The Star Fortress is a massive battle station orbiting the planets Arcann most wanted under his control.
They are powered by Sun Generators capable of venting their excess plasma onto the planet below.
The threat of instant devastation holds the world populations hostage and serves as an effective warning.
In overall command is the Exarch, a biological and cybernetic enhanced Knight of Zakuul.
The computerized support of the station comes from the use of an EPHEMERIS AI system,
which is able to transfer its functions into a droid form.
Despite their potential, these battle stations have very little external defences…
Start:
Lieutenant Marklo/Odessen
Bonus Objectives Rewards (in any mode)

Achievements:
There are a set of achievements for killing the Ephermis droid at the end of every Star Fortress
in solo mode. If you complete all of them, you get a legacy title “Physical Backup Unit”.
Tasks:
The heroic Star Fortress isn’t too different from the solo mode until you get to the Ephermis druid.

Defeating them will allow you to proceed further in with a whole another level to get to the Exarch.
