Editing Gloriana-class Battleship (section)

== Chariots of the Primarchs ==

During the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, each Legion had at least one ''Gloriana''-class warship as their Legion flagship, except for the Imperial Fists who had the larger and even more deadly [[The Phalanx|Phalanx]] (and the Alpha Legion which secretly had two flagships). A couple are also noted to have served as flagships in other expeditionary fleets. Relatively few Glorianas remain active and accounted for in the 41st Millennium, with the majority of the great ships either confirmed destroyed during the Crusade/Heresy or have since then disappeared without a trace.

*[[Dark Angels]]: The First Legion were given several at the start of the Great Crusade, taken from what had survived Old Night rather than being newly built and equipped from the forbidden armouries of Terra. Though the exact number is unknown; "many" of their fleets were supposedly headed by one. Any surviving vessels would have likely been given to the new chapters. So a few of them still might be in service as mobile [[Fortress-Monastery|Fortress-Monasteries]] for those of the Second Founding.
**''Paradigm of Hate'' (Destroyed): Participated in the First Rangdan War, was lost and unsalvageable.
**''Truth's Razor'' (Fate Unknown): Participated in the First Rangdan War, survived to fight again later.
**''Invincible Reason'' (Still Active): survived the Horus Heresy and currently serves as the Dark Angels' flagship.
*[[Emperor's Children]]:
**''Pride of the Emperor'' (Fate Unknown): Crippled during the Battle of Thessala, one of the few battles [[Roboute Guilliman|Girlyman]] lost. No further updates on its status.
*[[Iron Warriors]]:
**''Iron Blood'' (Still Active): Probably reconstructed as a space station or [[Perturabo]] keeps it in reserve on Medrengard. Confirmed to still be active and lurking around, having been spotted by Huron Blackheart's forces a few times.
*[[White Scars]]:
**''Swordstorm'' (Destroyed): Became one with the speed force during the Battle of Catallus, after Jaghatai attempted to use it as a trap to kill Mortarion.
*[[Space Wolves]]:
**''Hrafnkel'' (Fate Unknown): Galaxy's largest space tavern, mobile brewery and Viking convention hall. Was crippled by the Sons of Horus during the Battle of Trisolian, where it narrowly managed to escape the ''Vengeful Spirit''. There has been no known activity with it since, and the Wolves aren't talking about it either. Likely [[Leman Russ|the top dog]] took his kennel to the Eye with him.
*[[Imperial Fists]]:
**''Eternal Crusader'' (Still Active): Currently serving as the flagship and [[Fortress-Monastery]] of the [[Black Templars]], as the Imperial Fists have the [[The Phalanx|Phalanx]]. Currently known to hide/carry a [[Cross of Dorn-class Maritime Cruiser]] in its belly for maritime operations.
**''Burden of Duty'' (Fate Unknown): Only mentioned in the Siege of Cthonia Black Book, apparently the Fists had another Glorianna which [[Derp|they left in orbit of Cthonia alongside a small fleet instead of recalling to Terra for the siege]]. It's not mentioned what happened to it when the Sons of Horus came calling, but given their fleet won the battle it was probably destroyed or [[Chaos|worse]].
*[[Night Lords]]:
**''Nightfall'' (Fate Unknown): Last seen during the Siege of Terra, where one of its last duties was containing Angron within its many mazes because he was having one of his temper tantrums, at Kharn's request. He was later sent down on Terra once the fighting begun. Nobody knows its current status, making it a Grimdark version of the Batcave.
*[[Blood Angels]]:
**''Red Tear'' (Fate Unknown): Originally named ''Grey Daughter''. Sanguinius asked a woman to park it. As a consequence, mostly because she was driven mad by Chaos, it crashed on Signus Prime and got transformed into a fortress. It was later towed back into space, repaired, and served in the Horus Heresy. No other activities after that.
*[[Iron Hands]]:
**''Fist of Iron'' (Fate Unknown): Was severely damaged by the ''Pride of the Emperor'' prior to the [[Drop Site Massacre]] after Fulgrim failed to turn Ferrus to the traitors' side. Partly the reason why Ferrus got himself killed in said massacre. No details about its ultimate fate.
*[[World Eaters]]:
**''Conqueror'' (Still Active): Formerly ''Adamant Resolve''. Continues to be in active service after the Horus Heresy, last seen during the 13th Black Crusade. Currently serving its Primarch once more.
*[[Ultramarines]]:
**''[[Macragge's Honour]]'' (Still Active): Guilliman’s space chariot/boat. It used to be a shrine ship after Guilliman's defeat against Fulgrim, but after the Primarch's awakening, it was restored to battle-ready condition and is currently being used as his flagship while cruising the galaxy. Fully playable in Battlefleet Gothic 2 and is one of the best ships in the game.
*[[Death Guard]]:
**''Endurance'' (Still Active): In service to Nurgle, so it's a big garbage truck. Last seen during Mortarion's Plague Wars campaign.
*[[Thousand Sons]]:
**''Photep'' (Fate Unknown): Was sent away by Magnus with a contingent of Thousand Sons marines before the Burning of Prospero. Later before the Siege of Terra, they returned to their legion on [[Sortiarius]]. Last seen during the Siege of Terra.
*[[Luna Wolves]]/Sons of Horus:
**''[[Vengeful Spirit]]'' (Still Active): Currently used by Abaddon whenever he has a [[Black Crusade|temper tantrum]], remains the Black Legion flagship.
**''Magna Tyrannis'' (Still Active): Is currently renamed as the ''Harbinger of Doom'', and serves as the Spirit's equally competent but more obscure sibling.
*[[Word Bearers]]:
**''Fidelitas Lex'' (Destroyed): Was destroyed by the Ultramarines over Nuceria during the Shadow Crusade. Role as flagship was taken over by the ''Trisagion''.
**''Chronicle of Ashes'' (Still Active): Was captured by the Ultramarines during the Great Scouring; after being cleansed of Chaotic taint, it was renamed the ''Lex Talionis'' and given to the Nemesis Chapter, an Ultramarine successor.
*[[Salamanders]]:
**''Flamewrought'' (Fate Unknown): Disappeared after the Drop Site Massacre. A Battle Barge named in its honor later served as the Salamanders' flagship.
*[[Raven Guard]]:
**''Shadow of the Emperor'' (Destroyed): Destroyed by the ''Terminus Est'' during the Drop Site Massacre. Its successor, the Second Shadow, was destroyed 10,000 years later, also by the ''Terminus Est''.
*[[Alpha Legion]]:
**''Alpha'' (Fate Unknown): Was last seen during the Battle of Pluto. Much like the Alpha Legion: seemingly disappeared into thin air.
**''Beta'' (Fate Unknown): was last seen under the command of Omegon after a warrior claiming to be Alpharius died on Pluto. Much like the Alpha Legion: seemingly disappeared into thin air.
