Grey Knight Strike Cruiser

## Grey Knight Strike Cruiser Analysis

Ever since the GK’s Strike Cruiser was captured by Atlantean forces, Selica has been awaiting clearance from Octavia to investigate its innards and learn of its advanced construction, as its obvious even from a cursory inspection that the vessel possesses technology beyond most normal Space Marine chapters. Now that the Grey Knights have had their prison complex built and are “safely” stowed away, Octavia has given the all-clear to dismantling the vessel to learn of its secrets. While Marwyn and other psykers will be onsite to assist in recording any psyker knowledge, Selica was warned by Marwyn that such an ancient ship with very potent runes and sigils might be very hard to truly comprehend; the only thing that might be acquired from the analysis might be the ship’s conventional design. Still, having an advanced Space Marine Strike Cruiser template would be quite handy.

### Completed

The Strike Cruiser is remarkably well built and advanced by imperial standards, its gellar fields are unlike any seen before and their cogitation systems are state of the art. They even have some form of nanoforges onboard but are fairly larger than yours. The technologies obtained are so vast they require a detailed report but suffice to say you now have the knowledge necessary to build your own grand cruisers but you lack the capacity for it

### Rewards

GK Strike Cruiser design available.

## Grey Knight Strike Cruiser Analysis (Psykana)

Ever since the GK’s Strike Cruiser was captured by Atlantean forces, Selica has been awaiting clearance from Octavia to investigate its innards and learn of its advanced construction, as its obvious even from a cursory inspection that the vessel possesses technology beyond most normal Space Marine chapters. Now that the Grey Knights have had their prison complex built and are “safely” stowed away, her sister has given the all-clear to dismantling the vessel to learn of its secrets. While Marwyn and other psykers will be onsite to assist in recording any psyker knowledge, Selica was warned by Marwyn that such an ancient ship with very potent runes and sigils might be very hard to truly comprehend; the only thing that might be acquired from the analysis might be the ship’s conventional design. Still, having a Space Marine Strike Cruiser template would be quite handy.

### Completed

Psyker Analysis has revealed that most of the ship is clear of any sign of chaotic taint. Most, because according to them, the quarters of the grey knight captain is wholly infested with warpish corruption and signs of debased rituals. However strangely the taint did not spread beyond the precise confines of the room, despite the long time it remained there and extensive mind probing into every single one who worked on the ship or even stepped in, has revealed no sign of any subliminal corruption. Usually this would be a miracle but your psykers are distressed, for they have never encountered such a thing before. Nevertheless the ships mechanisms and vital components were declared clean and could be interacted with safely. The captains quarters however were purged with fire and nothing in them was allowed outside before the purge.

In less disturbing notes, they have also learned more protective strategies and spells that can be used to make your own ships safer to use.

## Grey Knight Strike Cruiser Technology Report

Sister,

This ship is far beyond what I thought was possible from humanity’s current technological level and even our golden age friends are utterly baffled by some of its inner workings. While I can’t deny there is a certain pleasure in studying this marvel of engineering piece by piece , this is also worrying as it suggests the imperium has access to technologies far beyond what we previously thought it possessed (and indeed beyond what we currently possess ). While Talios and Malegear are positive that this technology isn’t likely to become widespread in the imperium this serves as a warning not to underestimate our foes, no matter how outmatched they might seem sometimes. Anyways the following reports includes what me and the research teams managed to gleam from this vessel :

* **Esoteric ship power source**: The Grand Cruiser isn’t powered by plasma reactors as other imperial ships. Rather it appears that they make use of what the golden age scientists refer to as a “kugelblitz” blackhole which appears to be created and maintained using psychic abilities though the exact mechanisms behind it remain a mystery. (New ship power source research unlocked)

* **Improved Gellar field designs :** Likewise the ships’ gellar field is not only less energy expensive than any other known but appears to not only repel daemonic presscence but can theoretically make the entire ship invisible to warp predators. (Gellar field upgrade action unlocked)

* **Self repairing materials :** The ships’ Hull is made of a material that greatly resembles the psysteel samples we obtained earlier albeit more advanced, this substance being capable of self repairing any damage to its structures and can even be reshaped by a skilled enough psyker. (Greysteel research unlocked)

* **Advanced ship grade weapons :** From Psycannons , advanced ubergrade lascannons to even massive plasma and graviton blasters , this ship has a formidable arsenal of advanced offensive and defensive weapons. (Ship weapons system research unlocked)

* **Xeno-flora life support supplement :** Finally the ship’s life support systems appear to be aided by some sort of white algae like plants that act as low maintenance water and air purifiers while also providing a rich food nutritious source (only requiring light and water to survive). (Biologis action unlocked)
