Heard that the orbital defence platforms are performing superbly, keeping the enemy at bay. Taking the Long Knives to engage the few enemy craft that have broken through.  \nTAW plus 1:58: First enemies engaged. Joined the Distant Stars in a sweep of sector 8729 by 31. Fourteen confirmed kills, 8 probables. No losses on our side.  \nThe Apocalypse class is an ancient design  \nthat is generally believed to have been the precursor of the Retribution class battleship millennia ago. The superior technologies used to construct the multiple lance turrets on the Apocalypse have now all but been forgotten and so the small number of examples of this ship can never be replaced. The loss of even one will always be keenly felt. It has been theorised by Naval strategists that the vessel was specifically created to counter the ever-growing numbers of battleshipsand grand cruisers that attempted to lead Chaos raiding fleets from within the Eye of Terror. In this duty, the Apocalypse has proved itself to be everything the Imperial Navy could have wished for.  \nThe rows of fearsome lance armament along the broadsides of the Apocalypse are its most distinctive feature. It has been noted that these lance arrays are fully capable of operating at much greater ranges by an engineering process that greatly increases the load-bearing capabilities of their main power relays. However, the array conduits themselves become notoriously unreliable when stressed this far and runaway power drains can easily start to sap energy from the ship’s main drives, making the Apocalypse sluggish in the midst of battle. Thus, almost all existing Apocalypse class battleships keep their lance armament limited to medium ranges. Most Segmentum fleets have at least a few examples of the Apocalypse still in battleworthy condition, though their numbers are gradually dwindling.  \nFAMOUS SHIPS OF THE THIRD ARMAGEDDON WAR His Will Triumph  \nVESSELS OF THE IMPERIUM  \nIMPERIAL OBERON CLASS BATTLESHIP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 335 pts  \n| \u003Cbr>TYPE/HITS SPEED TURNS SHIELDS ARMOUR TURRETS\u003Cbr>Battleship/12 15cm 45° 4 5+ 5\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>ARMAMENT RANGE/SPEED FIREPOWER/STR FIRE ARC\u003Cbr>Port launch bays Furies: 30cm 2 squadrons –\u003Cbr>Starhawks: 20cm |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Starboard launch bays | Furies: 30cm\u003Cbr>Starhawks: 20cm | 2 squadrons | – |\n| Port weapons battery | 60cm | 6 | Left |\n| Starboard weapons battery | 60cm | 6 | Right |\n| Port lance battery | 60cm | 2 | Left |\n| Starboard lance battery | 60cm | 2 | Right |\n| Prow weapons battery | 45cm | 5 | Left/Front/Right |\n| Dorsal weapons battery | 45cm | 5 | Left/Front/Right |\n\nNotes: The Oberon class battleship cannot be given Come to New Heading special orders. Like the Emperor class, the Oberon dispenses with the normal armoured prow and instead carries a mass of sensor probes that it uses to direct its attack craft to the enemy. This also adds +1 to its Leadership rating.
