Battlecruiser Jovian

The Jovian is a heavily modified Mars Class Battlecruiser serving in the Imperial Navy.[1]

Built for Battlefleet Bakka, this vessel began its service as a standard Mars Class vessel but had its prow and forward weapons battery decks smashed apart during the Stabulo Campaign. Languishing for centuries, the vessel was refitted to hold large numbers of Attack Craft in the aftermath of Imperial experiences against Hive Fleet Behemoth, which demonstrated the need for such vessels. However, the Imperium maintains a stubborn attachment to big-gun warships, which has reduced the use of the pattern.[1]
