==Overview==
As part of the [[Prospect]] known by outsiders as the [[Demiurg]], they are often seen alone or fighting with [[Tau]] forces, although some Imperial commander have been known to make use of their mercenary-like services. They are most commonly seen on the eastern rim, though this is still a very rare sight. The Bastion class seems to be more outfitted for asteroid mining rather than processing, so it is likely that there is a trade of goods from one vessel to another though this has never been seen in action. They are heavily automated, which allows for little organic crew.{{Fn|1}}
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.
