A Carrier-type, the '''Despoiler''' was based on a blueprint found by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] on [[Barbarus]], the homeworld of [[Mortarion]](which should have been a hint that the thing was gonna cause trouble). Similar in design to the infamous ''Terminus Est'' commanded by [[Typhus]], it was discovered too late that it had [[Just As Planned\|severe flaws in its Geller Field generators.]] Not surprisingly, many turned Traitor, which led to the Imperium abandoning the construction of the class.

	The Despoilers at first don't appear to be that unique, as they have Dorsal [[Lance Weapon\|Lance]]s and Broadside Landing Bays and Weapons Batteries. Their difference is that, like the Terminus Est, they managed to have a Prow Landing Bay as well.

	On a more interesting note, despite being a new class, [[Derp\|GW fucked up their fluff]] and had [[Rogal Dorn]] disappear aboard a Despoiler, [[What\|5000 years before the class was created]]. Note this class was actually already named "Despoiler-class" by the Imperium. Yet, they were [[Fail\|''surprised'']] [[Heresy\|these things went traitor.]] [[EPIC FAIL\|Wow.]] Also, after fixing the Gellar Field problem, [[Lolwut\|the Imperium still decided not to build more,]] which was [[Stupid\|stupid]] since there was no longer a reason not to. I get not wanting to chance it, but beggars can't be choosers.

	The Despoiler is armed with 1 Heavy Launch Bay capable of carrying 8 squadrons worth of [[Swiftdeath Fighter]]s, [[Doomfire Bomber]]s, and [[Dreadclaw]]s, 1 Quad-Barrel Super Heavy [[Lance Weapon\|Lance]] Artillery, 4 Heavy [[Macrocannon\|Macro Battery Weapons]], 2 additional Launch Bays and 3 Double-Barrel [[Lance Weapon\|Lance]] Turrets.

	With their long weapon ranges and high speeds, Battleships lean toward the long-ranged keep-away playstyle that Chaos favors. Due to their high armor and shields, they can ''also'' do well during short-ranged brawls, though with their weaponry there's no real reason to do so.

	That said, if one wants to come close and personal, Chaos can make Boarding Actions more effective for a cost by taking [[Chaos Space Marines]] as crew. Taking those will ''then'' give a player the option to field Chaos Space Marine Terminators.
