Talk:Abyss-class Battleship

Revision by Algrim Whitefang
Ave Algrim,

regarding the modifications you made on this article, the wreck encountered by the Charbydis can’t be the Furious Abyss. There are several indications for this being not so:

1) Deathfire p.151 "Whatever had befallen this behemot, little more than a shell remained. Through one hall, entire battle companies of legionaries were locked in combat, flah-frozen during a final engagement." The wreck died through pitched battle, a major engagement while the Abyss was destroyed by elite kill-team infiltration.

2) Deathfire p.152 Zytos looked on grimly at the bodies that kept showing up on the visuals. Amongst the ded of the XIII and XVII, he saw iron and raven -black, even drake-green. Not all legionaries who had reached Ultramar got as far as Macragge." More evidence this can not be the Abyss, there were neither Iron Warriors nor Salamanders involved in the boarding of the Abyss.

3) Deathfire p.152 "Some miracles had no heroic finale, they merely ended in death. Dreadnoughts and the shells of Legiones Astartes gunships thickened the grisly thrnh with bulk and mass." Further proof, the assault on the Abyss was conducted by boarding torpedo and no Dreadnought fouht on the side of the Loyalists.

My guess is it is the Trisagion which was attacked by the Ultramarines in attempt to kill Lorgar, they already destroyed the Fidelitas Lex at Nuceria so why not continue? However as there is no evidence on the matter I have not included it in my revision of the article.

So if you could simply revert your changes to what I’ve said it should be ok. Thanx,
