This article is about the Warship; for the Adeptus Custodes Rank, see Tribune (Adeptus Custodes). |
The Tribune was a Victory Class Battleship of the Imperial Fists legion, during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1a]
The Tribune was constructed in Inwit's orbital shipyards when the world built 10 Battle Barges for the Emperor in honor of Rogal Dorn taking command of the Imperial Fists.[1c]
During the Great Crusade, it served as the flagship of the Imperial Fists's 3rd Expeditionary Fleet and was where Dorn commanded his forces in the War of the Consus Drift.[2] When the Horus Heresy began, the Tribune was part of the Imperial Fists' Retribution Fleet sent to confront the traitorous Warmaster Horus. However, severe warp storms damaged the fleet and cast it out into the Phall System. The Iron Warriors legion, which had sided with Horus, soon attacked and the Tribune served as the flagship of Fleetmaster Alexis Polux, as the Battle of the Phall System began. There, the Tribune was destroyed in battle against the Iron Warriors Battle Barge Contrador.[1a]
