The '''''War Oath''''' was a [[Battle Barge]], that was created by the [[Imperium]] before the coming of the [[Space Marine Legions]] and was given its name by the [[Emperor]] himself.  

It later served as part of the [[Imperial Fists]]' warfleet during the [[Great Crusade]], but was captured by the [[Iron Warriors]] in the [[Battle of Phall]], as the [[Horus Heresy]] began.  The [[Traitor Legion]] would then give the ''War Oath'' to the [[Sons of Horus]] and the Battle Barge served as [[Ezekyle Abaddon]]'s command ship, during the [[Solar War]].{{Fn|1a}} During the closing stages of the Solar War Abaddon sent the ''War Oath'' into a kamikaze attack on [[Luna]]'s orbital defensive ring as he and his warriors teleported to the moons surface. The resulting impact blew a 20 kilometer long hole in Luna's orbital ring.{{Fn|1b}}
