From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Revision as of 21:19, 9 November 2017 by ArcherPrime (talk | contribs) (again removed the consistently misquoted wolf king quote.)
The Gloriana Class Battleship was an ancient and powerful Battleship design used by the Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.
Overview
Officially classified as a type of command Battle Barge, the vessels were around 20 kilometers in length, though their size and appearance varied greatly.[1] These massive ships were frequently used as flagships for Imperial fleets and even Primarchs. The Gloriana Class vessels are the largest known Imperial warships after the Phalanx and Furious Abyss-class vessels.[1]
As of M41, the design appears to have fallen out of use.[1][2][3]
