The Zenith Gunship, often called simply the Zenith, was an Imperial gunship specialised for ground attack that was deployed by the Legio Custodes in the Horus Heresy, where it saw heavy action during the Siege of Terra in defence of the Imperial Palace from the Warmaster Horus' Traitor forces of Chaos.
The Zenith was armed with missiles and a Rotor Cannon.
