Docks, also known as Spaceports, are locations where spacecraft can dock to trade, refuel, restock and take on passengers and cargo. The docks were formerly skyports, however after skyships were fased out they began to serve spacecraft. Most docks are mostly flat wastes where spacecraft can land with ample space. Around docks are normally markets, warehouses and criminal organisations that can attract smugglers, often disguising themselves as 'importers and exporters' in the eyes of the Commonwealth. However many freelance spacecraft operators don't use docks, and can find a way to land in the wilderness, however few can due to docking restrictions.
