A '''spaceport''', also known as a '''starport''', | 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 '''shuttle port''' is a type of spaceport presumably used primarily by shuttlecraft. There are at least 15 major shuttle ports on [[Earth]].<ref>''[[Axon]]'', [[Media:ILB_Old_mombasa.ogg|old_mombasa]]</ref> 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. | ||
Due to their significance to interplanetary and interstellar transportation, spaceports are 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> | Due to their significance to interplanetary and interstellar transportation, spaceports are common targets for [[terrorism|terrorists]] and [[Insurrectionist]]s.

Spaceports are also found on [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili colonies|worlds]], such as the mining colony of [[Creck]] in the early days of the [[Covenant]]. 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. | Spaceports are also found on [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili colonies|worlds]], such as the mining colony of [[Creck]] in the early days of the [[Covenant]].
