Slovo VI
The Slovo VI is a type of suborbital conveyer, used by the Imperium to transfer cargo between worlds and Space Stations placed within the edges of their atmosphere.[1a]
They are commanded by Flight Captains[1a] and are described as big, tough, and ugly[1b], with their sloping flanks being the height of a twelve-storey hab-block[1a]. The Slovos take a Forge World decades to build, and their crew number in the hundreds. Most however are bolted-down Servitors, while the rest are from Forge Worlds or received their training on one. The conveyers are expected to last for centuries[1b] and on some Imperial worlds, Slovos operate in an endless cycle of receiving and delivering cargo.[1a]
Slovos are also used by the Adeptus Mechanicus, capable of transporting a dozen maniples of skitarii if necessary.[2]
