Codex Entry
Defense Buildings
The single building that gates every defense unit.
System Defense Command
| Building | Family | Metal L1 | Crystal L1 | Aeth L1 | Energy | Cost × | Time L1 | Pop Req |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
System Defense Command Gates all defense unit production. Coordinates system-wide turrets, shields and platforms. | Defense | 1,650 | 825 | 275 | -30 | 2.2^L | 58s | 1,200 |
The System Defense Command is the only defense building, and it does two jobs. Each level unlocks higher-tier emplacements and builds them faster — the same way the Shipyard treats hulls. It is also the gate on building anything at all: without one, no emplacement can be ordered.
The full list of which units unlock at which level lives on the Defense › Units page.
Coming Soon·Battles are coming
Emplacements build and stand for real, but nothing in the game can assault a system you hold yet, so no garrison has ever been fired on. Player-vs-player combat is what makes them matter. See the Coming Soon page for what's on the horizon.
