The '''Emperor Class Battleship''' is a large vessel used by the [[Imperial Navy]] and [[Basilikon Astra]].{{Fn|6}} It is a command ship and a carrier combined together. It is one of the oldest designs still in use, due to the discovery of ''[[Divine Right]]'' fused into a [[Space Hulk]] for some ten thousand years.{{Fn|1}}

The main armament of the ''Emperor'' class is made up of its 8 squadrons of [[attack craft]] such as the [[Fury Interceptor]] and [[Starhawk Bomber]]. These are able to roam far from the ship, to engage enemy capital ships that would be out of range, or otherwise non-viable targets for the ship's port, starboard, dorsal, and prow-mounted [[weapons batteries]]{{Fn|1}}.
