Overview

Large portals were massive fortified entryways built into Castles Brian to allow the speedy passage of Rattler-class mobile structures. These portals, significantly larger than most other Brian entrances, used a modification of the Castle Brian Aerospace Hangar in order to support the multistory door. Even the use of advanced technologies to build these portals couldn't overcome the fact that it requires significant time to open and close. For this reason, heavy weapons were incorporated into the design and gun emplacements stationed within 250 meters for additional support.[1]
