Bastion-class battlestations are a classification of defensive platforms situated to defend vital territory. It is capable of unleashing a storm of firepower upon an enemy and acting as mobile command centres for local forces. To fulfill its functions, the Bastion battlestations are equipped with construction bays and docks that allow refuelling, repairing, refitting, and building new vessels.

Overview
The Bastion battlestation was designed and built during an era in human history where they needed bulwark defenders that could defend against any potential attackers, buying time for reinforcements to arrive. They are one of the largest human constructs available at 26 kilometres in length, 16 kilometres wide, and 21 kilometres high. The hull of the station is composed of Raijin armour plating, as is standard among human vessels. Despite its war making capability, it is equipped with numerous scientific and intelligence agency based facilities, along with civilian centres for the onboard contingent.

Ship Systems
The battlestations are designed with Eitr-class reactors that powers many vital ship systems and are located in dozens of different locations throughout the station, each protected by shields and specially designed areas. Its Anemoi-class engines allow the station to be propelled within the void of space and are fast enough to keep up with standard fleet formations they are assigned to. For FTL travel, it is equipped with a Helios-class drive that lets it enter slipspace without assistance from a jumpgate.
