Stygian Beast

Chaos Portal Black Legion

The Stygian Beast is a Black Legion Battleship that is commanded by the Sorcerer Xorphas and served as the flagship for the Legion's forces in the Diamor Campaign. During the campaign, the Stygian Beast was used by Xorphas to strike out against the Blood Angels' forces when the Sorcerer conducted a Chaos ritual within the Battleship that induced the Black Rage on many within the Space Marine Chapter's Strike Cruisers, Angelic Blade and Flame of Baal^[1]. It would go on to survive the campaign's conclusion and evacuated Xorphas, and many of the Black Legion, to safety after their final defeat by the Imperium's forces on Amethal.^[2]
