What kind of ship is the Martyr supposed to be?

[VFR6]

I am not so savvy in Battlefleet Gothic, so I cannot properly ID the ship Martyr is. By its size, some kind of Battlecruiser or Battleship? Emperor class?
For that matter, what kind of ship is the one our hub supposed to be? I know it is smaller than the Martyr. One of the Cruiser class?

[Schalimah]

The Martyr does not fit any of the imperial ship patterns.
It looks a bit like a Gothic class cruiser with a whole bunch of macro cannons slapped on.

It's captain is a Rogue Trader, if that tells you anything. Probably very old and full of voidborn generations who've never set foot on a surface world let alone have a viewport to look upon one.

The Imperium doesn't really do standardization. Each forge world that builds ships likely has different plans to work off. Lots of details that they don't share with each other because, keeping those secrets to themselves is better for their standing within the Admech.

And then these ships often exist for millennia with lots of work done on them. Repairs and modifications that move them away from whatever they were when freshly built.

Inquisitor exists some distance from the Gothic sector. So it would be more surprising if the ship matched one of the ship types flown there.

Captain Ragna van Wynters ship is never named in the game.
It is only shown partially in cut scenes and it serves as the mission hub.
From what we can glimpse, it a relatively small void hauler with one front mounted dorsal turret.
The Martyr was Uther Tiberius ship and serves as the location of about 50% of the campaign missions.
It generally has an imperial cruiser hull but its armaments are non-standard.

It looks like either a tyrant class or a dictator class cruiser

This is the Martyr
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2834593453
Distinctive features:
- ramming spur
- torpedo tubes
- 4 lance batteries (2 on each side)
- 4 small macro batteries (2 on each side mounted underneath the lance batteries)
- 6 large macro batteries (3 on each side mounted underneath the light macro batteries and behind the lance batteries)

The Gothic class:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2834592752
Distinctive features:
- ramming spur
- torpedo tubes
- 4 lance batteries (2 on each side)

The Domiator class:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2834592900
Distinctive features:
- ramming spur
- torpedo tubes
- 2 launch bays (1 on each side
- 2 large macro batteries (1 on each side)

The Tyrant class:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2834592974
Distinctive features:
- nova cannon
- 4 large plasma batteries (2 on each side)

The closest match is still the Gothic class.
The amount of weapons would put the Martyr safely in the grand cruiser or battleship category but the hull is clearly a cruiser or battle cruiser pattern.
Battle cruisers usually come with dorsal mounted turrets, which the Martyr lacks though.

They call it monastery or something like this. I would say that it is not supposed to fit any standard classes since it is not a line ship, but rather a mobile base / stronghold.

Having said that... totally don't know what is Alpha Class...

I've just started new character - Tech Priest as a Seasonal Character. When he lands on Martyr - I believe this is his fifth mission or something like this his "operator" gives this information. I have been too slow to make a screenshort...
