The Type I defensive fort is designed to assist in the defense of planets. Each fort holds one regiment of 1,300 Imperial stormtroopers. The walls protecting the fort are 10 meters high, and the fort can float on its repulsorlifts, or stay on land. The fort is designed to lay down enfilading fire at every point, rendering it nearly impervious to assault. A Gencore I shield generator also assists in the defense of the fort. Each fort can carry on communications and/or supply lines through the use of its Supply depot, comm station and electronics bay.

At other times, when it is not practical to use a shield generator for defense, the ten heavy laser cannon anti-vehicle batteries assist in the defense of the fort. Ten anti-personnel batteries assist in the defense of the fort from infantry as well. 4 AA batteries defend the fort from starfighter and/or combat airspeeder attack.

10 days. Each fort costs 100,000 credits.
