An illustration of the Emperor Battleship[1]

The Emperor Class Battleship is a large vessel used by the Imperial Navy and Basilikon Astra.[6] It is a command ship and a carrier combined together. It is one of the oldest designs still in use, as evidenced by the discovery of Divine Right (which was fused into a Space Hulk for some ten thousand years).[1]

Overview

 
An Emperor Battleship[5]

Most of the Emperor Class Battleships were constructed during the Great Crusade-period.[1] The main armament of the Emperor class is made up of its 8 squadrons of attack craft such as the Fury Interceptor and Starhawk Bomber. These are able to roam far from the ship, to engage enemy capital ships that would be out of range, or otherwise non-viable targets for the ship's port, starboard, dorsal, and prow-mounted weapons batteries.[1]
