	The [[Imperial Navy]] [[Mars-class Battlecruiser]] Lord Daros discovered the true nature of Brute Ram Ships during a raid at Verstap. Two of them rammed it amidship, one just missing and only snapping its sensor mast off, but the other ploughed into its starboard weapons battery and exploded, forcing it to withdraw. Much of what the Imperium knows about Brutes was learnt from the salvaged wreck embedded in Lord Daros's hull.

	Ork Escorts are all flying battering rams to be used and discarded. But the Brute Ram Ships stands out for being faster and far more agile than any other Ork vessel of its category in the fleet, with a Speed of 25cm and capable of 90° Turns, compared to the 20cm Speed and 45° Turns everything else was doing flat out. This made it as manoeuvrable as Imperial Navy [[Imperial_Navy_Escort\|Escorts]] and, thanks to its 6+ Front Armour like all Ork spacecraft, it was tougher.

	It had a single secondary Gunz Battery with a wide-angle Fire Arc covering it's prow, port, and starboard facings, only Range 30cm and Firepower 2, but its primary mode of attack was its Armoured Beak, which let it roll 4d6 dice to damage the target when ramming, as opposed to the 1d6 other Escorts did. This meant it could punch far above its weight class, almost equivalent to a [[Imperial_Navy_Light_Cruiser\|Light Cruiser]], and a squadron of the things spelt problems for even a [[Imperial_Navy_Battleship\|Battleship]].

	Unlike in Imperial fleets, [[~~Torpedp~~\|torpedoes]] are not a major strategy for the Orks, probably due to the unreliability of their reloading teams and the poor quality of those torpedoes.
