The '''''Jovian''''' is a heavily modified [[Mars Class Battlecruiser]] serving in the [[Imperial Navy]].{{Fn|1}}
Built for [[Battlefleet Bakka]], this vessel began its service as a standard Mars Class vessel but had its prow and forward weapons battery decks smashed apart during the [[Stabulo Campaign]]. Languishing for centuries, the vessel was refitted to hold large numbers of [[Attack Craft]] in the aftermath of Imperial experiences against [[Hive Fleet Behemoth]], which demonstrated the need for such vessels. However, the Imperium maintains a stubborn attachment to big-gun warships, and it is unlikely any more vessels which has reduced the use of the Jovian pattern will be constructed.{{Fn|1}}
