Fortress Stations, also known as Ta'shiro in the Tau Language, are floating fortresses in the depths of space operated by the Tau Air Caste. These stations are positioned in the deep space between Septs, and have enough thrust to maintain a permanent position and resist drift. Several patterns of Fortress Stations exist, with the largest being comparable in population to a continent-sized city.

As such, they don't usually find themselves anywhere near a star system cause of gravitational hijinks from its size. Rather, as aforementioned, they are nested in areas where fuel and resources are scarce. Consider it a floating city in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Any stranded boat would find that city to be a literal lifesaver. It is also heavily defended due to its astrological remoteness.
