* In Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'' interstellar travel is via a PortalNetwork of "wormholes", meaning these -- whether space stations or whole planets -- are common in the setting. A notable example is Kline Station, a politically independent space habitat in a distant orbit around a "dark star" with no planets, but near which half-a-dozen wormhole exits can be found within practicable sublight cruising distance of one another; the "Docks and Locks" area of the space station complex features prominently in ''Ethan of Athos'' (mostly set on Kline Station) and it's very clear that, while it obviously has no natural resources of its own, Kline Station is nonetheless a significant commercial center on account of its position on the wormhole nexus. The planet Komarr is even more important to the action of the saga; while (unlike Kline Station) it ''is'' a planet, it's a pretty worthless one (cold and without a breathable atmosphere, with the population living in [[DomedHometown domed cities]]) without much in the way of natural resources, but once again of strategic importance on account of being at the convergence of numerous important wormhole routes. Komarr has been "a galactic trade crossroads for centuries", with an economy founded on "providing services to the trade ships of other worlds" that pass through its wormholes. As on Kline Station, Komarran domes prominently feature "Docks and Locks" districts, where cargoes can be loaded and unloaded. The broader Komarr System also features a number of off-planet space stations at the entrances to the wormholes.

* In Heinlein's novel ''Literature/StarmanJones'' interstellar travel is accomplished by way of a PortalNetwork of "Horst congruencies", leading to one of these on a planetary scale, in the form of Garson's Planet. Garson's Planet is bitterly cold, with an unbreathable methane atmosphere; it is "the least unpleasant" of the thirteen planets of its star, Theta Centauri. However, the Theta Centauri System is at the other end of the Solar System's sole Horst congruency...but there are half a dozen other congruencies accessible from Theta Centauri, and Garson's Planet has therefore become "the inevitable cross-roads for trade of the Solar Union". While parts of it are evidently rather high-class, the parts directly depicted in the novel tend to the seedy side, with lots of bars (complete with bar girls) and other "tawdry inducements for the stranger to part with cash".

* In Heinlein's novel ''Literature/BetweenPlanets'' Circum-Terra Station (in orbit around Earth) is described as having many functions, from meteorology to astronomy to [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking serving as the place where the government stockpiles nuclear weapons to keep Earth's population in line]]. But the space station's main function is as a transfer point for freight and passengers from short-ranged surface-to-orbit shuttlecraft to interplanetary liners, and for that purpose it has refueling facilities, repair yards, and even a large hotel with [[CentrifugalGravity artificial gravity]].
