This is one of the remants of the great Irish empire..before the warriors found whiskey...it was found recently on an island named Tir Na Nor. Everyone on Ireland was amazed. Apparently they had completely forgotten the location of both the island and the fortress for the past 2000 years.

Established on one of the main moons of Saturn in the year 2176, the titan fortress is the most distant attempt at colonization mankind has made to date. The large biodomic structure is currently inhabited by over 3 dozen pioneers and may become the standard for future endeavors into the outer reaches of our solar system.

The Year 3600 is the year of war and destruction. As our planet continues to be plundered and damaged by war and greed, scientists have predicted a series of subsequent earthquakes in different parts of the world that will destroy 70% of all life on earth. Furthermore, they have also predicted the superexplosion of the planet.
China, one of the world's superpowers have decided to research and build a galactic fortress which would house its population, in order to ensure the survival of its race.. This is a preliminary design.

In the year 2099 societies have broken allegiances with all countries and bonds have been formed between individuals, separate organizations have been created to maintain the law within their local residences. The largest of these organizations are the titans, their home fort is a massive industrial structure kind of the opposite of our modern day white house if you will. This fortress is home to its members as well as a manufacturing company for mechs, vehicles, weapons and nuclear devices.

The Emperor Titan build a mighty fortress to show off his powers. The world-renowned architect Xiang-Ki was commissioned to build it. But the emperor was not happy as the entrance ended up in a big puddle Xiang-Ki argued he was not responsible to build connecting roads to public highways and that was the corporation’s job lengthy litigations preceded.

Levicorp's main office, built in 2024. This golden skyscraper, measuring 1435 meters and 629 storeys, is commonly known as The Titan tower. After inventing the levidome, a semireality fighting simulator where you can move your body just like in those chinese Kung-fu movies, Levicorp started to make huge profits. After only one year on the market they could afford this monstrous office, with the top 500 floors serving as accomodation for the employees

The initial landfall colony, Outreach, grew so quickly that control measures were made essential. Three years after colonisation, the construction of three titan fortresses began.. the behemoth structures were placed at the triangular extremities of Outreach, key defensive positions in the fight against the ever encroaching white three. The titan fortresses were created with military capability sufficient to repel any invasion thought capable by their enemies, however it was corruption from within that eventually caused these massive black spheres to fall flaming from the skies. During the construction, dissident colonists had placed teleportation lines hidden between the thick exoskeletal layers of the fortresses. Seventeen weeks after construction finished, dissidents began migrating one by one inside. The fortresses, initially constructed as unmanned weapons platforms, now housed increasing numbers of the dissidents daily, hidden from the colony inside their own defense system. During the invasion of the white three, the dissidents turned the defense systems on their own city, hoping to be embraced by the three for aiding in their otherwise unsure victory.
The white three, however, showed no mercy to the dissidents, and slaughtered them inside their titan fortresses, watching as the three pinnacles of human achievement fell in flaming arcs across the night sky.
This is the last photo on record, three days prior to the invasion of the white three... it shows the titan fortress "Zulu" during a routine border scan. At this time, approximately forty-thousand dissidents are approximated to have been inside.

Titan is one of 18 moons to the giant gasplanet Saturn. Which in turn is the sixth planet in from the star "sun" in the "solar system". The Titan Fortress is located on an asteroid circuling in geostationary orbit to titan and is and have excellent facilities for the traveller. The long-since outdated fortress was allegedly built by an ancient race, that called themselves "Man" and is thought to have come from the now long since dead planet "Tellus" the third planet from
the star "Sun". It is the only place worth visiting in the Solar System and an excellent stop on the way for the traveller.

The colonists of Aridzona, driven from their flimsy pre-fab housing by harsh weather and hostile natives, took up residence in the mummified carcass of the ancient Titan. Providing shade, shelter, and a keen view of any aboriginal raiding parties, the fortress enabled the colonists to survive the first of many blazing summers. Scraps of metal strung from the ancient bones spook any of the superstitious natives who venture too close- and the mounted guns deter the rest.

Gate 42 of the titan fortress allowing entry to craft with only the appropriate identification signature.
The "gates" a complex series of above ground outposts provide one of the few visible parts of the titan fortress which expand for a massive distance underground (gate 42 being about 63km from the known center) intelligence reports suggest that it is entirely self sufficent, not just in the realms of sustinance but also concerning research and developement of new technologies, as it is rumored to be in league with the Taima Initiative and various other large corporations. Its suspected to have personel some where between two hundred thousand to ninehundred and fifty thousand, and easily enough equipment to wage a medium size war against almost any opponent.

The Titan fortress lies within the mountain kingdom of Oroth. There are few natural resources so life is tough and conflict has become a way of life; the serenity of the mountains is deceptive. The fortress is elemental, and the path almost impenetrable, guarded by tests of the ancient elements; earth, air, fire and water. As gods the Titans have little need for a defensive fortress; tradition dictates that they grant and audience to all who reach this enclave. Few set out on the trecherous journey, still fewer return.

The shining towers of the Gilded Isle rise above the Golden Gulf like myriad fingers of ladies' lace gloves. For centuries, the Merchant Princes have held this fortified island, the bank-vault of their empire. In the dusty counting rooms, gloomy silence reigns; broken only be the quiet click and clack of the abacus or soft shuffle of dry papyrus promissory notes, liens, leases and litigations. Many a covetous eye has stared from the mainland, plotting larceny. Not a few have attempted the burglary, some even made it on to the sea-swept shores, only a handful breached the walls and none have escaped with their lives, let alone the fortune they sought. Some whisper that even the Pirate Kings fear to try their luck, other say nay, they are in the pocket of the fat merchants, part of the Gilded Isle's defense.

The Titan Fortress, an early space era E.O.W (Earth to Orbit Waypoint) structure built on terraformed Mars 2445. Its most important feature is its massive array of space elevators, allowing it to process up to 990 simultaneous earth to orbit transfers and making it vital for the planets mineral export. The structure is physically locked to a spacestation, constantly ready to distribute everything that comes up the pipe to the galactic trade network. It also houses a large military garrison that patrols the ground based trade routs connected to the fortress.

Titanium X-Arches: Neo-Tokyo has been leading in producing the world's largest megastructures ever since. In 2051, Crystal Intrusanet Corp. invented a new Titanium alloy that lead to creating a new form of high-tech living facilities yet only being available to the upper class who could afford it. The so-called X-Arches are small cities in their own providing enormous living space and a versatility of convenience goods. These Titan fortresses are planned to being established in all the global power-states by the end of 2070.

This is were the Largos, a race of hominid-like warriors, also known as Titans due to their huge physical completion in comparation with other species of the planet. In generall are 3,5 to 4,8 metters tall, weight about between 800 to 3000 Kg. They are fierce warriors and control the faith of the planet by the force of fire and steel. Weaker species use gerrilla techniques to resist the Titans, so the need of heavy garded fortresses.
