Imperial Bunker
Imperial Bunkers are a type of Imperial defensive fortification.[1]
Imperial Bunkers are built to protect troops as they defend strategic battlefield locations. These bulwarks can withstand an impressive amount of firepower, but they typically lack automated weapons systems of their own. As such, they must be garrisoned to provide effective defence, yet – as many enemy commanders have learned to their cost – a single fire team protected behind a bunker’s walls can reap a disproportionately heavy toll on approaching forces. Many Imperial Bunkers are built as forward observation posts and are often equipped with extensive vox units and comms arrays. Typically constructed on sites with commanding views, the better to monitor the movement of enemy units, these bunkers are especially valued by frontline Imperial Guard officers who prefer to issue orders, direct artillery strikes and coordinate troop deployments from the relative safety of an armoured fortification.[1]
The exterior walls of Imperial Bunkers are at least a metre thick and made out of reinforced plascrete. The interior walls are made out of flakboard and incorporate doors made out of wood and light steel. Bunkers with windows, most often guard posts, barracks and command centres, have armour-glas panes coverable with thick, retractable blast shields.[2]
