==Background==
The '''Fire Lords''' favored tactic is launching a planetary assault, which begins with incendiary bombardments, and should the defender survive, they only do so to face the [[Thunderfire Cannon]]s and [[Land Raider Redeemer]]s and face bombardment and promethium. Then, [[Tactical Squad]]s will deploy in [[Drop Pod]]s to bring death to the enemies of the [[Imperium]]. <sup>4</sup>
In the wake of the Grissen campaign, Phoros disseminated his new design's schematics. Having always been possessed of a sardonic frame of mind, he named the new pattern 'Prometheus' after a god from Terran legend who brought fire to men. He changed the official designation to Redeemer only upon learning that the name was already taken by a variant developed by the Salamanders. Nonetheless, the original Redeemer still serves in the Fire Lord's Second Company, the name ''Prometheus'' resplendent on its flanks and honored in the Chapter's Histories.<sup>3</sup>
