Eisenstein

Eisenstein — an Imperial frigate on which ~70 loyal Death Guard under Battle-Captain Nathaniel Garro fled Isstvan III, making a desperate warp jump to carry to Terra the first warning of Horus’s betrayal. On board they fought the traitor Ignatius Grulgor and his men, who had turned into an incipient plague horror of Nurgle.
