A Gladius Class Frigate

The Vesalius was a Gladius Class Frigate captured and renamed by Fabius Bile.^[1] Since coming into his possession it has undergone substantial modifications with captured xenotech and other heretical technologies, giving its machine spirit a level of awareness bordering on Abominable Intelligence.^{[Needs Citation]}

The vessel is crewed by mutants whose genetics and evolution have been heavily modified by Bile. The mutant crew worship Bile as a God and are intensely loyal to him. The lower decks of the ship are full of savage creatures which hunt the crew and vice-versa.^[2b] At the center of the vessel is a garden of Wraithbone which Fabius has been secretly cultivating. The Wraithbone has grown into the very bones of the vessel, something which worries the more xenophobic members of the Emperor's Children. At the center of the Wraithbone garden is a horrifically mutated and Daemonically corrupted Eldar known as Key, who was once a member of the Sunblitz Brotherhood until his capture by Fabius. Fabius now uses Key to access the Webway.^[2a]

Crew

• Wolver — strategium overseer^[1]
• Key - Captured Eldar used to access the Webway.^[2a]
