Command Towers are essentially a base of operations for mobile outposts. These mobile setups are generally deployed by Carrier-class vessels, such as the Nova, over a period of about 24 hours. The outpost, and all of its components are stored in pods that are unpacked once they are deployed. The unique ability of such outposts is that they can be packed up again and moved elsewhere.
The functions of Command Outposts are to provide fleets and squadrons a means for supply and fuel. Also, outposts are able to monitor movements of interstellar craft within a four jump radius - And be fitted for numerous tasks, such as science, research or combat.
Command Outposts with rerouted powergrids designed for combat have enough firepower to take on hoards of opponents - But due to the remoteness of these outposts, such setups are rarely used. The outposts themselves are poorly defended with very thin armour, due to it's portable nature.
