[[Image:Slaughter Cruiser.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Slaughter Cruiser{{Fn|1}}]]
The '''Slaughter-Class Cruiser''' is a fast, short-range gunshipused by the Forces of [[Chaos]], 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 destroy its victim before the enemy forces can stop it.{{Fn|1}}
Unfortunately, when the ''Dutiful'' - later renamed the ''Soulless'' - turned renegade and bombarded the [[Forge World]] of [[Selethan]], 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 no more Slaughter-class ships could be built.{{Fn|1}}
