Promethium Relay Pipes

Promethium Relay Pipes are used by Imperial industrial complexes across the galaxy to move the potent petrochemical fuel known as promethium from storage and refining facilities to the manufactoria that rely upon it for both power generation and as a key chemical component of their manufacturing processes.

The vast manufactoria found on most industrialised worlds of the Imperium of Man require enormous quantities of power to feed their industrial hearts. Of all the many fuels that supply these relentless complexes across the galaxy, promethium remains the most commonly utilised, often channelled and pumped to its destination via heavily armoured relay pipes. On Adeptus Mechanicus Forge Worlds, networks of these pipes can stretch across continents.

Promethium relay pipes are such a common sight in the 41st Millennium that Imperial weapon-specialists have long since learned how to tap into their release valves and siphon off a fraction of unrefined fuel to intensify the fury of their Flamer weapons. Promethium relay pipes can also serve as effective cover from incoming weapons fire, though sheltering behind pipes filled with highly flammable liquids can sometimes have unfortunate side effects...
