==Overview==
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.{{citethisCME}}
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.{{CitethisCME}}

Both types of Emperor Titan 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}}

===The Imperator===
The Imperator is one of the larger examples of an Emperor Titan. Only the most battle-hardened [[Princeps]] are given command of an Imperator. In comparison to Battle Titans of all classes, Imperators are rare with most Titan Legions only able to field three or four Imperators in a campaign. The Grand Masters of Titan legions often use Imperator Titans, modified to a greater or lesser degree, as mobile headquarters. From here they issue commands to the whole legion or even lead vital assaults personally if the situation warrants it.{{Fn|2}}

===Conflicting sources===
*A number of different sources list different heights for Emperor-class titans. Imperators are said to be at least 50 metres in height.{{Fn|5}} However, Imperator Titans have also been listed as being 60 meters tall,{{Fn|7a}} 70 meters tall,{{Fn|8}} at least 90 meters tall,{{Fn|9}} and 100 meters tall.{{Fn|10}}
*Notably, one particular Emperor-class (''[[Dies Irae]]'') is said to be only 43 metres tall in one source {{Fn|1}}, but an earlier novel pegs describes the same Titan as being 140 metres tall.{{Fn|6}})
