'''''Halcyon''''' was a [[Battleship]] of the [[Imperial Fists]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
A unique vessel, it was built by the [[Hecuban Conformity]] as a sign of tribute after its conquest in the [[Aegisine War]] by the 81st [[81st Expeditionary Fleet]]. Its [[Void Shield]]s and Plasma drives held all the potency of the Hecuban's secret arts and far excelled the power of many warships of similar scale. It served with distinction during the Great Crusade and served as a secondary flagship for the Imperial Fists as it was swifter than the enormous ''[[Phalanx]]''. During the [[Battle for Taldane]] she destroyed six [[Eldar]] capital ships and [[Sigismund]] himself accepted the surrender of the [[Zurcon Freeholds]] from its bridge.{{Fn|1}}
The ''Halcyon'' was commanded by [[Captain]] [[Amandus Tyr]] during the [[Battle at the Phall System]].{{Fn|2}}
