Vae Victis is an ancient Vanquisher Class Battleship used by the Imperial Navy.[1]
The first known Vanquisher class vessel, the Vae Victis was constructed at Hydraphur in late M32 where it subsequently joined Battlefleet Bakka. The vessel saw action in the Pacification of Magellan and the Saint-Saen Crusade. Whilst on this extended crusade the vessel was recorded as lost in the Warp, but it reappeared some 200 years later. Its next known action came when it served as part of the Dominion Fleet of the Ultramarines in Ultramar. Over the next millennia it underwent extensive refit to repair its widespread damaged and aging Lance and propulsion systems. Aged and suffering continued problems, the Vae Victis served until M38 when it was left in stationary orbit around Drawkesd in Segmentum Tempestus. However following the heavy Imperial Navy losses at the hands of Hive Fleet Behemoth, the Vae Victis was refitted and returned to service.[1]
