Cathedral ships

Colloquial nickname for the vessels 'true hemophages' took to the stars in, abandoning Earth with herds of captive humans as a food source.
Each cathedral ship was a massive undertaking and is practically a duchy or kingdom in its own right. Most are quite byzantine and ornate in appearance; according to records, only twenty of them launched from Earth on the Day of Kindred Departure, 24th of August 4313AD. Many dozens have since been encountered, suggesting some deep-space vampire league exists somewhere building more, or that more are being built as the 'kingdoms' within the branch off.
Nothing good lurks in them these days.
