Desolator Class Battleship.^[1]

The Desolator Class Battleship is a Chaos starship.^[3]

Overview

The Desolator was designed far back at the founding of the Imperium, based on technology now lost to the Adeptus Mechanicus. Between M31 and M34, at least five Desolators turned against the Emperor's light and none now remain in service.^[1] Today, they are in the service of the Forces of Chaos.

The Desolator Class Battleship is equipped with two Lance turrets, a dorsal Weapons Battery, and prow Torpedo tubes.^[1]
