Hammer of Thor

Imperium Portal Imperial Navy

This article is about the Battleship; for the Lunar class cruiser of the same name, see Hammer of Thor (ecclesiarchy cruiser).

The Hammer of Thor is a Retribution Class Battleship in the Imperial Navy. It was part of a task force sent to aid a Navy patrol force that had spotted a Necron fleet heading for an Imperium world. Once the task force arrived, the two groups attacked the Necron fleet, leading to the first major encounter between the ships of Battlefleet Ultima and the Necrons. When the battle started though, it was evident that the Imperial Navy forces were still outgunned by the Necron's superior firepower and they were eventually forced to flee or risk being completely destroyed. The Hammer of Thor managed to escape, though it was left heavily damaged, while the Necron fleet proceeded to harvest the Imperium world.^[1]
