The Light of Iax was a Hunter Destroyer in service with the Ultramarines during the Indomitus Crusade.[1a]


History

The Light of Iax was originally laid down in the orbital shipyards of Calth. By the time of the Indomitus Crusade, the ship had been extensively modified. The Light of Iax featured upgraded engines and it had a larger complement of weapons than a usual Hunter-class; not only did the ship possess more than double the usual number of torpedo tubes, its spine was also equipped with additional macro turrets.[1a]

The ship was responsible for transporting an Ultramarines strike force led by Chaplain Helios to the planet Quradim.[1a] Notably, most of the Ultramarines on board were Primaris Space Marines, making this mission one of the earliest known military actions for the Chapter on which both Primaris and Firstborn Ultramarines fought alongside one another.[1b]
