The Lance of Heaven was a Dictatus-class Battleship of the White Scars during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1a]
An ancient vessel by the time of the Heresy, it was one of the Legion's core vessels. The Lance of Heaven led the Scars during the Battle of the Kalium Gate before becoming the Legion's flagship following the sacrifice of the Swordstorm during the Battle of Catallus.[1b] During the Solar War the Lance of Heaven acted as the command vessel of Jubal Khan as it engaged a fleet under Abaddon and Zardu Layak. The ship was boarded by both traitor commanders, and Jubal was slain by Abaddon in single combat. The ship itself was presumably destroyed by the enemy, but its stratus remains unknown.[2]
