Japhet

The Japhet was a vessel of the Imperial Navy that took part in the Sabbat Worlds Crusade.[1a]
At one point, the Japhet was scheduled to convey a number of Imperial Guard Regiments from Pyrites to their next campaign in the Menazoid Clasp. However, due to a problem with the Japhet's boarding tubes, some of the regiments (including the Vitrian Dragoons Third) were transferred over to the Absalom instead.[1a]
It later transpired that this was no mere coincidence, however, but rather a plan by the Imperial intelligence operative Bel Torthute to make sure that Colonel Zoren and his Vitrian Dragoons were able to support Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt of the Tanith First and Only during an attempted conspiracy by Lord Militant General Dravere to seize control of the entire Crusade.[1b]
