==History==
Serving as the flagship of the [[Emperor's Children ]] throughout the [[Great Crusade]], the ''Pride of the Emperor'' saw numerous actions including the [[Cleansing of Laeran]]. Later in the early stages of the [[Horus Heresy]] when [[Fulgrim ]] attempted to turn [[Ferrus Manus]] to side with [[Horus]] and the two sides came to blows, the ''Pride of the Emperor'' managed to badly damage the [[Iron Hands]]' flagship ''[[Fist of Iron (battleship)|Fist of Iron]]''. The ''Pride of the Emperor'' then led Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children into the [[Eye of Terror]] alongside [[Perturabo]] and the [[Iron Warriors]] to the [[Crone World]] of [[Iydris]].{{Fn|2}}
During the [[Great Scouring]] the ''Pride of the Emperor'' was at the forefront of the [[Emperor's Children ]] fleet led by [[Fulgrim ]] against the [[Ultramarines]]. The vessel engaged in a vicious duel with the Ultramarines [[Battle Barge ]] ''[[Gauntlet of Power]]'' and was ultimately the site of the battle between Fulgrim and [[Roboute Guilliman]] that saw the [[Loyalist|loyalist ]] [[Primarch ]] mortally wounded. During the battle, the ''Pride of the Emperor'' was crippled by loyalist forces.{{Fn|3}}
