Editing Gloriana-class Battleship (section)

== In Battlefleet Gothic ==

The ''Gloriana''-class was not statted out when the [[Battlefleet Gothic|specialist game]] was first released for the simple reason that GW hadn’t created them yet. At the time, the ''Vengeful Spirit'' was simply an ancient [[Chaos]] Battle Barge with stats that made it slightly more effective at boarding, which was underwhelming to say the least. It doesn't even get Chaos-specific benefits, especially compared to the other Chaos God-aligned battles barges statted out (see the '''Terminus Est''' of the [[Death Guard]]).

Not exacly reflecting its reputation as a ship capable of fending off entire Loyalist fleets, and enduring the world-breaking duel between the [[Emperor]] and Horus.

The sidebar to the ''Vengeful Spirit'' also mentioned its equivalents still serving the Imperium were considered "relic" Battle Barges that could customize their weapon load-out before deployment for free, and come with a Space Marine crew by default. Again, a far cry from what's expected of a ship class that can fend off fleets on its own.
