Changes

Richly decorated inside and out, with armour plates inlaid with gold being it's most obvious extra-normal feature. Built in the shipyards of Jupiter, it was a little over 160 years old at the beginning of the Horus Heresy. Hand-crafted to exact specifications, it's construction took twice as long as that of comparable vessels, and was overseen by the [[Fabricator-General]] of [[Mars]] himself. Such honour was paid to it as it was seemingly intended to be the Flagship of the Primarch of the III Legion from the moment it was laid down.

The Phoenix Gate was a large bronze gateway guarded by more Emperor's Children. Upon the doors was engraved a mural showing the Emperor presenting Fulgrim with the symbol of the Imperial Eagle. Passing through it, one arrived in the Heliopolis, a large circular chamber designed as the main meeting room of the Legion officers. Also lined with pale marble walls, black terrazo flooring and supported by pillars and bronze statues, the Heliopolis also featured a heavily mosaiced ceiling that dripped purple and gold banners. The centre of the domed roof featured a window port that allowed starlight to penetrate the room when the illuminators were doused. Oil-burning censers were spaced throughout the room. Rows of benches were arranged in a circular formation, in a banked series that provided seating for two thousand. A chair of black marble sat in the very centre of the room; the seat of the Primarch. The closer one sat to the floor and the Primarch, the higher one's percieved rank and status.
