Orion Gunship
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Orion Gunship is a type of aircraft used by the Custodian Guard during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
Created as a dedicated assault dropship for the Emperor's bodyguard, the Orion carried a full taskforce of Custodes into combat. Protected by frontal armor superior to that of the Astartes Thunderhawk, The Orion was equipped with a Arachnus heavy blaze cannon and Lastrum Bolt Cannon that could swiftly clear a landing zone of enemy infantry and armor with brutal efficiency.[1]
It is unknown if it is still in use in the 41st Millennium.
