The Hammer of Thor was an Ecclesiarchy Lunar class cruiser.

Overview

The vessel was notable for having carried Ephrael Stern and Inquisitor Silas Hand to Parnis, where the Screaming Cage lay. Whether replaced by dedicated launch bays or merely using special "ammunition", its Macro batteries could launch massive multi-decked drop pods, able to hold at least five Rhinos apiece, the accompanying infantry being secured in harnesses on another deck.[1]

The Hammer of Thor was sabotaged by its Navigator, Maielle, under the influence of a Slaaneshi Daemon called Ilestor, and was lost with all hands over Parnis. [1]

At the time of its destruction, it was commanded by captain Malachi Voloch, and sported a skeleton crew of a mere 2,123.[1]
