BFG - Imperial Navy - Cruiser, OPPRESSOR-class

The Oppressor was the first vessel of its class; it was constructed from the hulk of a dictator class which had had much of its prow

and its forward weapons batteries destroyed by a fleet of Ork pirates. Numerous factors led to Arch Magos Toddius Kraines decision to

create a new class rather than merely repair the damaged ship, the main one being the presence of pre constructed lances at the space statio

Conavis III that the damaged dictator had been towed to. With unprecedented spontaneity the Arch Magos also requisitioned a newly bui

nova cannon from the nearby world of Tralis, and, to incorporate the power needs this would create, he personally oversaw the modificatio

of the power conduits and led the prayers to the machine god over each relays instalment.

The inherent efficiency in refitting the Oppressor to battle ready status within just 3 months was the major factor behind MagosKraines defence at his subsequent trial by the Mechanicus for "misappropriation" of military hardware. The Oppressors early record of

successful actions exonerated him and led to intense studies in to perfecting and standardizing the new class design.

Extensive testing of the ships systems brought up considerable questions regarding the ships power relays, even with their

substantially improved construction, when the nova cannon was used the pressure on the relays was critical and recommendation for a furt

more extensive upgrade of the ships power grid was made.

Unfortunately the upgrade was never carried out. In its next action the Oppressor was ambushed by the Bloodied Blade, a

slaughterer class cruiser and its attendant escort, while its own escorts were conducting long range patrols. In a tense battle the Bloodied

Blade was forced to disengage, under pressure from the Oppressors attack craft. However, when the Oppressor attempted to fire its nova

cannon at the fleeing heretics the power relays shorted out. The powerless ship took heavy fire before the returning imperial escort squadr

drove off the heretic ships. Upon its return to dock the ships nova cannon was found to be damaged beyond repair and over half its attack

craft lost.

With such a humiliating defeat and as the only ship of its type the Oppressor class future looked dim. It was the truly heartfelt p

of the ships captain and those others who had served with the Oppressor, backed up by its impressive record of victories, wh ich ensured t

new class survival. The ship was refitted with torpedoes in its prow and with its power relays alleviated of the strain of the nova cannon t

range of its lances was increased. Few of these ships have been commissioned in the centuries since, and none have benefited from the

enhanced relays the class namesake was gifted with, however the few ships of this class continue to serve with distinction and, when back

up with escorts, excel in long range patrols and planetary assaults where their attack craft can tip the tide of any battle.

Adeptus Arbites - Cruiser-Light, PUNISHER-class Interdiction Strike CruiserBlackstone.Outpost10F.c

While the Imperial Navy and the Adeptus Astartes fight the wars of the 41st millennium, the forces of the Adeptus Arbites take o

more subtle but no less important role. They are the police, the hand of justice in Imperial space. Not only do the Arbites operate planets

but they also possess some naval forces with which to hunt down small pirate bands and other petty criminals.

The Arbites Punisher class strike cruiser is a policing vessel which is used to provide local system security, to quell small rebellio

in nearby systems, and to root out pirate bases. The design of the Punisher is very similar to that of its Space Marine strike cruiser equiva

Much of the design is similar, with the exception of the more typical Imperial prow, which (to the untrained eye) can give the Punisher the

appearance of a Dauntless light cruiser. There is also slightly less armor plating on the ship's engine ports compared to its Astartes

counterpart.

During the Gothic War, the Inviolable Retribution, under the command of Arbitrator Jamahl Byzantine, provided invaluable

assistance in the evacuation of the Imperial world of Belatis. Arbitrators Byzantine and Korte, along with the crew of the Lord Solar

Macharius went above and beyond the call of duty to rescue Captain Leoten Semper and several loyal Imperial citizens.

Special Rules: Adeptus Arbites ships are rare compared to their naval counterparts, and rarely participate in joint fleet actions. An

Imperial player may take one Punisher for every 1000 points. It would be appropriate for a corresponding scenario or subplot to be used t

explain its appearance.

The Punisher class strike cruiser carries regular Imperial torpedoes as well as barrage bombs. Arbites vessels are also supplied with a

single salvo of melta torpedoes. Rules for these and other special torpedoes are provided on page 4 of Warp Storm. Remember, if the

Punisher receives a prow critical hit, the melta torpedoes (if they have not yet been fired) will detonate causing D3 fire critical hits to the

Punisher itself. This ship may not make any further rolls on the special torpedoes table.

The Punisher class strike cruiser has been designed with the intent of scanning the surrounding star system to root out pirates and here

strong holds. As a result of this, Arbites vessels benefit from an improved sensor array. When any enemy is on special orders, Arbites

vessels receive +2 bonus to their leadership instead of the usual +1.

Barrage bombs, the bombardment cannon, and special drop pods make the Punisher quite adept at assaulting planetary targets. When

assaulting a planet, the Punisher is worth 1 assault point. The Punisher receives a +1 in all boarding actions (not hit and run attacks) becathe Arbites excel at close quarters fighting and cleansing enemy strongholds.

The Punisher has limited attack craft capability for the purposes of defense and advance scouting. It can launch squadrons of Arbites

Eagle Interceptors. The ships only carry fighters, and do not have the facilities to service and launch bombers or assault boats.
