==Overview==
The Retaliator is well-rounded vessel of [[Imperial]] origin, able to perform in several roles. Its defenses and [[Macrocannon|macro]][[Weapons batteries|batteries]] {{Fn|2}} allow it to engage in broadside shootouts, its long-range [[lance]]s allow it to provide fire support, and its launch bays can support four squadrons of [[attack craft]]. Unfortunately, this versatility comes at the cost of not quite being able to match up to specialist ships in a given area.{{Fn|1}}
''Retaliator''-class [[Grand Cruiser]]s have been in the service of [[Chaos]] since at least [[M35]], when the ''[[Foebane]]'' and its squadron mutinied against the [[Galan V]] garrison fleet during what would become known as the [[Treachery of Galan]].{{Fn|1}}
