The Armageddon was a Strike Cruiser in the Blood Ravens Chapter's Fourth Company. During the First Aurelia Crusade it served as Force Commander Aramus' base of operations[1a], until the Blood Ravens' final climatic battle with the Tyranids on Typhon Primaris. After fighting its way through the Tyranid ships that orbited Typhon Primaris, the Armageddon delivered Aramus' forces to the world below it before turning and attacking the Xenos. It was eventually overwhelmed, though, and in order to buy Aramus enough time to achieve victory on Typhon Primaris, the Strike Cruiser's crew initiated its self destruction sequence amongst the Tyranids' ships. With the Armageddon's destruction, however, the Blood Ravens suffered the loss of Apothecary Gordian[1b], numerous Serfs and a large number of the Chapter's relics.[2]
