===Damocles Command Rhino=== [[image:FWDamocles.jpg|Damocles Command Rhino|300px|right|thumb]] A slightly crappier version of the Rhino Primaris. The Damocles Command Rhino is used by the Space Marines for large-scale operations or campaigns. The Damocles is an example of the kind of advanced technology available to the current Space Marines. It is used only in operations where command and control of significant Space Marine formations are required, such as a battlegroup consisting of a Battle Company plus support elements. The Damocles provides a communications link between the Force Commander, his battlegroup and any air or orbital assets operating in the area. For this reason, the Damocles is rarely committed to front-line actions, and is typically hidden away to prevent enemy interference. In addition to the driver, the Damocles is crewed by a communications officer and a tactical officer. These Space Marines will have undergone additional training with the Chapter's [[Techmarine]]s in order to operate this sophisticated technology. There is also room for the Force Commander next to the driver, allowing him the ability to keep himself updated on the developing situation. The Rhino itself is packed with some of the most advanced comms technology available to the Imperium at large. It mounts secure, multi-band communications gear that acts as a communications hub for the battlegroup, with signal boosters to allow ground-to-orbital comm-links, as well as the ability to communicate with other Imperial command units operating in the area. It can also monitor, intercept and decrypt enemy communications, which in addition to a multi-spectral auspex allows it to track enemy movements. Link-up with an orbital relay allows the Damocles to track individual squads and vehicles for an entire Chapter, as well as bio-status readouts provided directly by the Marines' power armour. Finally, the Damocles includes a teleport homer, which produces a strong signal to allow for much safer and more accurate teleportations. The Damocles is usually unarmed but can be equipped with the standard-issue [[Storm Bolter]] if it gets too hectic.
