{{QuoteBox|quote='''"It was a vessel like no other, one of the rare Ark Mechanicus explorator vessels, and even among those behemoths it was reckoned large for its kind, a vast city in space, bristling with weapons, and containing manufacturing and research laboratoria beneath its adamantium skin to rival a forge world."'''<br>''- [[Decimus Androdinus Felix]], [[Tetrarch]] of [[Ultramar]]''{{Fn|1a}}}}'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a massive freighter-hulk and [[Ark Mechanicus]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. It serves as the flagship and mobile laboratory for [[Magos Dominus]] [[Belisarius Cawl]].{{Fn|1}} It is both Cawl's home and research facility.{{Fn|3a}}
==Overview==
For the better part of ten millennia, Cawl crafted legions of [[Primaris Space Marines]] inside its holds.{{Fn|3a}} The vessel is capable of holding great armies within itself, providing several [[Skitarii]] and [[Cybernetica]] armies alongside three lances of [[House Taranis]] [[Knight]]s during the [[Indomitus Crusade]]. [[Primaris Space Marine]]s were produced within its hull.{{Fn|1}} The entirety of the '''{{PAGENAME}}''''s crew has been [[mind-swept]] multiple times to maintain Cawl's desired level of secrecy.{{Fn|2a}}
There is no actual [[shipmaster]] aboard the '''{{PAGENAME}}'''. Instead of this it has the solid system created by Cawl, where the impressive "personality" of the ship interacts with the network consciousness of the ship's [[tech-priest]]s. Although Cawl does occupy the captain's post himself at times.{{Fn|2a}}
===Landing Bow===
The blunt, aggressive bow of the ship can detach itself from the rest of the ark, acting as a self-contained subsidiary vessel. Cawl sometimes uses it as a landing craft. It slides along and then off a connecting arm with many pipes and cable popping free and reeling themselves into the larger part of the ark. Although the bow is but a part of the ark, its large in its own right, big enough to land several [[Imperial_Knight#Society|lances]] of [[knights]].{{Fn|3a3b}}
