Planets can support one of each type of structure. They cost [[PlanetWars economy#Metal|metal]] to build. Anyone can build a structure on any faction-held planet. The output of that structure, if any, is added to your resource [[PlanetWars faction roles#Quota|quota]]. Once built it requires a few turns to become active. Larger, more expensive structures take longer to power up.
 
  
All structures, except energy producers and the basic wormhole, require [[PlanetWars economy#Energy|energy]] to function. They will shut down and become non-functional if there is insufficient energy. [[PlanetWars faction roles#Quota|Economic leaders]] can set energy priorities for each structure to control which structures are kept running during a brownout.

Structures are disabled when destroyed ingame or if a successful invasion occurs on their planet. A structure disabled by an attack or power loss requires a few turns to reactivate. This time is twice as long as their initial activation time.

=== Special ===
 
These  structures cannot be built, and keeping them under strict control is extremely important if you want to achieve galactic domination.
 
* ''Faction Headquarters'' is a unique, irreplaceable structure existing on a faction's homeworld. It grants massive defensive bonuses, prevents warp or influence projection, and cannot be disabled. Capturing a planet with an enemy faction's Headquarters wins the game for the conqueror.
 
* ''Ancient Artifacts'' are special structures that exist on some planets. Each artifact can be activated to produce one Victory Point per galactic turn. The first faction to reach 100 Victory Points wins.
