An Infernum Halo-launcher mounted upon a Stormhawk Interceptor, the launcher faces the rear of the craft

An Infernum Halo-launcher is a type of flare discharger that is installed dorsally on the Stormhawk Interceptor for defensive anti-air countermeasures. The flares are fired to attract or confuse enemy missiles and other anti-aircraft weaponry and keep them from hitting the craft. The flares fired by the launcher resemble golden "halos" and are a distinctive visual trait of the Stormhawk, announcing their presence as a symbol to both the enemy and other Imperial forces that the skies belong to the Emperor of Mankind.
