Military Base
| These facilities enable force projection between star systems. Any such military undertaking is a massive logistical operation requiring coordination of dozens, perhaps hundreds of star ships and thousands of officers, crew, and soldiers. | ||
–In-game description | ||
The Military Base industry can be built at any Colony by upgrading an existing Patrol HQ. It can be optionally upgraded to a High Command.
Construction
Military Base costs 450,000¢ to be upgraded to and has an upgrade time of 120 days.
It will refund 337,500¢ when downgraded and 562,500¢ when shut down.
Upkeep
Military Base has a base upkeep of 5,000¢ * (colony size - 2).

Production
Demands
- Supplies: equal to colony size + 1
- Fuel: equal to colony size + 1
- Ship Hulls & Weapons: equal to colony size + 1
A shortage of Supplies or Fuel will reduce the Stability bonus by that amount and reduce the Ground Defences bonus proportionally to the largest shortage.
A shortage of Ship Hulls & Weapons reduces Fleet Size directly.
AI Cores
Military Base receives the following bonuses when assigned an AI Core:
- Gamma: reduces demand by 1 unit, increases Pather interest & Hegemony interest by 1.
- Beta: reduces demand by 1 unit, reduces upkeep by 25%, increases Pather interest & Hegemony interest by 2.
- Alpha: reduces demand by 1 unit, reduces upkeep by 25%, increases fleet size by 25%, increases Pather interest & Hegemony interest by 4.
Additional Buffs
