→Overview
There are four pairs of [[Attack Craft]] 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 work. Only well known and successful admirals, or [[Inquisitor]]s, are entrusted with a Ramilies, as they can take centuries to build.
It was designed by the hitherto unknown [[Artisan]] Magos [[Lian RamilliesRamilies]] from STC materials captured in the purgation of the 'Stone World' [[Ulthanx]]. Star Forts can be relocated through the [[Warp]] in a projected [[Gellar Field]] 'bubble', and though this is an extremely dangerous operation, each Star Fort, thanks to their heavy armour, supply and repair facilities, and formidable defensive weaponry can strongly increase the operational capacity of Imperial fleets.{{Fn|2}}
