Snowshear Watchtower

Snowshear Watchtower was a Large Outpost on Esamir, located to the south of the Esamir Northern Warpgate.

Snowshear Watchtower was a three-capture point base with a tower spawn room. The first control terminal was located on the middle floor of the tower itself, the second in the single-story 'V' or 'chevron' shaped building in the southwest, and the third in the two-storied building in the southeast.

The facility's two vehicle terminals were located in the base of the tower, on a small raised walkway protected by waist-height fencing. The two aircraft terminals were atop the tower, opposing eachother on the small balcony ringing the upper spawn room.

An Ammo Dump Tower was located beside the road in the northwest of the facility, just outside of the tower. Four Landing Pads protruded from the upper level of the tower.

Following the calamity that created the Shattered Warpgate, Showshear Watchtower was reconstructed into Snowshear Fort.

Teleporters
The facility featured a typical tower layout for its teleporters, with two teleporters in the upper and lower spawn room leading to a third teleporter located in the base of the tower, underneath the vehicle terminal walkway. The base-level teleporter led back to the upper spawn teleporter.

Phalanx Turrets
The facility was equipped with the standard tower layout of Phalanx Turrets—two Aspis Anti-Aircraft Phalanx Turrets on the top level, and four Spear Anti-Vehicle Phalanx Turrets covering all angles around the mid-level of the tower.

In addition, spaced along the walls to the east, south, and southwest of the facility were four Spear Anti-Vehicle Phalanx Turrets covering the approach from the Andvari region.
