Abandoned Bases are long abandoned, uninhabited stations. The player can use them as a free storage facility, similar to the storage provided in the markets. Unlike most abandoned structures, these bases cannot be salvaged, as they have been thoroughly gutted already.
Three abandoned bases exist in the Core Worlds:
- Abandoned Terraforming Platform orbiting Asharu (Independent) in Corvus Star System.
- Abandoned Astropolis orbiting Mairaath (Persean League) in Mayasura Star System.
- Abandoned Siphon Station orbiting Chupi Orco (uninhabited) in Yma Star System.
Abandoned Terraforming Platform in Corvus has a single Hermes stored in it at the start of the game. The other two are empty.
Additionally, any station that has been abandoned and become decivilised may also be used as a free storage facility.
Station descriptions
Abandoned Terraforming Platform
| An abandoned orbital staging area for the Asharu terraforming project. Castoff bulk-carrier segments welded between a honeycomb of emptied fuel tanks once formed concourses teeming with engineers and colonists. The hangars stand empty but for a few slumped, stripped hulks. Passive energy collectors and tertiary life-support modules keep the station functioning and in orbit, barely. No one would expect to find anything of value here. | ||

Abandoned Astropolis
| Destroyed in the attack on Mairaath of Cycle 82, this cold wreckage of the former astropolis remains in orbit in a cloud of its own debris. | ||

Abandoned Siphon Station
| Once a giant industrial machine that manipulated the magnetosphere of Chupi Orco to pull volatiles into space from the highest reaches of an artificial storm-system, the coils, generators, and tanks are now gutted, the habitats run-through by energy lances. A few hangars and access tunnels still show minimal life-support function, pitifully lingering until inevitable gas leakage and solar cell fouling leaves the station as cold and dead as the tomb it is. | ||
