begins, during which each alliance is counted as a separate "side". The winner of this event gains control of the station.

====Regeneration====
Structures that have been attacked but not reinforced, station services that have not been disabled and command nodes all have defensive regeneration. This means that if the structure is left uncontested, eventually the defending side will win. The maximum regeneration times are as follows:

The length of time it takes to reinforce a structure, capture a command node or disable a station service depends on the Activity Defense Multiplier (ADM) for the system. This rewards an alliance for holding and being active in the system, making it easier for them to defend.

The base timer for the structure is multiplied by the ADM to give the total amount of (uncontested) time required for an attacker to reinforce a structure or capture a command node. The time taken for a defender to regen a structure, capture a command node or enable a station service is unaffected by the ADM.

Structures are not vulnerable to attack 24 hours a day. Each alliance has a window of time set during which their structures are vulnerable to attack. This is usually their "prime time" where they are best able to fend off any attacks. Newly deployed or captured structures will inherit this setting from the alliance that controls it. However, the alliance can choose to change the window of any structure the default setting to a custom value. If a structure is partially captured at the end of a vulnerability window, it will remain vulnerable until it is either reinforced or successfully defended.

Station services are not subject to the vulnerability window, and can be enabled or disabled at any time.
