Station

A Station (a.k.a. command center) is an encampment set up by Marines in combat zones or other locations that are otherwise hostile.

The Station appears as a buildable structure in Halo Wars, costing 500 supply and can be upgraded to a fortress. In previous builds, it was referred to as a firebase. It appears that only one expansion can be built at a time.

Overview
The Station combines the needs of a tactical communications command center and expansion into both a barracks and a production facility capable of assembling combat vehicles. The Station itself is a variant of the old colony starter units constructed out of polycrete and powered by a small hydrogen reactor. Because gaining a foothold quickly was key to fighting insurrections throughout the colonies, ships can directly deploy the entire assembly unit of a Station, making it immediately useful. This ability proved invaluable in the ongoing war with the Covenant and was often considered a key advantage of the UNSC on the ground.

In addition, Stations are capable of producing unarmed Warthogs, their lack of armament giving them extra speed.
