Imperial Fists - Chapter Fleet: The space fleets and warships of the Imperial Fists were the greatest of the age. While the Phalanx may be the greatest warship ever built, there were other warships, both great and small, whose renown reaches down through the annals of history even to this day. The Imperial Fists' Chapter fleet includes the Gothic-class Cruiser Imperial Power, as well as Cobra-class Destroyers which are used as Escorts. At least three Imperial Fists Strike Cruisers took part in the attack on the Chaos forces located at the Peleon's Belt Heretic anchorage.Known Imperial Fists vessels within the Chapter fleet include:Phalanx (Mobile Fortress-Monastery) - The flagship and mobile fortress-monastery of the Imperial Fists, the Phalanx is like no other warship in the Imperium and has waged war across the galaxy for more than ten thousand standard years, being itself an artefact of the Dark Age of Technology.Hammer of Terra (Battle Barge) - The Hammer of Terra was destroyed in combat during the opening days of the Horus Heresy at the Battle of Phall.Spear of Vengeance (Battle Barge) - One of the oldest and most venerable Battle Barges within the Imperium which dates back to the glory years of the Great Crusade.Storm of Wrath (Battle Barge) - One of the oldest and most venerable Battle Barges within the Imperium which dated back to the glory years of the Great Crusade.Sword of Terra (Battle Barge) - Destroyed by the fleet of the Iron Warriors Traitor Legion around the world of Phall during the Horus Heresy.Tribune (Victory-class Battle Barge) - Temporary flagship of Captain Alexis Polux of the Imperial Fists Retribution Fleet, it was destroyed during the opening days of the Horus Heresy at the Battle of Phall.Sulla (Grand Cruiser) - Destroyed during the opening days of the Horus Heresy at the Battle of Phall.Lachrymae (Thunderbolt-class Heavy Frigate) - One of three honoured vessels that made up a trio of augmented Thunderbolt-class Heavy Frigates known as the Three Sisters of Justice, that were created by the will of Roboute Guilliman of the Ultramarines Legion as a gift to Rogal Dorn and his Legion. These vessels were black hulled and gold-prowed, and were said to have cut the void like daggers. Built for speed, they were intended to deliver a large payload of torpedoes to an enemy ship or fleet and outrun any guns which might answer, but they also proved particularly adept at hunting down fleeing foes. The ship masters of the Imperial Fists put these qualities of the Three Sisters to such consistent use that they were popularly renamed the Three Sisters of Spite by the auxiliary mortal forces who fought beside them.Ophelia (Thunderbolt-class Heavy Frigate) - One of three honoured vessels that made up a trio of augmented Thunderbolt-class Heavy Frigates known as the Three Sisters of Justice, they were created by the will of Roboute Guilliman of the Ultramarines Legion as a gift to Rogal Dorn and his Legion.Persephone (Thunderbolt-class Heavy Frigate) - One of three honoured vessels that made up a trio of augmented Thunderbolt-class Heavy Frigates known as the Three Sisters of Justice, they were created by the will of Roboute Guilliman of the Ultramarines Legion as a gift to Rogal Dorn and his Legion.Capulus (Strike Cruiser) - The Strike Cruiser assigned to Captain Taelos and the 10th Company during its most recent recruitment mission.Halcyon (Strike Cruisder) - The Halcyon was destroyed during the opening days of the Horus Heresy at the Battle of Phall.Justitia Fides (Strike Cruiser) - Strike Cruiser assigned to the 3rd Company during the disastrous Hydra Cordatus Campaign.Shield of Valour (Strike Cruiser) - Strike Cruiser carrying Captain Lysander and a sizeable portion of the 1st Company late in the 40th Millennium that was lost in the Warp for nearly a thousand Terran years before returning near the orbit of the Iron Warriors Fortress World of Malodrax, where the vessel and its Astartes were subsequently captured by the Traitors.Terrible Angel (Strike Cruiser) - Strike Cruiser that was fired on by the Imperial Navy following the Horus Heresy for Rogal Dorn's refusal to accept the tenets of the Codex Astartes and the dissolution of the Space Marine Legions into Chapters.Titus (Strike Cruiser) - Strike Cruiser that carried Task Force Gauntlet to the Vernalis System.

Her orders were to deliver a complement of advanced Mark VI-pattern power armours to the rebuilding XIX Legion and then return to Terra. Her fate however would take quite a different turn when Captain Noriz decided to fight alongside the Raven Guard rather the obeying his orders. The Wrathful Vanguard fought in dozens if not hundreds of smaller engagements, often being used as bait for the enemy to chase while the Raven Guard's ships ambushed convoys and destroyed or captured freighters and merchantmen's vessels.Imperial Power (Gothic-class Cruiser)Redemption of Fire (Capital Warship, Class Unknown) - Unknown-class warship despatched to Duras III to halt an Ork incursion.Crusader (Escort) - Destroyed during the opening days of the Horus Heresy at the Battle of Phall.Legate (Escort) - Destroyed during the opening days of the Horus Heresy at the Battle of Phall.Lacedaemon (Battleship, Unknown Class) - This vessel had carried the first Imperial Fists beyond the Sol system during the Great Crusade, but met its ultimate fate when it was destroyed during the opening days of the Horus Heresy at the Battle of Phall.Oath of Stone (Battleship, Unknown Class) - This vessel was old before it served the Imperium, and it had aged in scars and honours during the Great Crusade. Destroyed during the opening days of the Horus Heresy at the Battle of Phall.Oathbound (Unknown Class) - Ordered by First Captain Sigismund to seek out surviving Iron Hands splinter forces and rally them to the defence of Terra, the Oathbound was under the command of Shipmaster Casterra, a non-Astartes human captain, who sailed out from the Segmentum Solar with the Iron Hands representative to the Crusader Host onboard. Through his knowledge, they would discover the ravaged Iron Hands Battle Barge Thetis and the resistance group of Iron Hands survivors, known as the Ignarak, crewing her. Confronted by a hunter-squadron of the Sons of Horus, the Oathbound succeeded in destroying the enemy vessel Dawnstar before succumbing to the Spear Strike. Her mission however, was a success, as the Thetis survived and would answer the call to arms when the time came.Endeavour of Will (Imperial Starfort) - The Endeavour of Will was a powerful Starfort with a quasi-sentient Machine Spirit that is used by the Imperial Fists, along with its sister Starfort the Bastion Inviolate, to guard an area of Imperial space around the Eye of Terror.
