Security stations placed adjacent to the lift in a choke-point fashion or cross-fire orientation may inflict heavy damage quickly on invaders, destroying their morale.<br>
	Using [[Security_Station_(Apocalypse)\|Security Stations]] is vital to limit the invaders chance to explore your base for vunerable personel and prevent damage to [[Facilities_(Apocalypse)\|facilities]] from combat. A single base is limited to using three security stations at any one time. More than three, the active stations are randomly chosen at mission start. As a battlescape mission progresses, a station may be so significantly damaged that the lower section becomes a crater from multiple [[Vortex_Mine\|large explosions]], blocking all [[~~Marsec_Armor~~\|ground movement]] for all units.
