Serving as the flagship of the [[Emperor's Children]] throughout the [[Great Crusade]], the ''Pride of the Emperor'' saw numerous actions including the [[Cleansing of Laeran]]. Later in the early stages of the [[Horus Heresy]] when [[Fulgrim]] attempted to turn [[Ferrus Manus]] to side with [[Horus]] and the two sides came to blows, the ''Pride of the Emperor'' managed to badly damage the [[Iron Hands]]' flagship ''[[Fist of Iron (battleship)|Fist of Iron]]''. The ''Pride of the Emperor'' then led Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children into the [[Eye of Terror]] alongside [[Perturabo]] and the [[Iron Warriors]] to the [[Crone World]] of [[Iydris]].{{Fn|2}} The ''Pride of the Emperor'' reappeared during the final phase of the [[Solar War]] with Fulgrim himself aboard the vessel.{{Fn|4}}
During the [[Great Scouring]], the ''Pride of the Emperor'' was at the forefront of the [[Emperor's Children]] fleet led by [[Fulgrim]] against the [[Ultramarines]]. The vessel engaged in a vicious duel with the Ultramarines [[Battle Barge]] ''[[Gauntlet of Power]]'' and was ultimately the site of the battle between Fulgrim and [[Roboute Guilliman]] that saw the [[Loyalist|loyalist]] [[Primarch]] mortally wounded. During the battle, the ''Pride of the Emperor'' was crippled by loyalist forces.{{Fn|3}} As of [[M42]], the [[Traitor Legion]] does not known if the Pride of the Emperor still exists or if it has been destroyed. If Fulgrim knows the truth he does not seem to care, as the [[Daemon Primarch]] used the [[Vexation]] as his base, when he summoned the Emperor's Children to his side.{{Fn|7}}
