![]() Astute observers will notice that these weapons are perfect for anti-aerospace Fighter operations, reflecting the reality of war during the Succession Wars. As the enemy closes, the AC/10 and suite of laser weapons makes the area around the Bastion a bad place for an attacker to be. The LRM launchers engage targets at long range, supplemented by the PPCs and AC/5 mounted alongside them. To fulfill its primary role, the Bastion mounts a variety of energy and projectile weapons. The Bastion instead changed its focus from combat to sentry duty: Capable of identifying attackers early, and maintaining up to 48 aerospace fighters and small craft, the Bastion was a secure launch facility for defending jump points. No attacker wanted to face a Bastion and no defender wanted to lose one. With the general loss of technology during the Succession Wars era, the Bastions and other stations like them were relegated to the sidelines. By 3025, most of the Bastion stations were found in orbit around Successor State capital worlds or other important worlds located in the core of a state. Though common around many worlds, almost 500 years of continual warfare destroyed most of the stations that were deployed in border systems. The Bastion consists of two such modules massing 75,000 tons each, greatly simplifying the assembly process at their destination site. It was also probably the first space station to be constructed from modular parts that could individually be docked to JumpShip hardpoints for jump transportation. We do not misrepresent risky services as "safe" and of course we will NEVER use shady boosting methods such as hacking, exploiting, or botting.Designed in the early days of the Star League, the Bastion-class space station was the most common orbital fortress in the Space Defense Systems.
