GC MARK OF DESTINY
Vengeance-class. Light lances and powerful long-range batteries.
Part of the 66th Grand Cruiser Division.
GC WARPATH
Repulsive-class grand cruiser. This class came late and is seen as a precursor to modern battlecruiser designs. It is slightly smaller and much leaner than most grand cruisers. Armed with a balanced mix of weapons.
Part of the 66th Grand Cruiser Division (lead ship).
GC LINEBREAKER
Avenger-class Grand Cruiser. Insanely powerful, but relatively short-ranged broadsides.
Part of the 66th Grand Cruiser Division
GC TRIUMPHANT
Avenger-class Grand Cruiser. Insanely powerful, but relatively short-ranged broadsides.
Captured over Valpolicella.
CA LORD HAX
Lunar-class. Part of the Fenksword defensive squadron. The ship and her crew (captain included) defected at Guytoga - a result of years of subversion.
The captain brought with him military plans and codes for the 6th Circle of Finial.
Commander: Captain Victor
CA PRIDE OF CANOPUS
Lunar-class. Belonged to the Fenksworld squadron. Captured over Guytoga by the 1st Company.
BB CARTHAGE
Retribution-class vessel. The ship is in very good condition and has a very skilled crew.
Flagship of Admiral von Graves' task force.
BB FIST OF THE FAITHFUL
Imperial Retribution-class battleship. Captured relatively intact by a massed Astartes boarding action over Valpolicella.
Manned by a mixture of pirate prize crews and press-ganged Imperials; currently not a very battle-worthy mix, but it looks very promising in the long run.
CLS ENDLESS NIGHT
Astartes Strike Cruiser. Home to the Cult of the Night Without End (Obliterators).
Supreme Domina Kimery
Leader of the Daughters of the Word. Formerly an acolyte of the Inquisition. Turned by Castor.
CA PHATEON
The Phateon is the newest Gothic-class cruiser in von Graves' inventory, a vessel that's a mere two hundred years old. Despite her young age the ship suffers from chronic technical malfunctions; her tech-priests claim that once the ship becomes older and wiser, her humours will even out.
Part of Admiral von Graves' fleet.
CA AMPHION
The Gothic-class cruiser Amphion is the sister ship of the Zethus (a vessel known to be operating in the Calixis sector). Both vessels contain numerous upgrades, including improved, long-range lances. Unfortunately Amphion's dwindling number of resident tech-priests have been unable to properly maintain all her tech-mysteries, making her little more than any other Gothic-class.
She is part of Admiral von Graves' renegade fleet.
Formation and affiliation bonuses
Ships that work together with other ships over time will gain a bonus to their effectiveness. Adding new ships will upset the balance for a while, until the new ships can be properly integrated.
This applies to squadrons (i.e. escorts), divisions (i.e. capital ships), and task forces (capitsl w/escorts).
Example: The destroyers of Lion's Pride gain a squadron bonus when operating together.
Example: The cruisers of 2nd CruDiv gain a division bonus when operating together.
Example: BatDiv 1 and Fuires Sqd gain a TF bonus when operating together.
Ships from the same affiliation also gain a slight bonus when operating together. If ships from hostile affiliation are placed together it will likewise hamper the formation.
Example: The ships that came with Admiral von Graves gain a bonus when working together.
