You would probably have a lot better luck asking this in the GCW forum.

Yes - different level NPCs come with different bases.

Forward outposts are extremely weak, really only good for oppossing faction members to grind faction points and Xp on.

The Detachment HQs on the other hand, are nearly invincible.

They're not invincible for the first hour after a server reset. All Imperial PvP bases become vulnerable and the PvE bases rarely spawn NPCs. It's a waste to drop Imperial bases these days with Rebels running around right after reset taking them down with their base takedown characters.

I recently purchased and placed a forward outpost base and put a couple of large turrets up with it. I have Imperial officers walking around, but I have seen some bases with dark troopers and AT ST's outside. I was wondering how to acheive this. I was also wondering how to level up the troops who occupy the base, since I've seen some high levels at 88+. Any input is appreciated.

Two types of bases: Regular bases (PvE) and S.F. bases (PvP).
- PvE bases can be taken down by combatants, they are always vulnerable, and players cannot stop other players from destroying them. Their only defense is the turrets, minefields and NPCs (which are outside and inside the base).
- PvP bases can only be taken by special forces players, they are only vulnerable for 3 hours every other day, and in this time an attacking team needs to clear out the base and use the base takedown terminals, while the defending team tries to prevent that. If the attacking team can use all needed terminals (that only spawn during the vulnerability period) and prevent the defending team from resetting the destruction timer for 10 minutes, the base will blow up. PvP bases are defended by players, minefields and NPCs (which only spawn on the inside). Turrets cannot be placed on PvP bases.

The level of NPCs at the base is tied to the level of the base. A Forward Outpost is the weakest base and has weak NPCs, a Detachment HQ is the strongest base and spawns NPCS of up to lvl 90. On PvP bases, the hardest NPCs will spawn during the vulnerability time. Furthermore, the losing side of the GCW (the faction with the least GCW points on the planet) will get harder NPCs for base defense duty than the winning side.
All bases will respawn the killed NPCs after a while, and can spawn special NPC groups when base destruction terminals are used.

Finally, each type of base contributes points towards a planetary GCW score. Bigger bases give more points, S.F. bases give more points than their PvE counterparts, and the longer a base stands undefeated, the more points it contributes to the score.
