The ''Nightfall'' was notable for containing a vast series of labyrinths and traps inside of its hulls designed by [[Perturabo]]{{Fn|4}}, which Curze used to torture and kill those he captured. Curze's own quarters in the Nightfall were an even more grisly display, having many mutilated corpses hanging throughout. The Night Haunter would frequently talk to these bodies, and become enraged if one attempted to move them.{{Fn|2}}
The warship led the Night Lords fleet in the genocidal [[Thramas Crusade]], but suffered catastrophic damage at the hands of the [[Dark Angels]] fleet led by another Gloriana Class ship, the ''[[Invincible Reason]]''.{{Fn|1}} The ship was able to escape the Dark Angels and has since sought to rendevouz rendezvous with Night Lords splinter fleets. After Thramas and the disappearance of Curze, the ship fell under the command of Captain [[Thandamell]].{{Fn|3}} The vessel later fell under the control of [[Gendor Skraivok]] who stated his intent to rejoin [[Horus]] and the push on [[Terra]].{{Fn|4}} The ''Nightfall'' under Skraivok's command was part of Horus' fleet during the [[Siege of Terra]]. During the battle [[Angron]] was teleported into the maze aboard the vessel by [[Kharn]] in order to control his rages and prevent him from destroying his own ship ''[[The Conqueror]]''.{{Fn|5}} When it became safe for [[Daemon]]s to manifest on the planet, Angron was ejected from the ''Nightfall'' and made his way towards Terra.{{Fn|5b}}
