- How is a POS built?
You buy Control Tower from NPCs in empire along with other components and POS fuel of course. You haul everything, anchor, fuel, put online. The tower consumes some amount of fule each day. POS typically have a ship array to store ships and refit them, a hangar array that only your corp has accesss to, some guns and e-war modules for self-defense. You can also refire ore and build things at a POS.
- What types of POS are there?
Each race has a small, medium, and large POS. They all differ from one another in some aspects but also in what type of isotopes they consume. Ice in Minmatar space for example produces only hydrogen isotopes. So if you want to anchor a POS in minmatar space and mine ice for your fuel, better purchase a minmatar tower. Medium towers of course consume more fuel than small ones, and large consume the most. But they also provide the most grid so that you're able to anchor and online more things simultaneously at a large POS.
- What is the definition of sovereignty?
- How do POSes help claim sovereignty over a Region/Constellation/System?
- Can two alliances at war set up POSes in the same Region/System?

- Who owns the POS - the corp or the alliance that set them up?
corp
- What is the difference between a POS and a starbase? Are starbases owned by alliances?
POS is pretty much a fueled control tower that has a forcefield around it. Starbase is a station that you can actually dock to. Some starbases in 0.0 are NPC-owned (example: Stain region is controlled by Sansha). Conquerable outposts (non-NPS onse) are owned by player alliances. A conquerable outpost belongs to whoever holds sovereingty of the system. Sovereingty can only be claimed by an alliance, not corp or single player. Outposts also cost much more to construct. I think one costs about 40 bil while a small POS would cost you 150-200 mil without fuel.
- What are the defence systems available to POSes and starbases?
You can anchor and online guns, launchers, and e-war modules at a POS. They need an onlined control tower to work. Starbases you pretty much have to defend with your alliance. You'd be defending not so much the outpost itself, but the POS you have in the system. Enemy alliance will try to destroy them and erect its own to claim sov over the system so that the outpost ownership changes hands.
- How do standings affect PvP warfare?
You most definitly shoot things that are set red to you when you can and don't shoot players market with blue plus signs. Whether or not you can shoot neutral pilots depends on your corp/alliance policy. Some alliances are NBSI (not blue shoot it), which allows you to shoot neutral pilots anywhere. This is pretty much a fancy word for piracy, although some people do not agree. They justify NBSI by saying that they have to protect their space but you'd commonly see them NBSIing way way out of their space as well.
