Pestilaan-class Light Cruiser

Pestilaan-class light cruisers appear bloated and sluggish with tarnished, rusted metal, open sores scattered across the hull and odd organic protrusions. Such appearances belie the power of such a vessel, as its very diseased nature drives the energies that sustain both it and its crew. It is thought that the Pestilaan class is a long forgotton ancient light cruiser, upgunned and armoured at the price of speed. Most of the Pestilaan are thought to be once-proud vessels, now debased into unclean servitude after mutiny or capture by the Archenemy.

These vessels are resplendent with the very finest of sickness and diseases, to the point where any attempt to enter it is unthinkable. Attempts to board or conduct hit-and-run attacks on this vessel meet with a high degree of failure. The crews of these ships are all infected with horrific diseases. There is a very high percentage that some disease will be caught by the boarding party (usually Nurgle's Rot), and that their ship will suffer a long-term sickness which are highly virulent and difficult to cure.
