== Overview ==
It is unclear just how the craft came into being; there are rumors of its [[STC]] file being discovered early in the [[41st Millennium]] in a forgotten [[Martian]] archive, but the Stormraven has been in service with the [[Grey Knights]] for millennia before that.{{Fn|2}} As the situation for the Imperium has become increasingly desperate and since the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] has judged its performance satisfactory, many Space Marine chapters now employ the Stormraven.{{Fn|3}}
Smaller than the [[Thunderhawk Gunship]], the Stormraven is, not surprisingly, much more agile than its more well-known sibling, thanks to its wide array of vectored thrusters. It is this maneuverability that makes it an ideal support craft in environs (such as the crowded spires of a [[Hive City]]) where the deployment of Thunderhawks would be impractical or simply foolish.{{Fn|1a}}
