Description
"I have fond memories of these emplacements. I spent much of my early life overseeing the Unions contributions to multiple nations from one. It defended the planet admirably, and I wouldnt wish to have any other foundation from which to fight a surface to orbit engagement" - Admiral HargunRavenspire Array:
The Ravenspire Array just like the Megalis is one of the Unions largest and most powerful Anti Orbital Installations. Able to protect both extensive ground and air assets from orbital assault the Ravenspire is not only able to shelter Union military units, but engage ships out to high orbital with its intensely powerful Hyperfrequency laser. While not quite as legendary as the Megalis in its power it is more than capable of destroying medium size capital ships in orbit, and has multiple AO Mass drivers and missile launchers to supplement its firepower. The Ravenspire also has another trick up its sleeve, able to redirect the power of its ship killing Hyperfrequency laser into a huge phased laser array. With this it can wipe out entire attack wings of enemy aircraft or swarms of drop ships effectively creating a blanket no fly zone around the entire area of its affect, allowing Union aerial forces to then deploy from the facilities giant hangars and runways unhindered and able to engage enemy forces conducting combat drops. However unlike the Megalis array the Ravenspire is typically not used by civilians (although it can be) and is located away from civilian habitation areas.

I can imagine some heavily defended planet with these giant spires rising from the ground like some artificial trees... Not a place youd't want to attempt a landing in.

Thats exactly what Union fortress worlds are, covered in orbital defenses and reinforced cities/areas not somewhere you would want to attempt to assault for sure XD

...But imagine if they'd used all the money that went to the military to build schools and hospitals and clean energy sources!

Ahhh but you see the Union already has clean energy sources And in its galaxy its actually the place to go for education (other nations and factions send their kids there for learning etc.) Plus its medical practices are up there thanks to numerous species medical knowledge all being compiled along with advanced technology. The Union isnt the USA
