Each planet/Region in Warframe has two different locations where a Solar Rail can be placed. These are part of the Dark Sectors portion of the game, where clans wage war against one another for control of the region. Placing a Rail allows your clan to tax other players that use your node, which allows you to build your dojo and the research available to your clan. The more Rails you control, the more powerful (and desirable for recruits) your clan becomes. Other clans can challenge your control, leading to an Invasion-like multiplayer match where one clan tries to push into and destroy the other's Relay. Players can choose to fight for either clan, and this can be influenced by the history of either clan (if one clan charged high taxes, players will more likely want to see it gone), as well as payout offers (a set portion is offered from a refillable pool, which can entice players to fight for you (essentially turning them into mercenaries).

These create a constantly fluctuating struggle for power, and it's a shame that nothing like this made it to Destiny.
