Emperor-class Battleship - Notable Emperor-class Battleships: Divine Right - The Divine Right was an Emperor-class Battleship whose hull was recovered from the space hulk Inculcate Evil that was captured near the Charos System by Captain Jacobus in the 36th Millennium. The ship was reintoduced into Imperial service after an extensive refit at Cypra Mundi. It served first as the flagship of Battlefleet Artemis, and later as the flagship of Battlefleet Gothic. The Divine Right won great renown during the Gothic War.Dominus Astra - The Dominus Astra played an important role in defeating Hive Fleet Behemoth and ending the Battle of Macragge during the First Tyrannic War.Indomitable WrathInomine Veritas- The Inomine Veritas took part in the Third War for Armageddon.Intolerance - The Intolerance took part in the Battle of Veras during the Gothic War. It was protected by the two Firestorm-class frigates of Gold Squadron. The Intolerance was able to complete the despatch of twenty-four bomber wings against the Chaos Desolator-class Battleship Eternity of Pain during the battle.Legatus Stygies - The construction of the Legatus Stygies began in orbit of the Forge World of Stygies VIII in the Vulcanis System in the 30th Millenium. Heretics seized the world during the Horus Heresy, and work on the Legatus Stygies likely only resumed in the 32nd Millennium. There were further delays due to Warp Storms and Chaos raids, delaying the vessel's commissioning until the very end of the 32nd Millennium. During the Gothic War it survived a suicidal ramming attack in the Battle of Calavell, was one of the few ships to survive the disastrous purgation of Ulthanx, destroyed the Chaos battleship Black Pain at Arriva and served as the flagship of Fleet Admiral Mourndark at the Third Battle of Savaven.Lord of Light - The Lord of Light was part of the fleet of Lord Commander Solar Macharius. Following the near-destruction of his flagship Pax Imperium, a Mars-class Battlecruiser, at the Battle of Charaxdis, his senior staff persuaded Macharius to transfer his flag to the Lord of Light. Following Macharius' death, the Lord of Light was decommissioned and now orbits the Shrine World of Macharia as a tribute in his honour.Mercy of the Blade - This battleship was part of the Imperial defence fleet protecting the Solari Anchorage Star Fort, which was located within the Metalica System. When the Charadon Campaign began, Lieutenant-Heraldus Lihua Sheradane departed with most of the fleet to engage the Chaos forces commanded by the Death Guard Chaos Lord Typhus. A small fleet, led by the Mercy of the Blade, remained to guard the Solari Anchorage, which was under the command of Rear Admiral Vordkin. This proved to be an inadequate defence when Typhus' fleet surprised the Imperial defenders by invading the Metalica System through The Sore, a Warp tunnel created by Death Guard Sorcerers under Typhus' command that directly connected the Obolis Sub-sector's Chaos-held Alumax System to the Metalica System. The tunnel's terminus had suddenly materialised within the system, and caught its defenders off-guard, as the forces of Chaos moved to assault Metalica directly. But first the Death Guard intended to eliminate anything that stood in the way of a successful planetary assault, including the Solari Anchorage. Real Admiral Vordkin knew his fleet could not stop the invaders and, rather than let them be destroyed in a fruitless last stand, he ordered the Mercy of the Blade to escape. The battleship soon departed with as many other vessels of its fleet that could escape in time. Shortly after, the Anchorage was taken by the Death Guard.Revenge - The Revenge was the flagship of Battlefleet Demeter and played an important role during the Pandorax Campaign fighting against the fleets of the Black Legion and the Red Corsairs.Pax Imperalis - The Kingmaker was a Chaos-corrupted Exorcist-class Grand Cruiser thought to have been lost in the late 41st Millennium while on patrol near Agripinaa, but it appeared four Terran years later as part of a Black Legion fleet that destroyed an Imperial convoy between Cadia and Belis Corona. Afterwards, the Pax Imperialis was charged with destroying the Kingmaker and this began a two-solar-month pursuit that ended in the asteroid belts of the Crinan System. Though normally a grand cruiser would be no match for a full battleship like the Pax Imperialis, the Kingmaker had been corrupted by the power of Chaos and managed to hold out long enough for Chaos reinforcements to arrive. This caused the Pax Imperialis' commander, Vice Admiral Chanke, to order a retreat. While the battleship was able to escape, it was forced to leave behind its voidcraft that had been launched to deliver the final blow to the Kingmaker. When the 13th Black Crusade began, the Kingmaker was among the Black Fleet's warships that attacked the Imperial forces defending Cadia. It was there that the grand cruiser clashed with the Pax Imperialis once again, but this time it was the Kingmaker that was forced to retreat, after the battleship severely damaged it. However, following the Fall of Cadia, the remaining Imperial forces escaped from the Cadian System and it is not known what became of the Kingmaker. The Pax Imperialis next helped to defend the surviving Imperial fleet fleeing from lost Cadia from attacking Chaos warships, as they began the long journey to reach one of the Cadian System's Mandeville Points. As the Imperial survivors finally approached the exit vector from the Cadian System, the Death Guard battleship Terminus Est appeared and moved to attack. In order to save the Imperial fleet, the Pax Imperialis and the Lunar-class Cruiser Heart of Light raced toward the Terminus Est and opened fire. In the battle that followed between the three warships, the Pax Imperialis managed to bring down the Terminus' void shields, which allowed the Heart of Light to target the Death Guard battleship with its Nova Cannon. The blow struck true and dealt massive damage to the Nurglish warship, but it still returned fire upon the two Imperial warships. The Pax Imperialis was struck by this return fire and a series of explosions detonated along its spine, but the Imperial fleet escaped into the Warp shortly afterwards. Due to the severe Warp storms affecting the galaxy in the wake of the 13th Black Crusade and the birth of the Great Rift, the Imperial fleet was scattered and the Pax Imperialis was among the warships that appeared beside Admiral d'Armitage's flagship, Grand Alliance, in the Agripinaa System, itself under assault from Chaos forces. Under the admiral's command, the Pax Imperialis and the other Imperial warships defeated a Chaos fleet in the Battle of Faith's Anchorage. Though they were victorious, Faith's Anchorage was just the start of the Admiral d'Armitage's campaign to retake the Agripinaa System from the forces of Chaos. When the last Traitor was finally slain, the system was firmly back in the Imperium's control and the Pax Imperialis was charged with bringing word of Cadia's destruction to Terra.
