| ===Design details===
| |
| The structure is composed of a delta-shaped structure with a cleave down the approximate center, resembling the [[Beacon tower]]s on the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]]. It is also surrounded by [[hard light]] walls with ends meeting at the turrets. When sustaining enough damage, the structure retracts in on itself and into the ground. They are generally defended by beam turrets, [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, and [[Super Sentinel]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|HW}}

| In ''Halo Wars'', Forerunner forts occupy [[Socket Base|base build sites]] on Skirmish maps that take place within the shield world, namely [[Repository]], [[Labyrinth]], and [[Blood River]]. Like [[Rebel Base]]s, these forts serve as the Forerunner counterpart to the UNSC [[firebase]] and the [[Covenant citadel]].
| | The Forerunner forts are found on the [[Skirmish]] maps ''[[Repository]]'', ''[[Labyrinth]]'', and ''[[Blood River]]''. Like the [[Unidentified insurrectionist group|rebels]]' base, these forts serve as bases for the player to take over after destroying them. Simply use [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Exoskeleton|building]] [[Type-30 Light Excavation/Anti-Fortification Platform|killers]], or other armored vehicles to destroy them. Twenty seconds after the fort retracts, it is available as a [[Socket Base|base]] location. |
| | |
| Defended by [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, the fort itself is relatively weaker than the UNSC and Covenant bases, especially vulnerable to [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Cyclops|Cyclopes]] and [[Shua'ee-pattern Locust|Locusts]]. However, unlike other bases, the turrets are considered part of the fort itself and cannot be targeted by units, forcing attackers to destroy the fort while under turret fire. Consequently, players may require a larger force to attack a fort. When destroyed, the fort cannot be rebuild, but rewards the player with supply crates and an empty base build site.
