Zar-Quaesitor is a massive freighter-hulk and Ark Mechanicus of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It serves as the flagship and mobile laboratory for Magos Dominus Belisarius Cawl.[1]

Overview

The vessel is capable of holding great armies within itself, providing several Skitarii and Cybernetica armies alongside three lances of House Taranis Knights during the Indomitus Crusade. Primaris Space Marines were produced within its hull.[1]

There is no actual shipmaster aboard the Zar-Quaesitor. Instead of this it has the solid system created by Cawl, where the impressive "personality" of the ship interacts with the network consciousness of the ship's tech-priests. Although Cawl does occupy the captain's post himself at times.[2a]

The entirety of the Zar-Quaesitor's crew has been mind-swept multiple times to maintain Cawl's desired level of secrecy.[2a]

History

During the Indomitus Crusade, the Zar-Quaesitor was invaded and boarded by the forces of Fabius Bile, who Cawl suspected was after the Sangprimus Portum. In truth however Bile sought Alpha Primus, the original Primaris Space Marine, and was able to escape with the Marines Progenoid Glands. During Bile's attack the Zar-Quaesitor was invaded by large numbers of Beastmen, Terata, Mutants, and other abominations and was subjected to a massive hacking attack that disabled most of its key systems.[2b]
