Towers

A Tower

Towers are massive, technologically advanced structures that appear in Armored Core: Verdict Day. There are a total of 7 towers with a height of 20km each. They also seem to contain large amounts of unmanned weaponry.

Information

Towers are so massive that their interiors have not been fully mapped. There are numerous Towers dotted across the globe and all contain large amounts of ancient technology (from the 4-FA era, presumably) as well as other supplies. When they were first discovered, the towers emitted large amounts of Kojima particles, although this seems to have subsided by the time of Armored Core: Verdict Day.

Most of the weapons housed in the Towers seem to be automated drones (Ammons, Oothecas, Scavengers, L.L.L.s, etc.), although there are also technologies related to the NEXTs of AC4/FA. The automated nature of the weaponry is suggested by the statement of the Foundation's Leader: that once the N-WGIX is destroyed, the out-of-control automatic weapons housed inside the Towers will destroy the humans.

VoW Archive 09: Towers

Massive structures existing since the last Last Age in scattered locations across the globe. Due to their overwhelming size, investigations of the Towers remain incomplete, with their intended function remaining a mystery. Inside, the structures contain technology far exceeding contemporary scientific knowledge, as well as facilities to produce more. Each of the Three Forces hold a number of these Towers, which are the source and sustaining force of their influence. Photo credit: VoW

Trivia

• They seem to be what the League of Ruling Companies used to go to space, after the ORCA ending. Note the large central thruster, as well as the auxiliary thrusters at the top, combined with the statement "Despairing, they sealed themselves within colossal buildings, and departed for the cosmos", it is heavily implied the Towers were used to run away to space, and the ones we see are ones that failed to lift off.
