Hub-Fortresses are a new type of planetary and orbital classification of the Imperium.[1]
Introduced by Roboute Guilliman for the Indomitus Crusade via the Borachae Decree, Hub-Fortresses are used as bases for the Officio Logisticarum to support the ever-expanding Crusade. Once a Crusade Fleet passed through an area, it would often establish Hub-Fortresses in its wake. Many Hub-Fortresses are converted Fortress Worlds. As Hub-Fortresses are established by Fleet Groupmasters of the Indomitus Crusade, they vary greatly in size and makeup depending upon local context and requirements.[1]
