Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum β

Halcyon was a Battleship of the Imperial Fists during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]

A unique vessel, it was built by the Hecuban Conformity as a sign of tribute after its conquest in the Aegisine War by the 81st Expeditionary Fleet. Its Void Shields and Plasma drives held all the potency of the Hecuban's secret arts and far excelled the power of many warships of similar scale. It served with distinction during the Great Crusade and served as a secondary flagship for the Imperial Fists as it was swifter than the enormous Phalanx. During the Battle for Taldane she destroyed six Eldar capital ships and Sigismund himself accepted the surrender of the Zurcon Freeholds from its bridge.[1]

The Halcyon was commanded by Captain Amandus Tyr during the Battle at the Phall System.[2]
