The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a class of [[Cruiser]] used by the fleets of [[Chaos]]. Developed in late [[M33]] as a replacement for the [[Styx Class Heavy Cruiser]], it was seen as more well-rounded for fleet engagements and solitary patrols. The ships were being built at [[Cypra Mundi]] when newer designs from [[Mars]] were deemed more suitable for the [[Imperial Navy]]. Most were decommissioned by the Imperium in late [[M35]]. By [[M36]], a number of vessels had turned renegade, leading many to fear some inherent design flaw made these ships susceptible to corruption within the [[Warp]]. As a response, the Imperial Navy was quick to decommission whatever of the Cruisers remained. Since then, the class is frequently seen in the armadas of [[Chaos Space Marine]] fleets and in particular the [[Black Crusade]]s of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]].{{Fn|1}}
==Notable Vessels==
*''Blade of Fury'' - Captured early in the [[13th Black Crusade]]. Has been seen alongside the [[Emperor's Children]] [[Battle Barge]] ''[[Wage of Sin]]''{{Fn|1}}
*''Erebus'' - Captured early in the [[13th Black Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}
*''Admiral Foster'' - Renamed ''Reign of Terror'' upon turning renegade, part of the fleet assigned to [[Planet Killer]].{{Fn|1}}
*''Lustful''{{Fn|1}}
