= Stars =
- boxes, huge and brown in colour
- floats in "midair", mobile
- can be used for softlanding, firecover, and helps in blocking the enemy's view
- three-dimensional positioning i.e. consists of position x, y & z
= Formation =
- the number of stars are deployed in random, but there were occasions where no stars were deployed
- deployment of the stars are generated randomly, however any army can change the positions of the stars to their favor if they have sufficient time
- since it's null-G in the Battleroom, the stars can be placed in fixed positions, and can be sticked together without the aid of any adhesive-natured material, thus building "walls" are possible
= References of star formations deployed in certain battle scenes in Ender's Game =
Legend :
- Red/Blue Lines - Army Gates
- Brown Boxes - Stars
1st battle, Salamander (Blue) vs. Leopard (Red)
- deployment and quantity generated randomly
Quote : "Huge brown boxes were suspended in midair, partially obstructing the view. So these were the obstacles that the soldiers called stars."
2nd battle, Rat (Blue) vs. Centipede (Red)
- deployment and quantity generated randomly
Quote : "...under cover of stars quickly..."
3rd battle, Dragon (Blue) vs. Rabbit (Red)
- 7-8 stars, scattered
Quote : "... with the seven or eight stars scattered through the grid."
4th battle, Dragon (Blue) vs. Badger (Red)
- deployment and quantity generated randomly
Quote : "...with the battleroom so filled with a labyrinth of stars..."
5th battle, Dragon (Blue) vs. Griffin & Tiger (Red)
- four stacked to form a wall in front of the Dragon gate to block their vision (assuming they are placed to stick together, since Dragon has to route from the side to take a peek on the enemy positions), and eight on Griffin & Tiger to form a fortress-like defence outside their gates.
Quote : "Only three meters out there were four stars together, completely blocking the view from the door." "They've got eight stars making a square around their door."
