==Overview==
'''Overlords''' are a new aircraft that seem to be an evolution of the [[Thunderhawk]]. They have powerful quintuple engines and twinned hulls thick enough to permit insertion from orbit like [[Thunderhawk]]s Thunderhawks or [[Stormbird|Stormbirds]]s, despite being similar to [[Corvus Blackstar]]s.{{Fn|1}}
Like [[Corvus Blackstar|Blackstars]], '''Overlords''' possess twin transport bays with their own assault doors, but they're are considerably bigger and even more blessed with advanced technologies , like [[Void Shield|energy shieldshields]]s.{{Fn|1}} Each troop compartment features a ramp at the rear{{Fn|3a}} and can be lowered to allow for embarkation and disembarkation.{{Fn|3d}} The cockpit sits between the two halves of the double fuselage.{{Fn|2}}
An '''Overlord''' weighs 250 tons.{{Fn|3a}}
===Armament===
An '''Overlord''' is equipped with anti-munitions cannons, wing-mounted [[Lascannon|Desolator Lascannons]], nose-mounted [[Melta Weapon#Melta Cannon|Melta Cannons]] and [[Heavy Bolter|Heavy Bolters]] s fixed on its lower wing surfaces.{{Fn|1}} It can also mount turreted [[plasma weapon]]s.{{Fn|4}} In addition, a variety of missiles can be mounted to the wings, and the flanks of the '''Overlord''' are studded with crewed weapons bubbles containing heavy guns. The wings may be tipped with gatling las{{Fn|2}} and can also feature [[servitor]]-crewed heavy bolters.{{Fn|3b}}
===Defences===
===Transport Capacity===
An Overlord can transport at least eighty [[Primaris Space Marines]].{{Fn|2}} During the [[Ardium|Battle of Ardium]], an Overlord transported one early-pattern Space Marine and thirty-nine Primaris Space Marines, some of which were wearing [[Power Armour#Mark 10 "Tacticus Armour"|Mk X Gravis Armour]],{{Fn|1}} while an Overlord attached to [[Fleet Tertius]] of the [[Indomitus Crusade]] carried forty Primaris Marines (fifteen of which were [[Aggressors]] in heavy Gravis plate) in each of its twin holds during a boarding action.{{Fn|2}}
The Overlord can also be converted to serve as a vehicle transporter. In this capacity, it can deploy two [[Repulsor]]s by dropping them from thirty yards above the ground onto the battlefield without slowing down.{{Fn|4}}
