Its an enhanced waste recycling system for stations that are far away from water sources.The 'arms' on a few Coriolis stations; are they for a habitation ring such as you'd find on an Orbis station?
I don't think this question's ever been properly resolved.

I believe in an older thread on the subject, someone actually measured the length of the arms and speed of rotation and calculated the pseudo-G-forces felt at the ends of the arms, and it comes out to about 1 G. The arms are actually at about the same radius as the largest habitat rings on an Orbis-class station.
So they're not for high-G acclimatisation, they're for anything or anyone that needs approx 1 G. The gravity at "surface level" of a standard starport (of any class) is significantly lower than 1 G; you'll notice that the landing pads have big "LOW GRAVITY AREA" signs around them. A Coriolis without the arms (or an Orbis or Ocellus without the large ring) has nowhere where one could experience regular-Earth pseudo-gravity.
They are High-frequency Cosmic Resonance Collectors (HCRCs) . They perform highly detailed examinations of celestial object within a 200 LY radius. First they perform a detailed spectrographic analysis of celestial object within range. Then they emit low-end directional gamma bursts and monitor the celestial resonance created by these bursts. This data is instantly compared over a nano-hyper-network against previous data from this and other stations and compiled noting gamma-shifts, x-wave constancy, gravity torsion metrics, and finally witch-space distortion factors. However, it is not known why the HCRCs do this becuase they then go on to produce a liquid that invariably tastes almost, but not quite, totally unlike tea.
