'''''Firemane's Fang{{PAGENAME}}''''' was a [[Battle Barge]] in the [[Space Wolves]] [[Chapter]]. It was commanded by the [[Wolf Lord]] [[Sven Bloodhowl]] when it took part in the defense of [[Cadia]] during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]]. When the weakened [[Imperium]] forces defending the [[Fortress World]], learned that the [[Despoiler]]'s fleet was bearing down on them, with the [[Blackstone Fortress]] the ''[[Will of Eternity]]'' in tow, panic set in. Cadia's depleted defenses were not ready to stand up to the Blackstone Fortress' might and in order to give the Imperium's forces more time, Bloodhowl offered to board the ''Will of Eternity'' and do what he could to slow it down. This plan was quickly agreed to and when the ''Firemane's Fang{{PAGENAME}}'' left Cadia's orbit, it carried not only fifty-eight members of Bloodhowl's [[Great Company]], but also nearly one hundred and forty two other [[Space Marine]]s, from the various Chapters defending Cadia. Also going with Bloodhowl were the survivors of the '''Cadian 13th''' [[Regiment]] and a full maniple of the [[Mechanicum]] of [[Mars]]' [[Skitarii]]{{Fn|1a}}. As the Despoiler's fleet finally neared Cadia, the ''Firemane's Fang{{PAGENAME}}'' was able to punch its way through the various [[Chaos]] warships and launched its [[boarding torpedoes]], containing Bloodhowl and his forces, at the ''Will of Eternity''. Shortly after the boarding torpedoes succesfully hit the Blackstone Fortress though, the Battle Barge was destroyed by the Despoiler's fleet.{{Fn|1b}}
