 The existence of the Rampart fortress can only be understood in the context of a nation that was in the fourth of a series of costly wars, and increasingly coming to terms with the fact that with modern weaponry a single strike could render Elysia without the vital production plants and ship manufacturing facilities at Veritas. In order to deal with this problem, as well as adding further productive power to the empire in an attempt to swing the tide of war the Rampart stations were designed at built - building in a highly pragmatic style. A product of necessity the station was not designed to leave the atmosphere of the planets it protected, or indeed to travel at speeds even approaching the speed of light - leaving such technology out the room and resources were instead invested into production facilities as well as a formidable array of offensive and defensive systems. The existence of the Rampart fortress can only be understood in the context of a nation that was in the fourth of a series of costly wars, and increasingly coming to terms with the fact that with modern weaponry a single strike could render Elysia without the vital production plants and ship manufacturing facilities at Veritas.

-After the Fourth war, in the period of Yamatian domination, the stations fell largely into disuse - maintained at basic running order and inhabited by civilians, but of little overall importance. However with the coming of independence the Rampart fortresses were again relevant - Elysia being as apparently defenceless as it was the empire was willing to latch onto the relics of the past - especially since these relics had teeth and tactical value. As such they began to restore, and indeed surpass, the original glory of the Rampart - although it is still a product of its times and by no means cutting edge.+After the Fourth war, in the period of Yamataian domination, the stations fell largely into disuse - maintained at basic running order and inhabited by civilians, but of little overall importance.
