Points of Interest:
The Command Tower: Situated at the very centre of any of these bases sits the Command Tower. This area of the base coordinates with the rest of First Imperial Naval Command to secure First Order territory and inform them immediately of any attacks.
The Maintenance Bays: Seven large craters surround the Command Tower, they are deep enough and large enough to fit an imperial-x star destroyer. The bays are fitted with small offices at their bottoms holding droids, equipment and documentation.
The Ion Module: Located outside of the shields perimeter is the ion module. This module contains an Ion Canon battery, used to disrupt invading forces. Thanks to the fact it's outside of the shield generator, when firing it doesn't disrupt the shield. It's fortified with its own pillbox and turbolaser network.
The Part Warehouse: Sitting on one side of the base sits the maintenance warehouse. Larger parts from star destroyer engines to reactors for escort frigates sit inside of the warehouse. It is however large enough to stop troops from cleanly reaching the portion of the base it occupies.
Description: When the First Order Military Command realised that war with the Galactic Alliance was a near certainty, they decided to construct military fortresses across their holdings to fortify and hold onto their territory. However, in order to keep in step with the Order’s ideas of uniformity, the brass decided to have similar specs for each and every facility. One facility per civilised system meant a system of allowing the Order to greatly expand its defensive capabilities.
In order to greatly speed up production, seven modules would need to be pre-constructed and be able to be deployed. All the modules can be deployed via either heavy transport, or capital ship. Some modules however take longer than others to be prepared.
Four of the modules would be largely the same, and be able to be deployed rapidly from a ship. These modules consisted of eight levels, topped by a sensor and communications tower. Levels one through to five, all identical in size and shape, consisted mainly of the large surface vehicle bays where all the surface vehicles were stored, maintained and deployed from. They also contained most of the personnel quarters as well as the armory, detention cells and most other key base areas. Level six held the officer's quarters, TIE fighter pilots' quarters, command rooms and so on. Level seven consisted entirely of the TIE fighter hangars. These modules Level eight was the deployment chutes and control rooms for the base's TIEs. Garrison bases also had underground sub-levels which contained the generators and main infrastructure.
The next module is unable to be deployed quickly like the others. The ion module is heavily armoured, but lacks the defences of its cousins. On larger defence complexes, it is best deployed out of shield radius so its fire doesn't disrupt shield generation. It contains pillboxes and a small turbolaser network.
The next module is scantly defended, and holds a defensive shield, and the power generator. Due to the size of such devices, and the lack of turbolasers and other defensive emplacements it is better used in tandem with two to three tier one modules to increase defensive synergy. This module also contains a turbolaser defensive grid and pillboxes.
The penultimate module is the command tower. Due to the construction necessary to physically build this, the command tower is only an addition built for long term defensive projects. Despite being delivered in modular form, it does not contain the same quick deployment mechanisms of its cousins. It contains AA batteries to ward of fighter attacks, as well as the infrastructure for the more long term deployment of stormtroopers. As well as a naval command centre to coordinate fleets and advanced communications to transmit data to.
As an addition to the First Order's naval infrastructure, defensive complexes would also employ several large maintenance pits. Pits large enough to hold an imperial-x star destroyer, or an arrangement of frigates.
This sort of long term maintenance requires a eighth module, which offers no defences. This module carries a warehouse and a storage of replacement parts for the ships of the First Order fleet. It however is a large building, and blocks the line of sight on whichever side of the base it is on. If an enemy were to attack in that direction, the troop lines for supporting that defence would be longer. This module however means it is ready for long term naval yard usage.
History: As the First Order expanded upon military spending in the months and years after the Omega Crisis, it was deemed necessary to expand military and naval capacity. Upon that note, a design was hatched similar to that of the Varonaut Naval Facility by Carlyle Rausgeber for one giant super structure, able to be deployed from orbit.
Rausgeber’s vision was however deemed too idealistic, and instead a leaf from the Galactic Empire’s playbook was used to create a newer design. Using a series of fortified modules easily deployed, a garrison of 30’000 stormtroopers could be ready with naval repair capacity in little under three days of non stop labour. Being able to be cheaply produced, and easily deployed, the modular garrison fortresses have become an important part of First Imperial defensive works.
Intent: To give any invading forces some firm defences to come up against.
