[[Orbital complexes]] are large artificial satellites, capable of sustaining life.
 
 
 
== Description (Specifications) ==
 
Orbital complexes range in size from single stations up to large, sprawling cities. Complexes can be joined in a daisy-chain arrangement, or simply a group of closely proximate individual complexes in the same orbit. Three general size categories exist: orbital stations, orbital settlements, and orbital cities.

| [[Orbital Station]]
 
| An [[Orbital Station]] is a single large satellite used as an orbital installation, with a permanent population in the tens. Often built as a modular unit, able to be expanded upon as necessary. Some standard station types include refueling station, communications station, [[Research Station|research station]], fighter base, peace monitor, civilian transfer station (for personnel and/or cargo), or drydock control centre. Possible at {{TL|7}}.

| [[Orbital Settlement]]
 
| An [[Orbital Settlement]] is an open-cycle orbital station with a permanent population in the hundreds. Possible at {{TL|8}}.
 
|-
