{{ChaosPortal}}[[Image:Styx_Heavy_Cruiser.jpg|thumb|right|Styx Heavy Cruiser.<sup>{{Fn|2</sup>}}]]The '''Styx Heavy Cruiser''' is a fleet support vessel. Its huge launch bays provide much-needed [[Attack Craft]] for [[Chaos]] fleets, and its long-range [[lance]]s and [[weapons batteries]] pack an impressive punch. All of this allows the ''Styx '' to hang back and rip apart enemies at distance as its fellows close in.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
Originally used throughout [[Segmentum Obscurus]] and [[Ultima Segmentum]] during [[M32]]-[[M33]], the Styx was eventually phased out in favor of new [[Battlecruiser]]s coming out of [[Mars]]. It lives on in the fleets of [[Chaos]], which greatly appreciate its abilities: ''Styx '' class ships fought against the [[Imperium]] in no fewer than thirty-nine major fleet engagements during the [[Gothic War]].<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
