Description:
---------------
The Castle-class outpost is a small independent military station, designed to support naval operations.
The outpost is a small military installation based on the Watchtower-class and capable of storage of a considerable amount of general supplies and heavy ordnance. It can be efficiently operated by a relatively small crew and comfortably house the crews of several small warships. The station is heavily armored, decently shielded and heavier armed than the smaller Watchtower-class with more numerous, more powerful and longer ranged weapons.
The Castle-class is a crucial strategic asset to UFSN fleet groups operating at the fringes of Union space. These outposts are frequently stationed in proximity to valuable Navy assets. However, they are also regularly deployed in remote regions, where they serve as bases for anti-piracy and border defense missions.
