Hellbringer-class Light Cruiser

The Hellbringer-class light cruiser Planetary Assault Ship is a possible local adaptation of an existing warship, or possibly a new design constructed in the Expanse and based on other infamous designs used by Chaos reavers. Whatever the case, the crews of Hellbringers live for one purpose - pillaging planetary civilizations, be they the lackey worshipers of the False Emperor, xenos aliens of unknown origin, or even other followers of the Dark Powers. Arriving at unsuspecting systems, these vessels can launch overwhelming attacks from both their shipboard weaponry as well as via multitude of assault craft. Once the surface is bombarded into near submission, the skies are filled with landing boats, quickly overwhelming any opposition as they round up captives for the slave market, looting any valuables for later trade, and then departing before help can arrive. It is rarer but not unheard for them to attack void installations they find undefended, bringing such destruction that the gutted stations are generally left as hulks. No matter the target, the arrival of a Hellbringer can only spell doom.
