==Overview==
==Overview==
Outposts are deployed via [[Type-56 Lich|Lich]] dropships. The Banished have perfected their strip-mining and rapid assault and extraction efforts over a decade of raiding [[Covenant]] and other targets. Each outpost is an invasive engine of exploitation, controlled by rapacious overseers who seek to siphon the riches of the Ark in pursuit of Atriox's grand plans for domination and glory. Though they lack the military efficiency of their UNSC counterparts, the Banished's outposts advance plans that extend far beyond the battlefield, and even beyond the Ark itself.<ref>''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - Outpost</ref>

===Minibase===
Banished minibases can be deployed as light forward bases capable of supporting one or two buildings. In [[Strongholds]], Banished minibases are the Stronghold, deploying automatically with a [[Foundry]], [[Raid Camp]] and [[Banished Apex]] attached. Each Banished minibase is the shared command of two fallen [[Jiralhanae]] warlords who have failed [[Atriox]] in some major - but redeemable - way. Each competes to control the majority share of resources sent back to the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]''. When their tally of contributions is totaled by the overseer, only the most competent is allowed to return to Atriox's Chieftain council, while the loser is condemned to serve as a Grunt supervisor. Alongside their building support, minibase outposts store a light armory for equipping infantry.<ref>''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - Minibase</ref>
 
===Stronghold===
Atriox sees little value in simulation training, preferring to blood his warriors in actual combat, viewing pain and fear as better teachers than the sterile realm of simulations and shadow-enemies. However, there are occasions when monitoring and screening are useful in identifying recruits that have the talent needed to lead Banished forces, and what better test for a new Banished lieutenant than a Stronghold on a chaotic front line?<ref>''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - Stronghold (Banished)</ref>
 
Strongholds serve as the primary objective in the [[Strongholds]] gamemode in multiplayer, and can be encountered in the ''Halo Wars 2'' campaign. When constructed in the Strongholds gamemode, the Stronghold will automatically drop a Foundry, Apex and Raid Camp into the base for the player to instantly begin building units.
