=== Assistant: So now your fortresses have mini-moons of death. ===
So now your fortresses have mini-moons of death. Solid upgrade 😄

You said:

: 

Let’s unpack that with what we already have:
* Main fortress = 100% power baseline (the original god station).
* Sub-fortress = 75% of main’s power (already insanely strong, mobile).
* Sub-forts can: - Form packs of 10, - Combine into mega-fortresses, etc.

Now each sub-fort (or mega-fort) can create mini-forts:
* Each mini-fort = 10% of a single sub-fortress’s power → So ~7.5% of the main fortress.
* They orbit around their parent fort like a cloud of armed satellites.

I’ll call these little ones “orbital sub-forts” or escorts.

==== Remember: a 75% sub-fort was already packing: ====
* Hundreds of kinetic cannons
* Hundreds of railguns
* Hundreds of lasers
* Hundreds of atomizers
* Hundreds of missile launchers
* Hundreds of black hole cannons

So 10% of a sub-fort is still:
* Dozens of guns
* Dozens of lasers & atomizers
* Dozens of BH cannons & missile tubes

That’s not “tiny.” That’s “small battleship that worships a supergod.”

If a full sub-fort is a roaming annihilation node,
then a 10% mini-fort is like a heavily armed drone-plattform.

Now picture each big fort having a swarm of those in orbit.

==== ### ====

Orbiting 10% forts act as:
* Rotating gun platforms surrounding the main body
* They constantly shift positions, so: - There’s no single “rear” or “blind spot” - Attacks from any direction have to pass through multiple shells of fire

They can:
* Intercept: - Incoming swarm formations, - Long-range bio-projectiles, - Fast dodging elites.

Your parent fortress becomes the core of a moving fortress swarm.

===== Instead of all weapons being in one hull: =====
* Some firepower is in the main/sub-fort,
* Some is distributed across many 10% minis.

Benefits:
* If a mini-fort is damaged or swarmed: - You lose 10% of a sub-fort, not the whole thing.
* They can: - Tank damage, - Trigger BHs or nukes at close range, - Sacrifice themselves if needed.

So the enemy has to chew through rings of smaller fortresses before even touching the big one.

===== Each orbital mini-fort can specialize: =====
* Some bias toward: - Point defense (lasers, fast-tracking guns against small fast targets)
* Some toward: - Missile and mine deployment
* Some toward: - Atomizer/BH cleanup

So your fort cluster can do things like:
* Outer ring: - Mine-layers and long-range missile boats
* Middle ring: - Kinetic & railgun interceptors
* Inner ring: - Atomizer and BH-heavy minis for final deletion of anything that gets too close

It turns the whole structure into a layered, modular murder onion.

==== Recall: ====
* A pack of 10 sub-forts = ~7.5× the main fortress power.
* Now each of those 10 can spawn orbiting mini-forts.

So one pack:
* Has 10 big sub-forts in formation,
* Each surrounded by their own cloud of 10% orbitals (say they each spawn several).

Visually and tactically:
* You don’t just have 10 big fortresses flying together,
* You have: - 10 cores + dozens or hundreds of escort mini-forts around them, - Moving as a coordinated super-fleet/flying city.

This gives you:
* Massive overlapping fields of: - BH fire, - Atomizer sweeps, - Missile waves, - Kinetic and railgun curtains.

Swarm trying to attack a pack now has to:
# Get through outer orbital minis,
# Survive overlapping BH and nuke zones,
# Deal with inner orbitals,
# THEN get to the actual sub-forts.

That’s… not happening easily.

==== Against your nightmare swarm (10³⁰ units, stupid HP, regen, hair-strand replication): ====

These orbiting mini-forts give your side:

===== - Sub-forts and mega-forts become much harder to isolate and crack. =====
* The swarm can’t just: - Focus on one vulnerable angle, - Or snipe the main hull, because there are orbiting guns guarding everything.

===== - More atomizers and BHs in the area = more chances to: - Swallow swarm matter completely, - Erase seeds before they drift away to regrow. =====

Given how dangerous the “hair strand = new monster” rule is, extra cleanup nodes around each fort are huge.

===== Because each fort has its own protective satellites: =====
* Packs can: - Push deeper into swarm-heavy regions, - Risk going into nastier hives, - Still have layered protection and cleanup.

You’re no longer just a few heavy ships pushing into danger;
you’re moving fortress ecosystems of guns and mini-forts.

===== You just gave each of your big fortresses: =====

: 

That turns every sub-fort and pack into not just a ship, but a mobile fortified system, making it even harder for the cosmic swarm to meaningfully hurt them—and way easier for your side to sanitize any region they move into.
