Strike Cruiser

A strike cruiser is the second major type of starship usually deployed by the Chapter fleets of the Adeptus Astartes. While a Space Marine Chapter only rarely will deploy the might of a powerful and usually quite ancient battle barge, Adeptus Astartes strike cruisers are a more common sight, though anything to do with the Space Marines is still a rare event in the galaxy. Often the arrival of a Space Marine strike cruiser is enough to quell the defiance of a star system rebelling against the Emperor.
