Carnage Class Cruiser^[1]

The Carnage Class Cruiser is a Chaos starship.^[1]

Overview

Originally, the Carnage-class was an Imperial ship designed as a fleet support vessel, providing long-ranged supporting fire with an impressive array of macrocannons and phased plasma batteries.^[2]

The Carnage-class was ill-fated from the start. First, much division was caused within Battlefleet Obscurus by the myriad technical problems with its weaponry. What's more, the very first Carnage-class cruiser, the Relentless, would earn the new name Initiate of Skalathrax after turning traitor during the Skalathrax Landing^{[Note 1]} and destroying half of the convoy it was guarding.^[1] Today, most are used by the Forces of Chaos.

Technical Specifications^[2]
