SPACE MARINE VESSELS

The Hunter-class destroyer, although based on a design long available to almost all Space Marine chapters, was pioneered primarily by the Dark Angels, whose deep distrust of other factions within the Imperial hierarchy made acquisition of vessels from shipyards and forgeworlds far more problematic than for most other chapters. As such, the Dark Angels chose the Hunter-class destroyer as the most viable counterpart to the Imperial Navy’s Cobra and maintains large flotillas of the vessel in all their battlefleets.

Mass: 5.2 megatonnes, approx.
Crew: 18,500 crew, approx.

Of all the vessels in the service of the Adeptus Astartes, the Nova-class frigate is commonly the single class to which the Imperial navy takes the most exception. It lacks sufficient size to really fulfill the deployment and assault roles for which Space Marine ships are primarily intended and its lance armament an speed make it a menacing gunboat in its own right. As such, the Nova remains rare in most Space Marine fleets, a trend the Imperial Navy, the Inquisition, and other institutions perpetually concerned by the balance of power would dearly love to see continue.

Nova-class Frigate
Hull Type: Frigate
Dimensions: 1.5km long, 0.62km abeam at fins approx.

Invariably the Gladius is the most numerous escort within a chapter-fleet, being one of the few escorts in relatively uniform usage across the chapters. The vessel, although larger than any genuine gunboats likely to be in use, is relatively small by Space Marine standards, seldom carrying mush more that a single squad of Space Marines who are invariably spread across its decks and control centers supervising the much more numerous chapter serfs upon whom the chapter relies for actual operation of its vessels. As such, the Gladius lacks the genuine punch of other Space Marine vessels, and is of little use in their favored planetary assaults, but instead earns itself an admirable place as the foremost ship of the line when it comes to more mundane border patrols and deep space blockades.

Gladius-class Frigate
Hull Type: Frigate

While a Space Marine Chapter only rarely employs the might of its battle barges, Adeptus Astartes strike cruisers are a more common, although still rare, sight. Often the arrival of a Space Marine strike cruiser is enough to quell a rebellious system. The Space Marines are quick to act if their enemies’ surrender is not immediately forthcoming.

Strike cruisers are fast, lightly-armed vessels which mass slightly less than the Imperial Navy’s Dauntless-class light cruisers. Their primary function seems to be that of rapid response, reports indicating that they are invariably the first craft to arrive at a threatened planet.

Strike cruisers appear to carry approximately one full company of space Marines (including support vehicles) and have been observed to deploy them with in twenty minutes of arrival in orbit.

Like Battlebarges, strike cruisers do not represent a single class of vessel, or specific configurations of weapons and systems, but rather represent a broad range of different Space Marine vessels used for largely similar tasks. Strike cruisers, first and foremost need to be swift vessels, with a substantial transport capacity and various means of delivering those troops (be that a mixture of teleporters, drop pods, or launch bays equipped with Thunderhawks). Within these parameters, strike cruisers can, and do, take a variety of forms.

The Grey Knights, perhaps the most secretive and unusual chapter of all, have their base within the Solar System itself, within easy striking distance of Mars and hence their strike cruises are sleek vessels, utilizing quite simply the most advanced systems available, even by Space Marine standards. Other chapters, too, possess widely different forms of strike cruiser, each shaped by centuries of tradition and varying doctrine amongst the chapters of the Adeptus Astartes.

Most Space Marine Chapters control two or three battle barges. They are very brutal vessels, with only one purpose behind their design. As might be expected, a battle barge, is configured for close support of planetary landings and carries numerous bombardment turret and torpedo tubes. A considerable amount of hull space is given over to launch bays for intra-system craft and drop pods, observations indicating that up to three companies can deploy simultaneously. The vessel is extremely heavily armored and well shielded, presumably so that it can breach planetary defenses without harm coming to its cargo. Naturally the battle barge would make a frightening opponent in any situation where boarding is involved.
