One of the more 'standard-issue' class of Chaos Battleships. The [[Retribution-class Battleship|Retribution-class]] if you will.

A design dating to the dawn of the Imperium, and constructed using technology long lost to the Imperium, the '''Desolator''' was a warship that emphasized destruction from afar and it was fully capable of doing so, with [[Lance Weapon|Lance]] turrets, long-ranged [[Macrocannon|macro cannons]], and [[Torpedo]] tubes as standard.

Between M31 and M34, at least five Desolators turned against the Emperor's light and none now remain in service. With the introduction of newer Battleship classes and a change of Imperial doctrine. There are no more Desolators left in Imperial service, all having turned to Chaos long millennia before.

The Desolator is heavily armed; carrying 8 [[Torpedo]] Launchers, 6 Double-Barrel Heavy [[Lance Weapon|Lance]] Battery Weapons and 2 Triple-Barrel Super Heavy [[Naval Missile Turret|Missile Turrets]].
