Red Talon
The Red Talon, flagship of Iron Hands Morragul Clan, was one of the first Iron Hands vessels to arrive in the Isstvan system after the treachery of the reserves had been revealed, breaching into realspace amid the titanic space battle that erupted between the Loyalist and Traitor fleets.[1]
Autek Mor, master of the Morragul Clan, ordered his ship to attempt to breach through the firestorm to reach Isstvan V , and the infamously powerful grand cruiser succeeded in punching through the battle, but took such heavy damage it was forced to bypass Isstvan V and flee, managing to escape unlike many of the Iron Hands ships that would later arrive.
During this desperate battle, the Red Talon repelled dozens of separate boarding attacks from all sides, during which the Morragul "Devastator" heavy support squads were instrumental in slaughtering any who attempted to wrest control of the ship, taking heavy losses while doing so.[1]
