Foundries are a type of structure employed by the Banished. They consist of minor war-forges and are capable of manufacturing almost any ground vehicle in the Banished fleet.[1] They can be constructed at any outpost site and function as the Banished equivalent of the United Nations Space Command Garage/Vehicle Depot or Covenant Factory.

Overview[edit]

The use of Foundries owes to the Banished emphasis on sheer military might to overpower their enemies.[1] While they originated as raiders, the fall of the Covenant allowed them to grow into an industrialised power, adopting new strategies and technologies as demanded by Atriox. As such, Foundries incorporate the use of Huragok and miniature assembly forges, the use of such in forward bases something that would have been considered heresy in the Covenant.[2]
