Ramilies
From Lexicanum
The Ramilies class starfort is of ancient construction, made from STC data, it has been in use since the Great Crusade and still forms a vital lynch pin in Imperial strategy.
The Ramilies is so large that it does not have conventional drives, and has to be towed through the warp by other vessels to relocate it. Each quadrant of the fort has masses of powerful weapons batteries and lances, and the central basilica houses many torpedo silos providing powerful salvoes to provide extra support to each quadrant.
There are four pairs of launch bays, one for each quadrant. They facilitate docking points to anything up to cruiser size to resupply and repair, even amidst the heat of battle; as Ramilies tend to only be deployed in massive engagements. So there is enough fire-power from the fort and other ships to ensure the repair crews are not disturbed during repair work. Only well known and successful admirals, or Inquisitors are allowed entrusted with a Ramilies, as they can take centuries to build.
It was designed by the hitherto unknown Artisan Magos Lian Ramillies from STC materials captured in the purgation of the 'Stone World' Ulthanx.
