Legatus Class Battleship
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Legatus Class Battleship was a class of Battleship used by the Imperial Army's Imperialis Armada and Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.[1]
They were referenced as being built for the same role as Gloriana and Victory class Battleships, but were earlier designs and more logistically complex examples that were eventually relegated to mostly back-line duties in reserve and garrison fleets.[3]
Notable Vessels
- Triumph of Reason — Imperialis Armada command vessel intended to coordinate the entire Port Maw defensive fleet if needed. It was actually two Legatus-class Battleships that had been welded together to form one massive hull.[1]
