-'''RaTech''' developed their own version (RaTech was founded by ''Sun Ra Ra'' a former [[HoOpy Casino]] owner who went into ship and station design). This version had luxury Gold plating for artistic purposes. This is often regarded as a waste of materials. Inside these stations everything is luxury - even on low-tech worlds. This makes a stay on this variant considerably more pleasant than on the standard versions. The 'Gold Bars' are often also equipped with slot machines and other games. The downside however is that maintenance is very difficult with all those non-standard parts.

 ''Dodo'' stations are now common sight in high-tech systems. The first prototype of the basic [[GASEC]] model went into orbit around [[Sector1/Leesti]] in 3138. At that moment the Leesti Coriolis was wiped out by a the comet Hal 9001. Scientists luckily predicted this impact a few months before the event after a major asteroid storm in the region. The new Dodo model could withstand impacts for much longer but it remains unclear why the new station was placed exactly in the same risky spot, probably for budget reasons. The Dodecahedron station proved to be a success.

-Axtech offered a cheap copy of the GASEC Dodecahedron without the nanotechnology. First prototype placed in orbit around a far away planet in Galaxy 5. Soon it was discovered that the GASEC patent on the DODO design was not valid due to the reorganisation of the GALCOP Patent office in 3143. The Patent application of GASEC was lost in the process. This all became clear in the DODO-GASEC vs Axtech trial in 3144. The outcome of the case was that it was allowed to make copy's of the Dodecahedral design without the GASEC DD1 nanotechnology. The Axtech DODO is not a pleasant thing to see. Axtech engineers designed the station with one thing in mind: quick and hard credits.

 == Trontech Vulcan (or LX 5 Dodo) ==
-Trontech was a company out of Galaxy 5. The company was experimenting with camouflage techniques and developed a hull material which was almost invisible. The first Dodecahedrons with these hull plating went into orbit around planets in known Thargoid war-zones. The first proto-station was known by the name LX5. Later it became known as Trontech Vulcan because of the red circuits that are visible when flying close to the station. It was rumoured that these circuits were utilized to 'cloak' the station. Trontech denied the existence of such technology and the current model cannot cloak. The prototype LX5 went 'missing' shortly after the rumours.

 Trontech went bankrupt in 3189. [[Other fictitious magazines|SPACE]] magazine reported that the engineers were quickly offered a job in the design team that designed the Sec Comms for the Galactic Navy.

 This design is the most energy-clean design of all the Coriolis variants. The whole hull is composed of solar panels. As a result of this there are no internal generators. This saves space. Therefore these Coriolis Stations are often known to have all kinds of special features ranging from little zoo's, greenhouses to extra conference centers inside the station core. There are low and higher tech variants but a traveller can not see that from the outside.

 The Icosahedral station, or ‘Ico’ was introduced in 3137 as part of the GalCop galaxy wide upgrade. GASEC was again offered a contract to design the new prototype. The original design again offered some innovations over the DODO.
 It was now possible to resize objects to a maximum of 65% of the original size (including ships) this resulted in efficient ship storage. So while externally ICO stations are about the same size of Coriolis and DODO stations it can store much larger quantities of cargo and ships, planets often needed just one in orbit.
