Overlord

The Overlord is an Imperial aircraft that is used as the primary gunship and assault transport by the forces of the Primaris Space Marines. It was created by the forges of Mars as one of the new designs of Adeptus Astartes vehicles and weapons created by Archamgos Dominus Belisarius Cawl. It is unknown whether Cawl incorporated recently recovered ancient technology to produce the design, or whether it emerged from his own mind as part of his radical turn towards the former heresy known as "innovation."

The Overlord is intended to serve a role for the Primaris Space Marines similar to that of the earlier Astartes Stormbird or Thunderhawk, and is capable of powered flight in both the void and in-atmosphere. It possesses five powerful plasma engines and a twin hull resilient enough to permit an orbital insertion under fire with its cargo of Primaris Space Marines. The Overlord also possesses a similarity to the Corvus Blackstar in that it possesses two large transport bays outfitted with assault doors intended to make it even easier for Primaris Astartes to rapidly exit the aircraft after it touches down under fire in a combat zone. Unlike its predecessors among Adeptus Astartes air assets, the Overlord makes use of consierably more advanced technology, including the ability to deploy its own Void Shields for enhanced protection.

Armament
The Overlord is armed with anti-munitions cannons intended to provide counterfire against incoming enemy assaults, has a nose-mounted Melta Cannon, Desolator Lascannons mounted on its wings and Heavy Bolters affixed on pylons beneath its wings.

Transport Capacity
The Overlord can transport up to 40 Primaris Space Marines or standard Space marines. During the Battle of Adrium of the Indomitus Crusade, a single Overlord was known to transport one standard Astartes and 39 Primaris Space Marines, some of whom were also wearing the more space-hungry Mark X Gravis Pattern Power Armour.
