Sensor Fouling - Made with a special alloy, these stations are hard to detect with run of the mill scanners.
Prickly - These stations come standard with a wide spread of heavy hitting weapons to defend themselves as immobile security and sensor outposts.
Bundled Up - With layered armor, composite alloys, laser and ion defensive cannons, as well as layered shielding, these stations are a tough shell to crack.
Always Listening - The inclusion of many sensor systems and even an array dish to further enhance the scanning systems focus besides the oversized passive scanner antennas, these stations also come with sensor buoys to form a sensor net system, making them difficult to hide from.

Not Invisible - While difficult to detect with run of the mill scanners, they are not impossible for higher grade scanners.
Hard to Miss - There is no minimizing the large scale of these stations, as they are highly visible and not meant to blend in with anything.
Poked in the Eye - While the sensor net system this station employs is handy, once found, the sensor buoys are easy to take out and thus blind the station.
Nearly Immobile - The stations have the bare minimum capability of moving and shifting their position that even a larger starship can likely outpace. They are a Dantooine Plains Turkey waiting to be shot.

The Bastion-class station is a mass-produced yet restricted-distribution military space station engineered by Priddy General Engineering and Manufacturing for The High Republic to serve as a durable and heavily armed sentinel for system security and early warning operations. Though not available on the open market, it is a common sight in High Republic-protected star systems and hyperspace junctions of strategic importance.

Designed with a cruciform layout, the Bastion stands approximately 2.5 kilometers tall and features layered hull armor and tripled shielding arrays, making it one of the more resilient fortifications deployed outside of wartime citadels. Its integrated sensor spire can scan across multiple spectrums and hyperspace lanes, enabling early detection of enemy movements, pirate raids, or unregistered vessels attempting to breach system integrity. Paired with a complement of Sensor Buoys to generate a Sensor Net system, Bastion stations are exemplary outposts for early threat detection within an assigned system.

Another feature of these stations is an expanded hangar complex embedded within its upper midsection, capable of housing multiple starfighter squadrons, dropships, or patrol gunboats. Hangar traffic is controlled by autonomous coordination nodes and guided entry fields that allow for rapid scramble or reception of returning forces even while under fire.

Though not flashy, the Aegis Bastion-class represents a no-nonsense, war-ready platform favored by sector marshals, planetary security commands, and fleet logistics officers who need a reliable outpost that can anchor a region's defense without drawing undue political scrutiny or requiring a full battle group to support.
