The Sensor Tower is a Banished structure that can be employed in the defense of their Banished outposts, akin to the Watchtowers of the United Nations Space Command.[1][2]

Overview[edit]

Sensor Towers occupy a turret slot at the corner of a Banished outpost. The Banished uses the Sensor Tower and its network to assess the local battlefield and detect nearby cloaked units.[1] The specifics of the technologies used on a Sensor Tower vary from outpost to outpost, and are chosen at the discretion of the base's overseer.[2]

The Sensor Tower is the physical embodiment of Atriox's watchful presence in every Outpost. It is through the Sensor Tower that the Banished assess the local battlefield and detect nearby cloaked units.

Atriox's agents are ever-alert for schism and disloyalty, and his chosen keep watch on the Banished battlenet for discordant voices, but it is through the sensor tower network that the Banished maintain hyper-awareness of the battlefield.
