==Overview==
Roughly 300 meters long and containing an [[STC]] data core, the Spirit of Eternity was the sister ship to the ''[[Blade of Infinity]]'' and was considered a small vessel by the standards of the Dark Age of Technology. In [[M24]] it began a journey into the [[Warp]] and was beset by a [[Warp Storm]] and flung . Flung throughout time, witnessing it witnessed the formation of the [[Galaxy]] and the eventual destruction of the universe by [[Chaos]]. The ship eventually reemerged into the Galaxy at some point after the [[Horus Heresy]], where the captain decided to rendezvous with a nearby [[Human]] inhabitated planet. However much to their shock, the captain and crew were captured, tortured, and murdered by the superstitious Humans. The AI aboard the ''Spirit of Eternity'' witnessed this and became horrified and fled. Over time it developed a fierce hatred for Humanity and hoped to escape the accursed galaxy. Eventually the ship became entangled within the [[Space Hulk]] ''[[Death of Integrity]]''.{{Fn|1}}
In 887.[[M39]] [[Imperial]] forces consisting of [[Novamarines]] and [[Blood Drinkers]] under [[Magos]] [[Explorator]] [[Vardoman Plosk]] and [[Chapter Master]] [[Caedis]] cleared the ''Death of Integrity'' of [[Genestealer]] infestation. They discovered the ''Spirit of Eternity'' and the AI, now fuming with hatred of Humanity. After a battle the Imperials escaped and the ''Spirit of Eternity'' was able to escape into the Warp, where it was never heard from again.{{Fn|1}}
