====Vengeance====

The class that the other Imperial Grand Cruisers are based on, the ''Vengeance'' was configured to take out its targets at extreme range. Armed with long-ranged [[Plasma]] [[macrocannon]] and heavy [[Lance]] broadsides as standard, the class has more than enough firepower to fend off a Cruiser or an Escort squadron.

Due to its lack of any prow and dorsal weaponry, the class is very vulnerable once any opponent manages to close the distance. It's particularly vulnerable to Attack Craft, as it doesn't have enough guns to defend itself from successive waves of attacks even though it has better shields than most Cruisers.

The ship design is now 10,000 or more years old and is being slowly phased out. The remaining Vengeance class ships are currently in reserve fleets or used to protect shipping lanes from pirates. They are very rarely used in full-scale engagements any more, due to being outclassed by newer designs, but only a fellow grand cruiser or a full battleship can hope to face its broadside one on one. The opposite of outclassed, and there are no new designs of grand cruisers and the Imperium is no longer able to make battleships which means the grand cruisers are being removed while still being sorely needed considering the primary enemy of the Imperium relies heavily on large numbers of cruisers. But, the Imperial Navy can’t abide common sense.

====Furious====

The Furious-Class Grand Cruiser is an old type of Grand Cruiser used by the Imperial Navy and forces of Chaos.

The Furious Class vessels reached limited production at a time where the [[Repulsive-class Grand Cruiser]]s reached the point at which Tech Priests of the Imperium had increasing difficulties maintaining their complex systems. At the same time, an idea caught on at the shipyards of Cypra Mundi to utilize the newly developed armored prow of a Battleship combined with a Grand Cruiser. This created a flagship for combined Cruiser fleets, which had the massive firepower of the earlier Repulsive design but enhanced command capabilities.

These ships were used primarily as portable firepower, upping the power of Imperial squadrons to almost Battleship levels thanks to its two [[Macrocannon|Weapons Batteries]], [[Lance Weapon|Lance battery]], and [[Torpedo]] tubes. Tactically these ships were successful but suffered from the same engine issues as their Repulsive-class predecessors. As a result, a more thorough rebuild took place in M39 which reduced the weapon strength but added reliability. Following the Gothic War, a few remained in service, primarily with the fleets of Segmentum Obscurus and Segmentum Tempestus where their formidable firepower remains so valuable that the unreliable engines are overlooked.

Through unknown means, [[Heresy|several Furious Class Grand Cruisers have defected to Chaos and remain in service with heretic forces.]]
