SoB Warp Relay

The SoB Warp Relay is the most common type of Baalite military presence in the interstellar region of New Ephebia.

Description
Warp Relays can come in a variety of colours, each designated with a different name. All relay structures consist of a central command "rod", where facilities are; a interior ring, the platform for the Relay's defences; and the final exterior ring, an energy-supercharged structure that appears to be the power source for the station.

Combat capability
Warp Relays come in two main forms: The armed, "common" Type 1, and the rarer, unarmed "recon" Type 2. The only difference between the two is that the common variant has turret defences, while the recon variant lacks such defences and is as such a much easier target. However, both variants are capable of requisitioning defence and reinforcement fleets, meaning that one should still be wary when assaulting a seemingly defenceless relay. Both variants have clearance to request 4 or more frigate-size warships, along with many smaller craft.
