{{Ambiguous|subject=the battleship class|disambiguation=Emperor}}[[File:EmperorBattleshipIllustration.jpg|thumb|right|An illustration of the Emperor Battleship]]The '''Emperor Class Battleship''' is a command ship and a carrier combined together. It is one of the oldest designs still in use, due to the discovery of ''[[Divine Right]] '' fused into a [[Space Hulk]] for some ten thousand years.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
== Overview ==The main armament of the ''Emperor '' class is made up of its 8 squadrons of [[attack craft]] such as the [[Fury Interceptor]] and [[Starhawk Bomber]]. These are able to roam far from the ship, to engage enemy capital ships that would be out of range, or otherwise non-viable targets for the ships ship's [[weapons batteries<sup>]]{{Fn|1</sup>}}.
==Notable Emperor Class Battleships==
*''[[Divine Right]]'' - seen during the [[Gothic War]].{{Fn|1}}
*''[[Dominus Astra]]'' - played a pivotal role in defeating [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]] and ending the [[Battle for Macragge]] when it entered the heart of the [[Tyranid]] fleet and detonated its [[Warp Drive]]s, dragging the entire Tyranid fleet along with itself into the [[Warp]].{{Fn|4}}
*''[[Indomitable Wrath]]''{{Fn|2}}
*''[[Legatus Stygies]]''{{Fn|1}}
*''[[Lord of Light]]''{{Fn|3}}
