'''Firestorm Redoubts''' are a type of [[Imperial]] fortification. {{Fn|1}} Individual Firestorm Redoubts are primarily constructed to protect strategically important objectives from aerial attack and to provide a base for a garrison of troops. With its fully automated batteries of quad Icarus [[lascannon]]s, any objective protected by a Firestorm Redoubt will not fall to a sudden aerial bombardment, and can hold out against a sustained assault until reinforcements arrive, while providing shelter for any infantry deployed to protect them against ground-based sorties. The Firestorm Redoubt combines devastatingly effective armaments with a sturdy bunker complex. Whilst typically equipped to provide anti-aircraft support, some instead sport a range of [[Punisher Gatling Cannon|heavy gatling guns]] and [[battle cannon]]s to guard against more typical attacks. In either case, Firestorm Redoubts are usually constructed at regular intervals along [[Wall of Martyrs]] Imperial Defence Lines, providing an interlinking curtain of firepower that is next to impossible for enemy forces to get past.{{Fn|1}}
