{{Stub}}'''Vortex torpedoes''' are the rarest and the mightiest of all [[Imperial]] special [[torpedo]] types. Like other [[vortex weapon]]s, this torpedo works by creating a temporary rift in the [[warp]], which proceeds to rip apart and absorb everything near it. In battle, this means whole sections of the vessel gone forever into the [[Immaterium]], complete with all the equipment and crew inside.<sup>1,2</sup>
Like the somewhat weaker [[Melta torpedo]]es, the vortex torpedoes are highly unstable and can be set off by a lucky enemy shot into the torpedo compartment, more often than not completely devouring the vessel.<sup>1</sup>
The [[Imperium of Man]], the [[Eldar]] and [[Dark Eldar]] can carry vortex torpedoes on ships of at least [[Cruiser]] size or larger, though rarely will they have more than one, while the [[Orks]] have been known to carry vortex torpedoes which they have looted from other races.<sup>2</sup>
