Players help to shape the world of Elite: Dangerous and one community goal saw the building of a new spaceport at New Yembo. Since then Frontier have been quizzing the community on names for it.
Many names were suggested from those used for spacecraft in popular media to even suggestions that it be named in honour of the deceased Leonard Nimoy (who instead had tribute paid by placing a station bearing his name around the game's planet Vulcan). Finally the competition has closed and Frontier have looked through the entries to decide on a name. The starport will be named "Unity".
On the forum Community Manager Edward Lewis announced the naming of the station, saying that the name of Unity was "a very popular choice by the community" and saying that because unity meant that things were united as a whole, it felt like a fitting name for a station built as a result of the community's efforts in-game.
