These smaller facilities are much more common compared to the larger [[Watch Fortress]]es. In size, they are typically no larger than a small escort ship, though others are simple [[rockrete ]] bunkers on a lonely mountain. These stations are established in order to watch over specific threats or guard a particular location where some have been in place for centuries where they awaited either a time of prophecy or an auspicious reading of the [[Emperor's Tarot]] or even a defeated enemy's return is expected. Similar to a Watch Fortress, a Watch Station can take many forms, with a great many serving as sentinels in orbit around a planet whilst others are towers that guard over long dead battlefields. Regardless of shape, they each provide facilities for at most a single [[Kill-team]] and the Battle-Brothers stationed at them are rarely left there for any great length of time. This is because of the simple fact that the Deatwatch's resources are too scarce to have all its stations being permanently staffed. However, the simple presence of these facilities allow them to serve as a vital staging point should any threat become apparent and thus they are always stocked with large reserves of arms, equipment and ammunition.{{Fn|1a}}
