Command Stations are the nerve center of every star system. There can only be one Command Station in a star system and it is the only structure that can provide Supply.
In older versions, the destruction of a Command Station caused any Colony Ships, Mobile Builders, and Energy Collectors present in the system are destroyed as well to prevent a form of instant-rebuilding cheese. In newer versions, the destruction of a command station adds a rebuilding delay based on the type of station. Command stations are able to build a 'replacement' command station in close proximity to themselves without triggering the timer, allowing military stations or warp jammers to be converted to economic or logistics stations as the front lines change. Each Mk costs 4,000 + 4,000*Mk Metal.
All Human command stations double the speed of allied ships in their system.
There are actually several types of Command Stations as follows:

Human Stations

These are the stations that can be built by the player. Stations are mutually exclusive - The AI does not have access to human stations, the player does not have access to AI stations (though some stations may share similarities).

Human Home Command Station

Orbital Command Station - Home Planet is the Command Station that is present in every human home system at game start. If this structure is destroyed, the humans have lost and it is game over.
(There is a caveat on how losing works in Multiplayer.)
Increases AI Progress by 30 when destroyed or scrapped. Produces 600 Metal & 30,000 Energy Increases metal storage by 2,000,000. Salvages 40% of ships destroyed in system.

Economic Command Station

Economic Command Station is one of the Command Stations that can be built in conquered star systems. The Economic Command Station maximizes resource production at the expense of everything else. Put these in backwater systems to boost your economy with minimal risk.

Logistical Command Station

Logistical Command Station is one of the Command Stations that can be built in conquered star systems. The Logistical Command Station is designed to move your ships around faster, store resources, and prevent enemy teleport deepstriking. Use these to create a buffer between the front lines and your economic core.

Military Command Station

Military Command Station is one of the Command Stations that can be built in conquered star systems. The Military Command Station is designed for front line systems where combat is expected. Place these over the exits to frontline planets, near Advanced Factories and Fabricators, and near other positions of value. Note that these have no damage reduction from firing under force fields.

Warp Jammer Command Station

Warp Jammer Command Station is one of the Command Stations that can be built in conquered star systems. The Warp Jammer Command Station is specialty station that tricks the AI into think that the system is still under its control.
Consumes 40 Metal & Crystal.
Prevents the AI from initiating Attack Waves against this planet, including normal Waves, Counterattack Post waves and so on. Also prevents the adjacent planets from going on alert from the loss of the AI command station. Adjacent planets can still go alert from other factors, such as a large enough human military presence.

AI Stations

AI Orbital Command Station

AI Orbital Command Station is the AI's central command post in a star system. Destroying this structure is necessary before you can build your own Command Station in the system. When a AI Orbital Command Station is destroyed, any Wormhole Guard Post or Warp Gate left in the system are destroyed as well.
Increases AI Progress by 15 when destroyed or scrapped.

AI Home Command Station

AI Orbital Command Station - Home Planet is the AI's central command post our galaxy. There are two of these Command Stations in the galaxy, one for each AI. These two Command Stations must be destroyed to chase the AI out of our galaxy and win the game.
All Core Guard Posts in the system must be destroyed before the AI Orbital Command Station - Home Planet can be attacked.
Increases AI Progress by 20 when destroyed.

AI Modular Fortress Command Station

The Modular Fortress Command Station is exclusively used by the Fortress King AI.
Have fun. :)
