The '''Triumph''' was a [[Strike Cruiser]] in the [[Raven Guard]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]], during the [[Horus Heresy]]. As the Heresy began, the Avenger Triumph was left behind with a small force of the Legion, led by [[Chapter Master|Commander]] [[Branne Nev]], to defend [[Deliverance]] while [[Corax]] led the Raven Guard to confront [[Horus]] on [[Isstvan V]]. When months later, Corax and the Legion had not returned, the Triumph was part of a flotilla of ships, that Nev led to the enemy held [[Isstvan System]] in search of the Primarch. When they neared Isstvan V, Nev dispatched the ships of the [[Therion Cohort]] to [[Isstvan IV]] to draw off Horus' forces, while the [[Battle Barge]] [[Avenger (Battle Barge)|Avenger]] evacuated Corax and what remained of his Legion after the [[Dropsite Massacre]]. When the evacuation was completed, Corax ordered the Avenger, Triumph and the Strike Cruiser [[Raven's Valour]], to each leave Isstvan V on different headings in order to confuse Horus' pursuing forces. The Triumph and Raven's Valour were both able to successfully escape from the System and returned to Deliverance.{{Fn|1}}
