	Star-forts are mobile battle fortresses that are a force to be reckoned with, even when faced alone. The Ramilies Class Star-forts are one such class of gigantic semi-mobile space stations capable of moving through warp space. This class of star-fort exists in scant supply and are vital to the Imperial Navy as forward fleet bases, each one is capable of shortening campaigns by decades through its deployment.

	The Ramilies is so large that it does not have conventional drives, and has to be towed through the warp by other vessels to relocate it. Each quadrant of the fort has masses of powerful [[Macrocannon\|weapons batteries]] and [[lance]]s, and the central basilica houses many [[torpedo]] silos providing powerful salvos to offer extra support to each quadrant.

	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 Inquisitors, are entrusted with a Ramilies, as they can take centuries to build.		There are four pairs of Attack Craft launch bays, one for each quadrant.
