Description
The Gloriana-class Battleship was a massive class of Imperial Battleship constructed during the height of the Great Crusade that was operational from the late 30th into the early 31st Millennium. Only 20 of these formidable Battleships were ever constructed, and each of these mighty vessels was unique in both form and armament.

During the Great Crusade each individual Space Marine Legion acquired at least one such vessel which inevitably became the Legion's flagship, utilised by their respective Primarchs. This role was due to these warships' incredible array of firepower, which allowed them to single-handedly batter entire fleets or recalcitrant planets into submission. These warships were far larger than any other known class of Imperial vessel, with the two exceptions of the mobile star-fortress known as the Phalanx used by the Imperial Fists Legion and the Abyss-class Battleships unleashed by the Word Bearers Traitor Legion during the Horus Heresy.
