Heart of Light
The Heart of Light is a Lunar Class Cruiser in Battlefleet Cadia and defended the Fortress World, during the 13th Black Crusade.[1]
However, when Cadia was dealt a death blow by the Despoiler, the Heart of Light and other Imperial forces began to flee from the system. The Heart of Light then aided in defending the Imperial fleet from attacking Chaos warships, as they began the long journey to reach one of the Cadian System's Mandeville Points. When they finally neared one, though, the Death Guard Battleship Terminus Est appeared and moved to attack them. In order to save the Imperial fleet, the Heart of Light and the Battleship Pax Imperialis raced toward the Terminus 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 strike the Death Guard Battleship with its Nova Cannon. The blow struck true and dealt massive damage to the Terminus, but it quickly returned fire upon the two Imperial warships. Shortly afterwards, the Imperial fleet escaped into the Warp, but it is not known if the Heart of Light managed to escape as well.[1]
