The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a [[Retribution Class Battleship]] in the [[Imperial Navy]]. {{Fn|1}} It was part of a task force sent to aid a Navy patrol force that had spotted a [[Necron]] fleet heading for an [[Imperium]] world. Once the task force arrived, the two groups attacked the Necron fleet, leading to the first major encounter between the ships of [[Battlefleet Ultima]] and the Necrons. When the battle started though, it was evident that the Imperial Navy forces were still outgunned by the Necron's superior firepower and they were eventually forced to flee or risk being completely destroyed. The ''{{PAGENAME}}'' managed to escape, though it was left heavily damaged, while the Necron fleet proceeded to [[Necron Harvester Fleet|harvest]] the Imperium world.{{Fn|1}}
