[[Image:Demiurg Bastion Class Vessel.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A Demiurg ''Bastion Class Commerce Vessel'']]
Some [[Rogue Traders]] tell that a Bastion class is home to a 'brotherhood' while a [[Stronghold Class Commerce Vessel|Stronghold]] is home to two or three brotherhoods. What the relationship between groups is is unknown. Often however two or three Bastions will group together to protect a Stronghold.
They have impressive lance and weapons batteries, especially when up close, and also have the ability to launch mining probes and attack craft at short range. It also uses a scoop to collect stellar gasses which it projects through the core of the ship for propulsion and for energy to power the cutting beam it uses to open asteroids or enemy ships.
==Notes==
The {{PAGENAME}} was originally classified as a [[Demiurg]] vessel, but was later retconned (along with the Demiurg themselves) as belonging to the [[Leagues of Votann]].{{Fn|2}}
