Well these third towers you posted Xav I know for a fact are called Slig tosses.

I dunno I think it would literally be called a Slig Toss by the industrialist.

Like I said its only a far fetched theory so there we go.

Like Esus said, there's no logic behind them being called Slig Tosses. I doubt they're called just Guard Towers, since that sounds more like a description, and there are already constructions vaguely refered to as Guard Towers in the Stockyards and the Slig Barracks. There's probably a more precise term for this exact variety of building, and it would be useful to know, but not necessary.
PA, Sligs are born as larvae and are 'raised' in a Slig Birthing Complex before they're fitted with machinery, or possibly this is where they're fitted with machinery while they grow. I wouldn't put it beyond the Glukkons to speed up growth with hormones, though. However, I do like how you describe Sligs. Alf or Crig once compared Sligs' lives for those of butterflies - short and generally pointless, ending as soon as their purpose is finished.
However, more prolific, even celebrated Sligs, such as Crig, the Valet Slig and the Newscaster, would probably be more respected by the Industrial society.
