The '''Slaughter-Class Cruiser''' is a fast, short-range gunship, armed to the teeth with massive [[weapons batteries]] and a modest array of broadside [[lance]]s. With its advanced [[Scartix]] engine coil giving it the speed of an [[Escort]], it can pounce on stragglers and Escort squadrons then use its firepower to blow away its victim before the enemy forces can stop it.<sup>1</sup>
Unfortunately, when the ''Dutiful'' - later renamed the ''Soulless'' - turned renegade and bombarded the [[Selethan]] [[Forge World]], the design for the Scartix engine coil was lost. Some believe that this was in fact the purpose of the attack. If so, the ''Soulless'' succeeded, as few (if any) modern [[Imperial]] [[Cruiser]]s can keep up with the Slaughter.<sup>1</sup>
