The '''Promethean Class Cruisers''' were powerful ancient [[Terran]] warships, that were clad in dense layers of [[Void-shield]]s and dated back to the [[Dark Age of Technology|age]] before [[Old Night]].{{Fn|1}}
They, along with the [[Gloriana Class Battleship]]s and [[Tiamat Class Destroyer]]s, were relics of forgotten technologies, that far surpassed more modern warship designs in potency. The [[Emperor]] had somehow gained possession of a number of these warships and as the [[Great Crusade]] began, he gave a small number to most of the [[Space Marine Legions]]. The [[First Legion]], however, was given a Fleet of these warships, due the honor they had earned themselves in the [[Unification Wars]].{{Fn|1}}
