Bucephelus

Imperium Portal

The Bucephelus was a golden Battle Barge, that served as the personal flagship of the Emperor during part of the Great Crusade.

A gargantuan work of martial artistry, the vessel was so large that it generated its own gravity gradient.^[3] The Bucephelus maintained a garrison of Adeptus Custodes and took part in the titanic Battle of Gyros-Thravian.^[1]

At some stage of the Great Crusade, the Emperor began utilizing the Imperator Somnium as his flagship.^[2]
