The '''''Pride of Fenris''''' is a [[Retribution Class Battleship]], that serves as the flagship of the [[Space Wolves]] [[Chapter]]'s [[Great Wolf]], [[Logan Grimnar]].{{Fn|1}}

==History==
It has an ancient design and has a hull, that is pitted and scarred by a hundred battles. The ''Pride of Fenris'' also has a council hall, like the one in the [[Space Wolves]]' [[Fortress Monastery]], [[The Fang]]. However, the ''Pride's'' hall is smaller and less ornate than The Fang's. Though it is [[Logan Grimnar]]'s flagship,{{Fn|1}} the ''Pride of Fenris'' was under the command of [[Force Commander]] [[Rakhim]] when he received a [[Operation Salvation|plea for aid]] from [[Asedor]]. Rakhim then led his forces to the [[Imperial]] [[Hive World]], but discovered that it was firmly in control of the [[Brothers of Retaliation]] [[Chaos Warband|Warband]] and their [[Chaos Cult]] and [[Traitor Guard|Traitor PDF]] allies. Seeing this, led the Commander to know that his forces were outnumbered and could not win in a direct assault against the invaders. Instead he sought to escort Asedor's [[Imperial Governor]], [[Elias An'Therosed]], to the ''Pride of Fenris'', so the Governor could provide intelligence about the [[Chaos]] forces they would face. This would then allow the Space Wolves to know where to aim their attacks, in order to ensure they defeated the invaders. Verodan was then part of the rescue-team that Rakhim led to extract An-Therosed and it [[teleported]] to the Governor's besieged palace in the '''Arden Prime''' [[Hive]].{{Fn|2}} 

They found An'Therosed with his remaining loyal forces and were preparing to [[teleport]] back to the ''Pride of Fenris'' when disaster struck. The [[Brothers of Retaliation]] became aware of the [[Space Wolves]]' presence and jammed the rescue-team's teleport signal. This prevented them from escaping with An'Therosed and with [[Asedor]]'s orbital defences in the [[Chaos Warband|Warband]]'s hands, the ''Pride of Fenris'' was also unable to send [[Thunderhawks]] to extract the Space Wolves and Governor. An'Therosed informed the rescue-team, though, that there was a prototype [[Escape Pod|escape pod]] at the top of Arden Prime's [[Hive-spire|spire]]. While it could not house all of them, the escape pod was made to be invisible to sensors and could safely reach the ''Pride of Fenris''. However, as they raced towards the pod, the Space Wolves were pursued in turn by a group of the Brothers of Retaliation. The [[Chaos Space Marines]] caught up with the rescue-team just as they neared the escape pod's chamber and a fierce battle erupted between the two forces. While the Space Wolves tried to escort the Governor to the pod, the fighting delayed them long enough for the [[Chaos]] invaders to shut off power to the hive-spire. This prevented the pod from working and left An'Therosed and the surviving Space Wolves stranded on Asedor.{{Fn|2}}
