====Imperial Transport====

[[File:ImperialTransport2.jpg|250px|right|thumb|As humble as it is vital.]]

Your vanillas of Transport Ships. Imperial Transports are the merchantmen, freighters, and support vessels that ply the space lanes, carrying the trade that is the lifeblood of the Imperium. From the dozen or so transports of a single planetary invasion to the hundreds - or even thousands - that participated in the Gothic War, the humble transport is as vital to victory in a conflict as the mighty Battleships that they supply.

Though slow, ungainly, and poorly-armed, transports are often called upon to defend themselves in battle. Fighting against impossible odds, such battles invariably result in heavy losses to the transports, as they simply cannot match up to a dedicated warship.

They appear in [[Battlefleet Gothic: Armada]] as an annoying quest unit for escort missions. It is slow and fragile and as such, they will always fall behind. Try to manoeuvre in quiet mode and hide in gas clouds, otherwise, the enemy will quickly surround and turn them into space trash. Despite pretty good shields and integrity, it's going to be hard getting it across the map in one piece.

[[Chaos]] forces often rely on hijacked Imperial transports, as these lazy fucks seem disinclined to build something as mundane as a [[Derp|food-hauler.]] Crewed primarily by pirates, cultists, and renegades, these captured ships will begin to show signs of the [[Heresy|warping influence of Chaos]] after enough years under their dark new masters.
