Emasculator-class Cruiser

Many Imperial Naval officers see the Emasculator-class cruiser as something of a failed experiment in combining weapons batteries with lances on a single ship and point to their own Lunar-class Cruiser as a superior to the Emasculator, with its stengthened frontal armour and torpedoes, but in a brawl the Emasculator starts to show its strength. The longer range of its weaponry over the Lunar-class puts it in a medium range for engagement for a start and by the time a Lunar manages to close with the Emasculator, its prow weapons will add to its firepower, making it a centre for raw firepower in the Chaos Fleet. For reasons yet to be unearthed, the Emasculator was first seen in great numbers within Slaaneshi fleets, though its use has slowly started to spread to fleets belonging to other powers.
