Dark Cloud

Dark Cloud was a mass conveyance barge of the Imperium.^[1]

Whilst en route to the War Zone Kilda, the Dark Cloud became stranded in the warp with Imperial Knights of House Mortan waiting in its hangar. The Gellar field that shielded the disabled craft from the denizens of the empyrean holds firm at first, until a series of massive objects impacted with the ship’s hull. The objects turned out to be Chaos Knights of House Khomentis. After attaching themselves to the barge, the Khomentis Knights began blasting and cutting their way through its outer bulkheads to allow waves of warp energy to flood inwards. Knowing that the Dark Cloud could not survive long against the assault, the Knights of House Mortan ventured out onto the barge’s exterior to do battle. Though they fought bravely, the Mortan Knights were destroyed by the Chaos Knights, and the souls of their pilots devoured by flocks of Daemons. With its last line of defense annihilated, Dark Cloud was swiftly torn apart.^[1]
