I think that the essential issue here has to do with what a person calls a 'star fort' versus a 'fortified city'
versus a 'star fort city' versus a 'star city'. These are very different things and should be looked at separately, instead of being lumped together under 'star fort'.
A few years ago when I heard about star forts and Tartary I did some research into military fortifications. I learned about the introduction of cannons and how the fort shapes changed after the 15th century to accommodate the change in warfare. The forts started including 'bastions' which are the pointy arrow-shaped protrusions that are seen as the points of a star. (They probably learned the idea from previously existing star cities that were converted to military use.) These bastions were supposedly introduced by the Italians (Romans) and spread around the world.
Here are some examples of the bastion style star fort. Obviously just a military location. But a ton of people see the points and wrongly say "It's a Tartarian star fort!"

Here are some fortified cities with bastions. They may be all pointy like stars, but they are not beautifully symetrical like a star city is.

Then there are star fort cities. These are the beautiful, symmetrical star cities that were converted into military installations. These are a little small to have held cathedrals before becoming a fort, perhaps they had towers and the larger cathedral was nearby.. When you look at wider shots from above you can see remnants of bigger stars, sometimes going out miles.
These first three are all of Parmanova. you can see the old tower in the hand drawn image. And the flagpole in the center now (after the tower got destroyed) has a lovely gold ball on the top and a six sided base that matches the six-sided layout of the city center plaza. The star part of the city is nine-sided. And there are three gates. So this would be a ratio of 2:3 for the star city with a tower in the middle instead of a temple.

Then there are the star cities that still have the temple or cathedral in the center. I believe there is a correspondence between the number of points on the star city design and the layout of the rose window of the cathedral. Or with the internal and external layout of the temple.

I think Hamburg may have been a star city, but went through a lot of flooding and rebuilding. It has a church in the right location, and some streets have weirdly angled corners.

Here's a modern version of the idea, for obviously religious reasons. This temple has a correspondence of 2:1, with 10 points on the surrounding star and 5 points on the temple.

So, as you see, not every pointy fort or city is Tartarian antiquitech. But there are plenty of questionable elaborate and symmetrical star shaped cities that could have been used for energy concentration and transmission. And plenty of cathedrals that could have been used the same way.
There's a great thread by Frostychud regarding temples as radio transmitters. It has gone a very interesting direction with plasmoid orbs and their energy being involved.
Temples and Churches as Radio Frequency Receivers
Great post Starfire. Really good info I think. I just was struck by picture number two, the one with the us flag. And whichever type of structure it is, that's just not a military design. I think the small scale shows that, yet it's the same design as much larger examples. Just struck me. That's something else that someone set up camp in.
I've been to this one, Halifax nova Scotia, it's massive
