'''Drop bases''' | '''Drop bases''' are a kind of deployable structure used by the [[Banished]] for establishing [[Banished outpost|forward outposts]] on new worlds during expeditionary campaigns.{{Ref/Level|HINF|Warship Gbraakon}}{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p442|Enc22|Page=442}} They consist of a modular{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p462|Enc22|Page=462}} building with automated{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p442}} thrusters attached, that allow the buildings to be released from an orbiting [[Banished dreadnought|dreadnought]] and then deployed to the ground. During such an invasion they are deployed as a second wave after an initial deployment of scouting and intelligence units. Once the needs of the invasion have been established, drop bases are deployed concurrently with waves of [[Gydrozka Workshop Breaching Pod|drop pods]] and [[Dropship|landing craft]]. The modular nature of the bases gives the Banished a great degree of flexibility in how they establish their outposts, and can be used in many different ways including as forges, armories, communications relays, and checkpoints.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p462}} | ||
