The '''''Triumph''''' was a [[Strike Cruiser]] in the [[Raven Guard]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
As the Heresy began, the ''Triumph'' was left behind with a small force of the Legion, led by [[Chapter Master|Commander]] [[Branne Nev]], to defend [[Deliverance]] while [[Corax]] led the Raven Guard to confront [[Horus]] on [[Isstvan V]]. When months Months later , Corax and the Legion had not returned, and so the ''Triumph'' was part of a flotilla of ships that Nev led to the enemy held [[Isstvan System]] in search of the Primarch. When they neared [[Isstvan V]], Nev dispatched the ships of the [[Therion Cohort]] to [[Isstvan IV]] to draw off Horus' forces while the [[Battle Barge]] ''[[Avenger (Battle Barge)|Avenger]]'' evacuated Corax and what remained of his Legion after the [[Dropsite Massacre]]. When the evacuation was completed, Corax ordered the ''Avenger'', ''Triumph'' and the Strike Cruiser ''[[Raven's Valour]]'', to each leave Isstvan V on different headings in order to confuse Horus' pursuing forces. The ''Triumph'' and ''Raven's Valour'' were both able to successfully escape from the System and returned to Deliverance.{{Fn|1}} ==Related Articles==*[[List of Strike Cruisers]]
