I'm looking for a fortification that could act as a central base for intelligence gathered that could be constructed quickly after an Imperial Guard Force has landed on a planet. Does anyone know of anything that could fit the bill?

Thanks

There is fluff of imperial bastions dropped from low orbit when needed...

oh nice, don't suppose you can point me in the direction off that fluff can you?

Not quite that drastic, but this is from Stronghold Assault:

"Aegis Defence Lines are barricades built from crenellated armoured sections that link together into a solid shieldwall. Their simple design means that they can be built and deployed at great speed, lending them the nickname of ‘instant fortresses"

"An Imperial Bastion is an imposing edifice built from foot-thick ferrocrete and the remains of faithful servants of the Imperium. As they are relatively easy to construct, some planets boast networks of Bastions that span entire continents."
