The ''Slaughter ''-class is a a fast, short-range gunship used by the Forces of [[Chaos]], armed to the teeth with massive [[weapons batteries|turbo-linked destructor-cannon batteries]] and a modest array of high-yield broadside [[lance]]s. {{Fn|2}} With its advanced [[Scartix]]-engine coil, giving it the speed of an [[escort]], it can pounce on stragglers and escort squadrons then use its firepower to destroy its victim before the enemy forces can stop it.{{Fn|1}}

Unfortunately, when the ''Dutiful'' — later renamed the ''Soulless'' — turned renegade and bombarded the [[Forge World]] of [[SelethanSethelan]]in 126.M34{{Fn|2}}, the design for the Scartix engine coil was lost. Some believe that this was in fact the purpose of the attack. If so, the ''Soulless'' succeeded, as no more ''Slaughter''-class ships could be built.{{Fn|1}}
