Trident (Imperial Navy)
The Trident is a Dauntless Class Light Cruiser in the Imperial Navy, which was part of a task force sent to aid a Navy patrol force that had spotted a Necron fleet heading for an Imperium world. Once the task force arrived, the two groups attacked the Necrons fleet; leading to the first major encounter between the ships of Battlefleet Ultima and the Necron. When the battle started though, it was evident that the Imperial Navy forces were still outgunned by the Necron's superior firepower and they were eventually forced to flee or risk being completely destroyed. The Trident managed to escape undamaged, while the Necron fleet proceeded to harvest the Imperium world.[1]
