Mare Infernum
The Mare Infernum was a Battle Barge in service with the Soul Drinkers Chapter, modified to act as a dedicated assault carrier, boasting a large number of docks capable of launching assault boats.[1a]
The Mare Infernum was part of a Soul Drinkers strike force led by the Battle Barge Carnivore that broke the Imperial blockade of the Cerberian Field, allowing renegade elements of the Soul Drinkers to escape the Lakonia Persecution, as the Soul Drinkers Chapter Master, Gorgoleon, wished to judge the turncoat Marines for himself.[1a][1b]
Following Sarpedon seizing control of the Chapter and establishing a new base of operations aboard the Space Hulk Brokenback, the remaining vessels of the Soul Drinkers fleet, including the Mare Infernum, were scuttled to avoid detection.[1c]
