A '''spaceport''', also known as a '''starport''',<ref name="exo">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> is a location on a planet where spacecraft launch and land, by analogy with seaport for seaborne ships or airport for aircraft. Spaceports may serve as transport hubs for cargo or passengers, or both. | A '''spaceport''', also known as a '''starport''',<ref name="exo">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level, ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> is a location on a planet where spacecraft launch and land, by analogy with seaport for seaborne ships or airport for aircraft. Spaceports may serve as transport hubs for cargo or passengers, or both. Spaceports are often located in the vicinity of [[:Category:Cities|cities]], connected to them by highways or [[MagLev train]]s.<ref name="ch">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''pages 37-38''</ref> | ||
Alternatively, commuters or goods may be shipped to orbital platforms connected to [[space elevator]]s which serve as a method of transportation between outer space and a planet surface, a method cheaper than the use of rocket fuel to escape a planet's atmosphere. A [[shuttle port]] is a type of spaceport presumably used primarily by shuttlecraft.<ref>''[[Axon]]'', [[Media:old_mombasa.ogg|old_mombasa]]</ref> Spaceports were common targets for [[terrorism|terrorists]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s. During [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], [[Tribute]]'s numerous spaceports were under constant supervision by [[ARGUS drone]]s to prevent bombings.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 12''</ref> | |||
Spaceports | Spaceports were also found on the [[Sangheili]] worlds, such as the mining colony of [[Creck]]. Sangheili could land and temporarily store their personal starships in a spaceport while they visited a world. The spaceports were guarded by armed Sangheili and travelers were required to go through processing stations. To enter or leave a spaceport with a starship, Sangheili were required to gain proper clearance from a spaceport administrator.<ref>'''[[Halo: Broken Circle]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> | ||
