Strike Cruiser - Grey Knights Strike Cruiser: The Grey Knights, perhaps the most elite and secretive of the Space Marine Chapters, maintain their base on Saturn's moon of Titan within the Sol System itself, close to Mars and the primary shipyards of the Adeptus Mechanicus, so their strike cruisers are highly advanced vessels, utilising the most advanced weapons, armour, Warp-drives, Void Shields and other systems available in the Imperium, even by the already high technological standards of the Space Marines.Like other Space Marine Chapters, the Grey Knights' primary mode of transportation is the strike cruiser class of Imperial starship that is exclusive to the Adeptus Astartes. However, the Grey Knights' starships are specially modified in several ways. One is the hexagrammic and anti-Daemonic wards that are built into the entire voidship from bridge to landing struts and every bulkhead in between, similar to those that are placed on the power armour and under the skin of the Grey Knights themselves. These wards lend the ship added protection from the forces of Chaos. Also, the Grey Knights' strike cruisers are constructed with significantly more advanced armour than the starships of other Chapters. This is to allow them to close with more powerful foes and reach their destination safely, since the Grey Knights must fight more powerful enemies than the standard Adeptus Astartes.Finally, the landing and Drop Pod bays are enlarged to be able to deploy larger numbers of Space Marines faster. The Chapter serf crew of Grey Knights strike cruisers are all strictly mind-wiped to prevent the possible taint of Chaos corruption, and are given a key word which will kill all the crew members on a Grey Knights strike cruiser and destroy the ship should it fall into the hands of the forces of Chaos.The modifications to the Grey Knights' voidships are made possible by two factors. The first is their fortress-monastery's location onTitan, a moon of Saturn in the Sol System and in close proximity to Mars, the greatest Forge World in the Imperium. This provides access to technology, materials refinement and fabrication techniques that were forgotten or are impossible to replicate anywhere else in the Imperium, which also explains the high quality of all Grey Knights equipment. Secondly, these efforts are made possible by the prodigious resources the Ordo Malleus provides the Grey Knights due to their position as its Chamber Militant.Because of their advanced engines and Warp-Drives as well as their highly trained Navigators, Grey Knights vessels are the fastest ships in the Imperium and can respond to a Daemonic incursion into realspace long before other Imperial forces. Grey Knights starships are also piloted by the most trusted and elite Navigators of the Navis Nobilite, capable of steering the most efficient courses through the unpredictable Warp.Grey Knights strike cruisers are armed with port and starboard side weapons batteries and a prow-mounted Bombardment Cannon, as well as multiple attack craft and Drop Pod launch bays as well as a teleportarium.The Grey Knights' Chapter fleet is based at the Broadsword Station, located in orbit above the moon Titan.
