====Organisation of the Imperialis Armada====

Regiments were usually assigned to individual ships, with Army personnel commanding both elements.{{Fn|2a}} In the fleet, the highest rank was the '''Master of the Fleet''', who was under the authority of the Lord Commander or Astartes officer in the Expedition Fleet. Other common ranks include Shipmaster (in control of a ship), Executive Officer (second in command){{Fn|4}}, First Master{{Fn|11a}} and Master (other ship officers){{Fn|11b}}. Some fleets, like the [[Saturnine Fleet]], retained their old ranks from before the Unification Wars.

==Equipment==

The Imperial Army of the [[Great Crusade]] was much more well-equipped than the [[Astra Militarum]] of [[M41|the 41st Millennia]].{{Fn|13x}} Vehicles that are considered rare or lost technology in M41 were common, such as the [[Testudo]], [[Dracosan]], [[Aurox]], [[Gorgon Armoured Assault Transport|Gorgon]], [[Carnodon (Tank)|Carnodon]], [[Malcador Heavy Tank|Malcador]], [[Leman Russ Incinerator]], [[Leman Russ Vanquisher]]{{Fn|13a}}, [[Leman Russ Executioner]]{{Fn|13b}}, and [[Destroyer Tank Hunter]]{{Fn|13c}}. Entire divisions were equipped with [[Baneblade]] and [[Stormhammer]] Super-Heavy Tanks and [[Valdor (Heavy Tank)|Valdor Heavy Tank]]s{{Fn|14}} and fleets were equipped with multitudes of [[Battleship]]s and [[Grand Cruiser]]s, all now considered a rarity.{{Fn|13d}} In the ten thousand years since the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, [[STC]]s have been lost, [[Forge World]]s destroyed, and the technology has been treated with far more superstition by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]].{{Fn|13e}}{{Fn|22}}
