Warhammer Lunar class cruiser

Lore taken from http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Lunar-class_Cruiser

The Lunar-class Cruiser makes up the backbone of many Imperial Navy Battlefleets. There are over six hundred in service in the segmentum obscurus alone. Its (relatively) uncomplicated design dates back to the dawn of the Imperium, and it can be constructed at worlds normally unable to build a ship of the line. Its variety of weapons batteries,Lances, and torpedoes make it both a versatile combatant and a dangerous foe. Most rogue traders fortunate enough to acquire one of these potent vessels remove the torpedo tubes to add more cargo space instead. During the 12th black crusade, also known as the Gothic War (139-160.M41), more than twenty Lunar-class vessels took part in the fighting against the Chaos fleet of Abadon the Despoiler

Whilst the Lunar-class does not have the range of larger warships, it can hold its own at medium-to-short ranges. It also possesses enough void shield strength and armour to enable it to get to weapons range relatively unscathed. Usually Cruisers operate in pairs, and the Lunar-class is no exception, as it allows twice the firepower to be brought to bear against the enemy, whilst at the same time forcing the foe to divide its own response between the two vessels. The standard tactic with the Lunar-class is to fire torpedoes when closing with the enemy. The disruption caused by this tactic in enemy formations will hamper attempts to fire upon the pair of Cruisers, and they will then close within range of all their weapons and turn their broadsides to face the enemy. From here, they will fire volley after volley into the enemy while circling at full speed.

While unimpressive individually, a properly-used Lunar-class Cruiser is, pound for pound, one of the most effective warships in the galay. It is simple in its purpose: break up enemy formations with long-range torpedo fire before turning broadside to savage enemies with their lances and weapons batterie. Lunars become even more deadly when working in tandem, as the firepower of a pair of Lunars is truly staggering. This very firepower, in fact, proved to be the downfall of Abadon's mighty Planet Killer during the Gothic War, as it was Lunar-class Cruisers that ultimately destroyed that nightmare vessel with repeated volleys of long-range torpedo fire.


This ship includes: Warp drive, void shields, weapons batteries, main bridge, strategium, manufactorum, life support, multiple cargo bays, plasma reactor, crew quarters, conveyor system, slave pits, subdecks, dock bay, etc, ect ,etc. The ship is split in half between the main back section and the forwards, weapons batteries section, only conected by a heavily defended corridor, preventing boarders to spread in the ship and allowing for contaiment.

Theres also a temple for our undying lord, the God Emperor of Mankind. You better use it you heretics

Enjoy the purging!
