Modular Fortresses

Fortress
EXTREMELY large, powerful, and expensive defensive structure. Mounts 4 Large and 8 Small modules that can be unlocked.
Note that there are significant differences between the 4 types of Modular Fortresses, including which modules they can mount.
Modular Fortress (Human): The only Modular Fort unlocked with Knowledge, can mount most types of modules but the more exotic modules will not fit. Also repairs nearby units.
Neinzul Modular Fortress: A possible reward for completing an Ancient Shadows Nebula, this unit mounts can mount organic Neinzul type modules. This unit also cloaks and can grant cloaking to nearby ships the same as the Cloaker Starship.
Spire Modular Fortress: A possible reward for completing an Ancient Shadows Nebula, this unit mounts can mount the heavy Spire modules. Also mounts an extremely powerful Spire Beam main weapon.
Zenith Modular Fortress: A possible reward for completing an Ancient Shadows Nebula, this unit mounts can mount the Zenith beam modules. Also mounts an extremely powerful Energy Wave main weapon.
Also see Fortress, Mini-Fortress, and SuperFortress.

Fortress Modules

Note that the Human Modular Fortress and the six basic modules are unlocked via Knowledge.
The other 3 types of forts, and the advanced modules, are unlocked by progressing the Ancient Shadows Campaign.
The higher marks of the six basic modules are unlocked by researching the corresponding structure.
Shield Module -> Force Field
Needler Module -> Needler Turret
Laser Cannon Module -> Laser Turret
Missile Module -> Missile Turret
MLRS Module -> MLRS Turret
Heavy Beam Module -> Heavy Beam Turret (Note that unlike the other five, the Mk. I Heavy Beam Module is not already unlocked.)
These unlocks are for the Modular Fortresses only. To mount the Laser Cannon Module Mk. II on your Champion requires unlocking it via Champion Points.

Large Modules

Module Description Human Zenith Spire Neinzul
Shield Module Shield Module A massive modular shield generator for use on a fortress that can protect nearby units.
Bomber Bay Module Bomber Bay Module An integrated production and launching facility for very-short-lived bomber drones.
Heat Beam Module Heat Beam Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Zenith Heat Beam. Hits up to 9 targets on a line, each with the full power of the beam.
Heavy Beam Cannon Module Heavy Beam Cannon Module A massive fortress-mounted variant of the human Heavy Beam Cannon turret.
Interceptor Bay Module Interceptor Bay Module An integrated production and launching facility for very-short-lived interceptor drones.
Plasma Siege Cannon Module Plasma Siege Cannon Module A modular weapon that fires enormous bolts of condensed plasma at large and/or immobile targets. When the bolt explodes, it also damages several nearby units for reduced damage. If it hits a forcefield, it will also damage up to 25 units protected by that forcefield (or forcefields near that forcefield) with 6.25% of the damage done to the forcefield.
Photon Lance Module Photon Lance Module A modular version of the weapon preferred by many Spire capital ships and fortifications. Fires a coherent beam of light for two seconds that strikes all enemy units in its path. Cannot be re-aimed during firing, so moving targets often escape the full force of the beam. Targets that fail to evade suffer tremendous damage.
Rail Cluster Module Rail Cluster Module A modular array of rail-cannons. More powerful than standard human sniper railguns, but without the infinite range.
Slicer Bay Module Slicer Bay Module An integrated production and launching facility for very-short-lived slicer drones.

Small Modules

Module Description Human Zenith Spire Neinzul
Acid Jet Module Acid Jet Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Zenith Acid Sprayer's weapon. Low base damage, but extremely effective against exotic-material hulls.
Doom Accelerator Module Doom Accelerator Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Neinzul Youngling Vulture's weapon. Its damage increases against targets that have already taken damage. Against a target with 90% or higher health it does 10*base damage. Against more heavily damaged targets the damage keeps going up until the maximum of 90*base damage against targets with 10% or lower health.
Flak Module Flak Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Flak Turret. Very effective against many lighter hull-types.
Impulse Reaction Module Impulse Reaction Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Impulse Reaction Emitter's weapon. Low base damage, but extremely effective against targets with high energy use.
Insanity Inducer Module Insanity Inducer Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Botnet Golem's weapon. Low rate of fire, and totally ineffective against units immune to reclamation, but instantly overrides the target's programming so that it attacks your enemies instead
Laser Cannon Module Laser Cannon Module A massive high-power battery of laser cannons that can be mounted on a fortress.
Missile Module Missile Module A massive long-range missile launcher that can be mounted on a fortress.
MLRS Module MLRS Module A massive Multiple Launch Rocket System that can be mounted on a fortress.
Nanosubverter Module Nanosubverter Module A modular weapon that does reclamation damage.
Needler Module Needler Module A massive rapid-firing bank of Needlers that can be mounted on a fortress.
Paralyzer Module Paralyzer Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Zenith Paralyzer's weapon. Incapacitates targets for several seconds.
Polarizer Module Polarizer Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Zenith Polarizer's weapon. Low base damage, but extremely effective against targets with lots of armor.
Rail Cannon Module Rail Cannon Module A modular rail-cannon. More powerful than the weapons found on standard human sniper units, but without the infinite range.
Translocator Module Translocator Module A fortress-mounted variant of the Translocator's weapon. Lacks damage bonuses against specific hulls, but warps targets to a different location. Some targets (generally large ones) are immune to translocation.
