'''Nightfall''' was a [[Gloriana Class Battleship]] which served as the personal flagship of [[Night Lords]] [[Primarch]] [[Konrad Curze]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. The Nightfall is notable for containing a vast series of labyrinths and traps inside of its hulls, which Curze uses to torture and kill those he captures. Curze's own quarters in the Nightfall is an even more grisly display, having many mutilated corpses hanging throughout. The Night Haunter would frequently talk to these bodies, and become enraged if one attempted to move them.{{Fn|2}}
The warship led the Night Lords fleet in the genocidal [[Thramas Crusade]], but suffered catastrophic damage at the hands of the [[Dark Angels]] fleet led by another Gloriana Class ship, the [[Invincible Reason]].{{Fn|1}} The ship was able to escape the Dark Angels and has since sought to rendevouz with Night Lords splinter fleets. After Thramas and the disappearance of Curze, the ship fell under the command of Captain [[Thandamell]].{{Fn|3}} The vessel later fell under the control of [[Gendor Skraivok]] who stated his intent to rejoin [[Horus]] and the push on [[Terra]].{{Fn|4}}
