Forgeship
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
(Redirected from Forge-ship)
Forgeships are imperial ships that double as vast manufactoria. Their forges for example provide Space Marine Chapters with weapons of war.[1]
It seems that they can be found in Adeptus Mechanicus-fleets[4] and Space Marine-fleets[1].
A related yet distinct type of vessel are the Factory Ships, which e.g. refine raw ores to usable purity.[5]
