In the original SWG:Empire Divided SE box was a box detailing the art and development of the game. One page where they are discussing the games architecture has scaled diagrams of modular parts for faction bases. Modular military structures, such as walls and guard houses, play an important role in creating Imperial and Rebel outposts.


These include;


Military Base Gate Housing- This is the housing for the rusty, creaky gate to roll back into. It is also a lightly armored guard tower. The blueish force field cieling allows guards to watch for attacks from above.


Military Base guard house- This is the strongest "tower" that a player can build in the military base. It has stairs that lead from the the inside of the compound up through the center of the guard house to the main guard room above.


Military Base Storage House- This building is used by players to store things in the military base.


Military Base Weak Wall- This is the small player-made military base wall. Its made of concrete segments. A bit thinner than the medium wall size.


Military Base Wall- This is the medium size wall in the player-made military base. Made of cement, its built in 8 meter segments.


Military Base Strong Wall- This is the strongest of the three player-made military base walls. It's made of concrete overlaid with steel panels. its also the thickest of the walls. Built in 8 meter segments.


Sure, some of the artwork made it into other NPC base like structures. But the concepts hinted at here provided so much more interesting potential.

i never read that before but i must say it sounds SWEET, ive also heard that in the GCW revamp they may be adding larger bases to place like the Imp Base on Talus and the one on Lok, i think the one on Talus is possibly the coolest place ever, if only Talus was a half way usefull planet it might get some use...
