[[Image:Astraeus.jpg|thumb|right|[[Red Scorpions]] Astraeus tank{{Fn|1}}]]
The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a newly unleashed [[Super-heavy]] [[grav-tank]] used by the [[Primaris Space Marines]]. It is a devastating war machine that represents the pinnacle of [[Imperial]] engineering.{{Fn|1}}
==History==
Unusually, the design does not originate directly from the work of [[Archmagos]] Dominus [[Belisarius Cawl|Cawl]]’s [[Repulsor]] transports designs, but instead
blends his innovations with [[STC]] technology supposedly recovered by the [[Minotaurs]] Chapter during the so-called [[Perun Cross Incident]], a battle whose records are sealed to all but the higher echelons of the [[Inquisition]]. As such, production of these vehicles is focused among the more distant [[Forge World]]s, primarily the fortress-forge of [[Mezoa]], where the gaze of [[Mars]] cannot so easily pry.{{Fn|2}}
