The Emperor's Wrath was an Imperial Navy Battleship, that took part in Cadia's defence during the 13th Black Crusade.[1]

The Fortress World was destroyed during the Despoiler's invasion though and the Battleship was among those ships used to evacuate both Cadia's surviving population and any remaining Imperium forces, before the world exploded. However, as the ragtag Imperium fleet retreated from Cadia, the plasma drives failed on the Agri-hauler Pride of St. Cerephos. Though the fleet was pragmatically ordered by the Imperial Fists Captain Garadon to leave the Pride behind, the Captains of the Emperor's Wrath and Dominus Victor refused and turned back to aid the stricken Agri-hauler. As the rest of the Imperium fleet continued to flee the Cadian System for safety, the two Battleships docked with the Pride and began evacuating the people within its holds. However, they would not finish before the Despoiler's fleet caught up with them and the Emperor's Wrath was destroyed before it could disengage from the Agri-hauler.[1]
