The '''Bronze Minos''' is a [[Strike Cruiser]] possessed by the [[Sons of Malice]] [[Chaos Warband|Warband]]{{Fn|1a}} and was commanded by [[Chaos Lord|Agitor]] [[Kanath]], during the [[13th Black Crusade]]. It and other warships of the Warband, took part in the Chaos invasion of the [[Agripinaa System]]{{Fn|1b}} , and after [[Cadia]]'s destruction{{Fn|1c}}, they fell upon the ships of [[General]] [[Gruber]]{{Fn|1a}}, which had escaped from the [[Cadian System]]{{Fn|1c}}. In doing so, Kanath sought to claim revenge, for the Cadians' part in purging the Warband's Homeworld [[Scelus]]{{Fn|1b}} , and the Bronze Minos and his fleet mercilessly destroyed many of the General's fleeing ships. This forced Gruber to quickly order his remaining ships to [[Morten's Quay]]'s ice mining moon, [[Faith's Anchorage]], where he deployed his surviving forces. The General then charged the [[Lord-Lieutenant Berwicke]] and the [[Venerable Warrior]] to flee and reach [[Terra]]{{Fn|1a}}, but both ships were destroyed before they could escape the System{{Fn|1d}}. Afterwards , Kanath's fleet returned to the moon and he ordered his forces to invade the moon and kill the Cadians. This began the [[Battle of Faith's Anchorage]]{{Fn|1e}} and the outnumbered Cadians were overwhelmed by the Sons of Malice and the hordes of slaves they had at their command. Before the Cadians were killed, several other Chaos Warbands arrived{{Fn|1f}} and helped massacre the few survivors that still remained{{Fn|1g}}. This was not the end of the battle , however, as the Chaos Warbands were unaware that another Imperial fleet fleeing from Cadia, had also arrived in the system. Led by [[Admiral]] [[D'Armitage|d'Armitage]], the Imperial fleet launched a surprise attack on the Chaos warships in Faith's Anchorage's orbit, while the majority of their forces were still on the moon. Caught between the need to either fight or gather their forces from the moon, only a few managed to escape from the battle. It is not known though, if the Bronze Minos was among them.{{Fn|1h}}
