Every one of these must be met before Ion Cannon can be ordered.
How each race builds it
The four races share the same defense rules but not the same hardware — each one names and renders it differently, and applies its own combat multipliers from its race profile.
Terran Ion Cannon
A conventional defense node designed for dependable layered protection.
Prism Ion Cannon
Defense architecture built to bend incoming fire into layered shield fields.
Carapace Ion Cannon
Static defense bioform grown to absorb punishment and punish close approaches.
