Emperor's Fist - Inquisition Black Ship (40K)

Emperor's Fist's design is that of a modified Imperium of Man Cardinal-class Heavy Cruiser.

Constructed solely by the Adeptus Mechanicus of Mars and administered by the Inquisition, the so-called "Black Ships" are among the most secretive of warships currently in the service of the Imperium. Sometime in the distant past the Grand Masters of the Inquisition viewed the reliance upon Imperial Navy or Space Marine forces for transport, support and protection as unacceptable and a new vessel capable of independent action was required. Like their predecessors from ten millennia earlier, these Black Ships (so-called due to their somewhat sinister reputation). Usually operating alone or in conjunction with Imperial Navy or Space Marine Escorts, these vessels can serve as the core of a formidable battle group for dealing with rebellions or Heretic incursions.

The Black Ships are feared transports filled with mournful unsanctioned psykers held in cavernous, psi-shielded holds to be taken back to Terra to feed the voracious psychic appetite of the Emperor. Only those with the strength of mind to withstand the constant soul-numbing despair produced by the captured psykers that permeates a Black Ship may crew it, so mentally traumatic is such duty. These psykers will become either officially sanctioned psykers trained to serve the Imperium in a variety of capacities or they will be bound and sacrificed to the Emperor, their lives snuffed out to maintain the telepathic beacon of the Astronomican that the Emperor's mind produces in the Immaterium to guide all Imperial interstellar transport and commerce.
