This article is about the the Chaos Warship. For other uses of Firebrand, see Firebrand (disambiguation). |
The Firebrand is a warship that serves as the base of operations for The Blessed Warband and was part of the Word Bearers Legion's fleet, during the Horus Heresy.[1]
It was under the command of Captain Darokh'Var, as the Word Bearers traveled to invade Terra. However the Firebrand became trapped in the Warp for several days and when it finally re-emerged, Darokh'Var realized that over a thousand years had passed. His forces soon discovered that the Imperium had defeated the Traitor Legions, who had been forced to flee into the Eye of Terror. The Captain was fanatically loyal to his Primarch Lorgar, though, and led his forces to attack Imperial worlds, before fleeing back into the Warp. Once again, however, the Firebrand became trapped in the Warp and when it re-emerged yet another thousand years had passed. This cycle would continue until the 13th Black Crusade, when the Firebrand's curse was finally lifted and Darokh'Var's forces were reborn as The Blessed.[1]
