Mixed Canonicity
This article or section refers to elements from both Original Dune and Expanded Dune.
A spaceport was the place on a planet where off-world traffic would take off to travel into interstellar realms. Although there were some places where star-ward traffic would sometimes take off particular planets, by the time of the Corrino Empire, using spaceports was strongly encouraged; as all interstellar travel was heavily regulated by the Guild; and most craft were heading to rendezvous with heighliners.
