{{ambig|subject=Imperial Titan type|disambiguation=Emperor}}[[Image:TitandeathEmp.jpg|thumb|right|280px|'''Emperor Titan''' during the [[Horus Heresy]]{{Fn|16a}}]]The '''Emperor Titan''' is the largest type of [[Imperial Titan]], consisting of two at least three classes: the ''Imperator'' and {{Fn|2}}, the ''Warmonger''.{{Fn|2}}and the ''Nemesis''{{Fn|29}}.

[[Image:TitandeathEmp.jpg|thumb|right|280px|'''Emperor Titan''' during the [[Horus Heresy]]{{Fn|16a}}]]Emperor Titans are immense, mobile fortresses, mounting veritable arsenals of weaponry, protected by [[void shield]] generators and armour so thick an Emperor Titan would not be out of place on a planetary defence installation. Emperor Titans are among the largest mobile battle units that can be deployed on a planet's surface. It forms a vital role, employed against the most formidable and overtly powerful enemies, providing massive, destructive and directed power. Emperor Titans employ the same technologies as other [[Imperial Titan|Titan]]s but on a massive scale, relying on huge plasma reactors to supply their colossal requirements.{{citethisFn|2}}

The most noteworthy feature of an Emperor is the fortified castle-like structure which occupies the entire upper half, sporting ornate features like spired towers and stained glass viewing portals. The building is heavily-armed, and more than capable of contributing to combat.{{Fn|7a}} Due to its prominent position, the Titan's head is situated lower than normal on the body, almost at the same level as the arm weaponry.{{CitethisFn|2}}

The Imperator is one of the two at least three variants of the Emperor, one of the other others being the Warmonger. {{Fn|2}}{{Fn|29}} Of these two, the Imperator is a more general-purpose assault platform, whereas the Warmonger is a dedicated fire-support unit with advanced fire control and targeting systems crewed by just one man.{{Fn|2}} Apart from these two variants, the [[Legio Praesagius]] is known to have possessed Emperor Titans of the ''Nemesis'' class.{{Fn|29}}

Both types of Emperor Titan , the ''Imperator'' and the ''Warmonger'', are extremely powerful; they are loaded to the brim with pre-installed weapons, and their mounts can handle Titan weapons too big for even the other classes (they do not however carry any close-combat weapons, as their sole focus is on extreme firepower). Emperors are very rare, and can utterly crush many weaker war engines. By default they also carry companies of troops on board for defense and assault assistance.{{Fn|2}}[[Image:IgnatumImperator.jpg|thumb|right|350px|[[Legio Ignatum]] Emperor Titan{{Fn|13}}]]

An Imperator Titan, upon destruction, detonates like a white-hot supernova, capable of destroying whole [[regiment]]s. The explosion alone can erase kilometres-distant units by either vaporising them or smashing them apart with concussive force. Vehicles and infantry farther away are simply thrown around and scattered throughout the environment. Even the resulting shockwave can shake buildings hundreds of kilometres distant while the explosion itself is visible from orbit as a sudden, brilliant flash.{{Fn|32}} According to the scale diagram from the Imperator's Apocalypse datasheet, it stands approximately 39" tall on tabletop, equivalent to 55.5 meters (166ft166 ft) in real life. [[Dies Irae]],{{Fn|1}} the famous Chaos Imperator Titan that laid siege to the [[Imperial Palace]], was stated as being 43m 43 m (130ft130 ft) tall, though it is by no means clear that ''Dies Irae'' had cathedral spires, serving as it was during the time of the [[Imperial Truth]]. As discovered in [[Dawn of War: Winter Assault]], the planet [[Lorn V]] houses the fallen Mars-pattern Imperator [[Dominatus]], which became a battleground for Imperial and Eldar forces as they fight for control over the Titan's weapons. In the campaign of [[Dawn of War: Dark Crusade]], the planet [[Kronus]] bears the Hellstorm Cannon of the Imperator ''[[Aquila Ignis]]''.{{Fn|2}}

*A number of different sources list different heights for Emperor-class titans.
