You make a ship at a shipyard with "station founder" checked, control it, fly it somewhere and click the build station button in the top right. They cost several million, though.
As for why, everything the station earns (by selling to players or npc's) goes into your account and its stock is your property (and you can take it for free).
Of course, all of that is less interesting for wanderers since systems you aren't in aren't simulated...

Warning: do not ask about physics unless you really want to know about physics.
