Embrace of Fire
The Embrace of Fire was an Imperial Navy Retribution Class Battleship, that served in Indomitus Crusade Fleet Quintus.[1a]
It was among the warships gathered for the initial launching of the Indomitus Crusade, but the battleship was destroyed in a plasma drive mishap before the Crusade's fleets departed. The Embrace of Fire's death destroyed 6 other ships of Fleet Quintus as well. Inquisitor Galen later discovered Imperial saboteurs were behind the battleship's destruction.[1a] As the Embrace of Fire was the sister ship of Roboute Guilliman's flagship, the Dawn of Fire, the Lord Commander speculated that the saboteurs were sending him a symbolic message.[1b]
