The '''Veritas Ferrum''' was a [[Strike Cruiser]] in the [[Iron Hands]] [[Legion]], that during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]] ==Overview==The ''Veritas'' took part in the space battle above [[Isstvan V]] during the [[Dropsite Massacre]]. Commanded by [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Durun Atticus]], the Veritas was part of the second wave of Iron Hands vessels to arrive at Isstvan V, having been too damaged in the [[Emperor's Children]] ambush on [[Callinedes]] to join their [[Primarch]] [[Ferrus Manus]] in the first wave, and was immediately attacked by the [[Traitor Legions]]. In the massacre that followed most of the second wave of Iron Hands vessels were destroyed, with the Veritas taking fire as its crew desperately tried to escape; after receiving word that their Primarch had fallen in battle. As the Veritas made its escape, it suddenly received a vox from two [[Thunderhawks]] bearing survivors from Isstvan V's surface and, after being convinced by [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Khi'dem]] of the [[Salamanders]] 139th [[Company]], moved to recover them. While coming under continuous fire the Veritas recovered the survivors, which cost the Iron Hands more lives than the ones they had just saved, before finally making an emergency jump into the [[Warp]], as the traitors' ships closed in on the Strike Cruiser.{{Fn|1}} The ''Veritas Ferrum'' later traveled to [[Pythos]] as part of the [[Shattered Legions]] expedition there under Captain [[Durun Atticus]]. At Pythos, the ''Veritas Ferrum'' along with the Legionaries on the damned world were claimed by the [[Daemon]] [[Madail]].{{Fn|2}} Following the capture of the vessel by Madail, the Daemon transformed the ''Veritas Ferrum'' into a corrupted monstrosity. The vessel became far larger than it originally was and grew organic features such as jaws, tentacles, and eyes. The damned ship became the center of Madail's fleet as he terrorized worlds across the galaxy.{{Fn|3}}
