The Blood Crusader is a Battle Barge in the Blood Angels Chapter.[1a]
It was under the command of Captain Ubaldo in M42, when it intercepted a plea for aid from the Forge World Gorgonum[1b]. Though the damaged Battle Barge and Ubaldo's battered forces were returning to Baal, to undergo repairs and recover after completing a successful campaign[1a], the Captain immediately went to aid the Forge World. When they arrived, the Blood Angels saw that the gargantuan Space Hulk Forsaken Doom, was on a collision course with Gorgonum. A plan was made to destroy the Space Hulk[1b], by placing a series of Melta-bombs near energy cores in the Forsaken Doom[1c], while the imperiled Forge World agreed to begin repairing the Blood Crusader. However due to the losses suffered in their previous campaign, Ubaldo was only able to assemble a single Terminator Squad for the mission[1b]. Led by Sergeant Tahariel[1b], the squad was able to destroy the Space Hulk, with the aid of Lexicanium Hagios and Inquisitor Jost von Marburg.[1d]
