An Octanian Outpost is a structure used by the Cult of the Eightfold Manifestation that was constructed and used by the Octanians during the Tunguska Offensive.
Overview[]
The interior of an Octanian Outpost.
These small buildings serve as temporary habitation to provide shelter and protection for Octanian infantry. Several Octanian Gamma Troopers, along with one or two Octanian Commanders and Octanian Snipers, secure the outpost and guard it from enemy forces.[1]
The outposts are constructed out of an unknown, black metallic-like material. In terms of size, these outposts are quite small and are only large enough to fit several Octanian units at any given time. Various alien machinery and devices can be seen near the perimeter of the outpost, which are believed to provide power with the usage of pipes and power cables. There are also vats or pools containing some kind of radioactive or biohazardous waste product, which is derived from the cyber-parasitic Polyps that the Octanians are infected with.[2] There are also several strange tree-like structures made from large colonies of Polyps that extend outwards from the outpost.

While the outposts themselves have no defensive capabilities, Octanian Shields are placed there to provide cover for Octanian troops. Many outposts have watchtowers for Octanian snipers which grants them with a overall view of their surroundings and a good enough vantage point to eliminate opposing forces.
History[]
Several of these outposts were constructed during the Tunguska Offensive as the enemy began establishing themselves throughout the region of Siberia.[1]
Appearances[]
At least five outposts appear in the level "Siberiade" in a few locations scattered throughout the level. Three of these outposts feature pipe puzzles, which activate hidden mechanisms that each contains a keycard. Three of these keycards are needed for unlocking an Equipment Case that contains a S.A.M. egg, which grants the player 1 skill point.
