Editing Fleets of Chaos (section)

=== [[Chaos Battleship|Battleship]] ===

'''Desolator'''

A design predating the Heresy, and by being designed to emphasize range and carries Torpedos, Broadside Lances and Dorsal Macrobatteries the Desolator emphasizes killing things at extreme range, and it does that really well. It comes with front-facing Torpedo Launchers, [[Lance]] broadside batteries, and macrocannons up the wazoo.

** '''Desecrator:''' The carrier variant of the Desolator. Replaces half the Broadside Lances with Landing Bays. Shared the same fate as its sister class and is now only seen in Chaos fleets. Traitorous despite its clearly pious and Emperor-loving name.

'''Despoiler'''

A Carrier based around a design found on Barbarus, the homeworld of the [[Death Guard]] [[Primarch]] [[Mortarion]]. Flaws in its Geller Field led to many going renegade through the millennia (as if the name wasn't a clue). Possibly even more dangerous at long range than the Desolator, the Despoiler supplements its already impressive [[Lance]] and macrocannon batteries with several Launch Bays worth of fighters and bombers.

** Despite being a new class, GW fucked up their fluff and had [[Rogal Dorn]] disappear aboard a Despoiler, [[What|5000 years before the class was created]]. Note this class was actually already named "Despoiler-class" by the Imperium. Yet, they were ''surprised'' the things went traitor. Wow. Also, after fixing the Gellar Field problem, the Imperium still decided not to build more, which was stupid since there was no longer a reason not to. I get not wanting to chance it, but beggars can't be choosers.

'''[[Gloriana-class Battleship|Gloriana]]'''

A massive and rare class of Battleship, the ''Gloriana'' was created to be flagships of [[Primarch]]s. When half of them joined [[Horus Lupercal]]'s forces, they took their flagships with them, and when Horus lost his fateful duel with the [[Emperor]], these followed their commanders into their escape to the [[Eye of Terror]].

Many are still around, and each is easily the match of an entire Imperial fleet. The most infamous of them all, the [[Vengeful Spirit]], is the de-facto flagship of [[Abaddon the Despoiler]].
