Resupply depots

The resupply depot houses all the goods, tools and accessories that are necessary for the running of a military base. It is used by both the military, civilians and colonists.
A resupply depot is a station that functions as a storage installation. They can also act as outposts for crafts and ships to refuel.
== Overview ==
Resupply depots are a type of installation used by the military to store battlefield supplies temporarily on or near the front lines until they can be distributed to military units. Resupply depots are responsible for nearly all other types of materiel, except ammunition. Ammunition storage goes into the more specific ammunition dump. 
Resupply depots are usually run by a logistics officer who is responsible for allocating supplies as necessary to units who request them.
Due to their vulnerability, resupply depots are often the targets of enemy raids. In more modern times, depots have been targeted by long range attacks such as artillery and missiles, and bomber aircraft, due to the advantage that disrupted logistics can give to a belligerent force.
== Usage ==
The resupply Depot is designed for the purpose of providing supplies and in certain cases as defensive forward structures. Resupply Depots are also used for strategic purposes, typically for walling. Resupply Depots can be lowered to allow passage over them. This is useful when letting units in and out of walls and for making movement around a base easier when large amounts of depots have been constructed.
Another use for them is to be placed near other buildings to create obstructions that enemy units must fight through around, giving time to out maneuver them. 
== Design ==
Resupply depots are standard for military bases and possess a universal design. The design is that of a low, one-story, metal-clad structure, a spacious waiting area and a counter separating said area from the storage racks on the other side. Such storage includes weapons, ammunition and even small crafts.
On hotter deployments, the resupply depot's supercharged ventilation systems makes it a popular spot to drink and relax.
== Variations ==
Through research of logistics the dalmer were able to develop orbital depots, resupply depots capable of being dropped from a resupply satellite or high altitude ship and surviving entry through the atmosphere to a point designated by a beacon.
