I think you have utterly missed the point.
You're also missing the point that "Fortress World" is a designator thrown out to a lot of planets.
Cadia is a Fortress World. Morlond is a Fortress World.
It does not mean the planet is one giant fortress. It means it's a world that is heavily fortified and constantly garrisoned with Guard regiments.
I don't think you realize that Medrengard IS one giant fortress. It has litterally been tunneled and hollowed out completely. There are nothing but towering monolithic gun spikes all over. There are oceans, there are no mountains as it is no longer a "planet" by any means.
Think, The Rock, but on a larger scale. Much larger. Which, btw, would also qualify as a fortress for the purpose of this thread.
And that doesn't fix the problem of it not being in the Imperium.
Touche.

1) Medrengard is a planet, not a fortress 2) Medrengard is not an Imperial world.
1) Medrengard is described as a "fortress-world" which covers both options. 2) All worlds belong to the Imperium. The Imperial Palace on Terra is nevertheless still the most appropriate answer to the question, however.
*Ahem* 2) All worlds belong to the warp. Still I believe that sanctuary 101 is the best ( lol).

I think it's the fortress Monastery On Prometheus (Nocturnes moon and home to the Salamanders). It's got a HUGE orbital defence cannon that could easily take down a Battle barge in one shot.

If Terra falls under siege, it will transform from a fortress into The Emperors-Emperor Titan, it has guns the size of mountains and can shoot missiles and plasma the size of meteors.
The earth will light ablaze and all life on Terra will die. The Emperor Titan will shoot laser out of its eyes powerful enough to cause exterminatus, and drop nuclear bombs out of its arse, it will eat other titans to fuel its engines and burp melta-fire. Then its feet will turn into rockets and it flies around the universe destroying all in it's path.
Actually, I think you're slightly off. The Palace is just the head, see...
And instead of Lions, it's Aquilas.

Ok so look at it like this. The imperial palace fell. Macragegot pwned.cadia can be bypassed. The fang held out against allmost all of the thousand sons and a primarch with one great company and the aettguard. For me th fang wins hands down. (Btw soz about the spelling I'm on my phone)

The armies facing both Terra and Cadia outclass those on the fang about a 100 times though...

Oh hell no. Macragge is far less fortified than Cadia. Goes more like this: Terra ... ... Cadia ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Macragge. Hell, Fenris is probably above Macragge.

I'd say the Blackstone fortresses. There's one still around Cadia, IIRC. Which is technically "in" the Imperium.
If you're talking about Imperial fortresses, it would have to be the Imperial Palace.
