Victory Class Battleship

Imperial Victory-class Battleship

Four Victory-class Battleships met the threat of the Tyranid Hive Fleet Behemoth, the Victory, Argus, Conqueror, and Hammer of Scaro. In its internal layout, the Victory-class resembles the Imperial Retribution-class Battleships and possibly this design is the product of grafting Lance weapons systems onto a Retribution template in an attempt to replicate the successful Apocalypse-class Battleship. The Techno-magi of Mars refuse all requests for access to their records, so the origin of this class remains unclear. The Conqueror particularly distinguished itself during the Great Crusade in the late 30th Millennium to enlighten the galaxy with the Emperor's light after the Age of Strife. The Conqueror led the fleet that cleansed the Stabulo System of the deviants that polluted the Sector Tempestus. The Hammer of Scaro was rebuilt with prow torpedoes instead of its Nova Cannon after receiving severe damage ramming the Ork Space Hulk Gungedrinka at the Battle of Lexus.
