Part 44

Broadcast Centre / Temple of Communion / Media Hub: These structures cost 900 Credits, 100 Metal, and 150 Crystals, have 4500 Hull Points, 6 Armour, and use 4 slots. They are necessary for culture wars, which increase planet allegiance to your empire and weaken opposing planets' allegiance. If a colonized planet's culture hits zero, it will rebel and become neutral, ready for capture.

Gauss Defence Platform / Bean Defence Platform / Missile Platform: These basic stationary platforms cost 250 Credits, 75 Metal, and 35 Crystals. They have 3000 Hull Points, 12 Armour, deal 20 Damage, require no research, and use 1 slot. They are useful against stationary attackers during enemy sieges but are weak against fast-moving ships and strike craft.

Hangar Defence: This structure costs 700 Credits, 120 Metal, and 70 Crystals. It has 4000 Hull Points, 8 Armour, requires 1 Level in Hangar Defence (All Factions), uses 4 slots, and consumes 250 Antimatter. It allows two strike craft to be based off it and is useful for planetary defense, especially when built en masse with a strong defense fleet.

Repair Platform: This structure costs 400 Credits, 100 Metal, and 75 Crystals. It has 3500 Hull Points, 6 Armour, requires 1 Level in Repair Platform/Regeneration Bay, uses 2 slots, and consumes 300 Antimatter. It repairs the hull of friendly ships using its antimatter reserve and should be placed on frontline planets where fleets see action.

Phase Jump Inhibitor: This structure costs 750 Credits, 80 Metal, and 125 Crystals. It has 2400 Hull Points, 6 Armour, requires 1 Level in Phase Jump Disruption, and uses 4 slots. It increases the time it takes for enemy vessels to jump out of a system within its radius, allowing time for a finishing blow.

Shield Generator (TEC) / Antimatter Recharge (Advent) / Nano Weapon Jammer & Phase Stabilizer (Vasari): These structures have varying names but similar base stats: 4000 Hull Points, 6 Armour, and use 3 slots. They have different research requirements and Antimatter costs (Shield Generator: 1000 Credits, 150 Metal, 175 Crystals, 300 Antimatter; Antimatter Recharge: 250 Antimatter; Nano Weapon Jammer/Phase Stabilizer: no specific cost listed but implied to be similar).

• Shield Generator (TEC): Provides a shield for a planet, slowing down enemy bombardment and allowing time for reinforcements.

Antimatter Recharge (Advent): Recharges the antimatter reserves of friendly capital ships, useful on frontline planets.

Nano Weapon Jammers (Vasari): Use nanomachines to increase the reload time of enemy weapons within range, reducing incoming damage.

Phase Stabilizer (Vasari): Allows the creation of new phase lanes between two structures, useful for creating shortcuts and direct reinforcement lines.
