Spectre of Ruin
The Spectre of Ruin is a millennia-old Red Corsairs Battle Barge.[1a] It has served as their commander Huron Blackheart's flagship since the time he was the Chapter Master of the Astral Claws.[1b]

History
Any symbols of its past life in serving the Imperium have been desecrated and devotions to the Chaos Gods have been put in their place.[1b] The Warband's Chaos Cults, Traitor Guard and servants stationed aboard the Spectre of Ruin are also allowed to freely fight and prey on one another. However, they know to avoid doing anything that could earn them the attention or wrath of the Red Corsairs. And while it is still recognizable as a Battle Barge, the touch of Chaos has now begun to change the Spectre of Ruin. Parts of its interior are now visibly corrupted and have drastically changed from their original appearance.[1a] Despite this, Blackheart ensures the Spectre of Ruin's bridge is a place of calm order, though the corruption there is obvious. For the most part, the bridge is also still mostly crewed by the same Chapter Serfs who once served the Astral Claws. Only those who refused to betray their service to the Imperium were killed and replaced by the Warband after they became the Red Corsairs.[1b]
