Why bases have to be fixed, the RSI Bastion, a true mobile base platform designed for long-term planetary operations. Unlike ships, the Bastion can’t leave atmosphere — it’s a hover fortress that glides a few meters above the ground using RSI grav-plate technology. Think of it as a cross between a rover and an outpost: it moves like a massive hover tank, but once deployed it transforms into a self-sustaining circular base. Hover Mode → streamlined travel, sealed panels, resilient armor. Base Mode → deployable solar arrays, science mast, internal garage, crew quarters, and even drone bays. Roles → exploration hub, org rally point, survival outpost, or science station. It’s meant to fill the gap between ground vehicles like the Ursa and static planetary outposts — giving orgs the ability to set up, move, and re-deploy wherever the frontier takes them.
