The '''Executor Grand Cruiser''' is a [[Chaos]] starship.
==Overview==
The Executor is a [[lance]] boat, carrying large broadside lance batteries alongside smaller but longer-ranged ones. During its service with the [[Imperial Navy]], it was much beloved for this firepower which served as a perfect foil for more [[Weapons battery|gun-oriented]] warships.{{Fn|1}}
Despite this popularity, few ''Executors'' were made, and their numbers gradually dwindled over the years as, one by one, they were lost in battle. One of the last remaining squadrons disappeared shortly after a fleet action against [[Chaos]] raiders near the [[Cadian Gate]], only to reappear five centuries later in the service of the renegade [[Arca Vilespawn]]. These are believed to be the only remaining Executors in existence, as no more remain in [[Imperial]] service.{{Fn|1}}
