Banished Raid Camp

A Raid Camp attached to an outpost.

The Raid Camp is a structure used by the Banished on their military outposts. They serve as hubs for warrior infantry assigned to the outpost, allowing for a combination of training, briefing, feasting, and pre-raid arming. They serve as a broad equivalent to the Barracks of the United Nations Space Command and the Hall of the Covenant.

Overview

For a given outpost, the Raid Camp serves as the hub of activity for infantry forces, with only warriors permitted access to all areas inside. They serve support functions for infantry deployment, acting as centres for military briefings, orders of battle, feasts, and judgement, with each camp closely following the traditions of a given Jiralhanae clan. During downtime warriors may use the Raid Camp for training (both on one another, or using Unggoy for target practice), and prior to battle they don their weapons and armour there.

Phoenix Log - Raid Camp

Infantry staging area. Troops and their support equipment arrive in the Outpost at the Raid Camp. Where warriors can stoke their bloodlust before battle and thralls are penned while they wait for a mission. The Raid Camp allows the requisition of infantry and unlocks their upgrade options. Multiple Raid Camps in an Outpost reduces infantry requisition time. Raid Camps serve as a combination of briefing room, feasting hall, and place of judgment, and only warriors are allowed full movement within. During battle each one is a riot of activity, with battle roars and the cacophony of Brutes jostling each other while they don battleplate and test the blades of their weapons on the Grunts or each other.
