===Carriers===

====Emperor====

The poster-ship for Battlefleet Gothic, the Emperor carries four Launch Bays worth [[Fury Interceptor|fighters]] and [[Starhawk Bomber|bombers]], which are supplemented by a suite of [[macrocannon]]s for ship-to-ship combat. Hence, it is more accurate to state that the Emperor is a <s>Carrier Battleship</s> <s>Battlestar</s> Battlecarrier rather than a true Aircraft Carrier due to its heavy armaments. This means that the ''Emperor'' can reliably put the hurt on enemies at extreme range, and in-universe accounts for the versatility and self-sufficiency of the class.

It is also one of the oldest designs still in use, due to the discovery of Divine Right fused into a Space Hulk for some ten thousand years.

Fun fact: despite having a third gun/lance/launch deck compared to the Vengeance, its castle (the butt with the engines and stuff) is not significantly increased to correspond with the obviously greatly increased needs and crew.

In ''Battlefleet Gothic: Armada'' 1 & 2, the ''Emperor'' has the longest Identification Range of the ship type, shared only by the ''Oberon''-class Battleship and ''Widowmaker''-class escort.

====Nemesis====

A modification of the ''Emperor''-class, the ''Nemesis'' adds two more Flight Decks, to a total of six, in exchange for some of its guns. It is a relatively cost-effective way for the Imperium to re-use old Carriers into something viable.

In many ways, the Nemesis functions like an actual Aircraft Carrier found in the 21st century rather than the Carrier Battleship layout of the Emperor; a vessel that primarily hosts aircraft and is minimally armed with CIWS whilst dependent on being defended by a carrier group.

Therefore, due to its mode of 'construction', the Nemesis is another rare class in-universe, as all existing ''Nemesis'' were created from damaged ''Emperor''-class ships. On an interesting trivia, the Nemesis Class Fleet Carrier was originally a fan-designed ship by Matt Sprang.

It is arguably better than the Emperor-class, though. Can carry massive numbers of attack craft including a mixture of [[Fury Interceptor]]s, [[Faustus Interceptor]]s, [[Starhawk Bomber]]s and [[Shark Assault Boat]]s, freeing up lesser ships from wasting a deck for launch bays, yet still has the dorsal turret weapons for adding long-range firepower and blasting escorts stupid enough to attack it.
