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.
