Charybdis (Salamanders)
|
This article is about the Salamanders vessel; for the Tyranid Hive Fleet, see Charybdis. |
The Charybdis was a Battle Barge of the Salamanders Legion during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1a]
The vessel was one of the few Salamanders warships to escape the Drop Site Massacre and became the base of operations for surviving Salamanders under Artellus Numeon for a time. The Charybdis eventually made its way to Ultramar and managed to reunite itself with the body of Vulkan, now interred within the Unbound Flame. Seeking to return Vulkan's body to Nocturne, the Charybdis was pursued by Word Bearers forces and boarded. During the fight to secure the ship, Daemons were unleashed by the Traitor Marines. The loyalists were victorious in the end, in part due to the machinations of Magnus. The Charybdis managed to reach Nocturne and deliver its prize, but was later destroyed during the Battle of Nocturne at the hands of the Death Guard.[1b]
