====Annihilator====
[[File:Annhilator_Battleship.JPG|300px|right|thumb|Meet the single largest gun ever fielded by the Imperial Navy. Gives the Planet Killer a run for its money.]]
The Annihilator-class Battleship is know for only two things. The first is that it is an old-ass model from the early days of [[Battlefleet Gothic]]. The second is that it boasts the [[Dakka|single-largest Emprah-damned gun in the entire Imperium that could be fitted on a ship.]] Seriously, look at the damned thing, its barrels are as long as a bloody [[Imperial Navy Cruiser|Cruiser]] and it is essentially firing shells as big as an [[Imperial Navy Escort|Escort]]. It is basically the loyalist's equivalent of the [[Planet Killer]], because with shells that big, [[Exterminatus|who ''needs'' Cyclonic Torpedoes?]]

Anyways, this class is dreadfully ancient, even by the standards of the [[Great Crusade]]. These ludicrous battleships were designed and built at Cypra Mundi in Segmentum Obscurus; they were typical of the designs from the Jovian shipyards but were unique thanks to their spear-headed front and unusual armament. The Annihilator abandoned traditional broadsides in favour of the aforementioned two enormous turret-mounted cannons.

Known as [[Annihilator Cannon]]s, these massive weapons fired huge [[Bolter|high explosive rocket-assisted shells.]] The shells were fired at such velocity that upon impact their sheer mass and speed was usually enough to tear through even the armoured hull of an enemy. A fraction of a second later the shell exploded, causing catastrophic damage. Oh yeah, and did we mention that these monsters are [[Rape|''twin-linked?'']] If that sounds vaguely like how a [[Bolter]], that's because it basically ''is'' one. The Annihilator Cannons are the single-largest Bolter weapon ever constructed.

Sweet Emprah, they make Cyclonic Torpedoes feel obsolete. Why can't the Imperium use ''these'' instead!?
