More
A Gloriana of Perturabo’s own design, built in the shipyards of Olympia and lacking even bridge portholes — the primarch ordered void battle to be fought by auspex alone, despising visual contact. Counted among the largest command Glorianas alongside Vengeful Spirit, Hrafnkel and Conqueror. At the First Battle of Pluto, when the loyalists suddenly withdrew, an enraged Perturabo smashed the bridge consoles with his bare hands; at Tallarn the ship ripped through the loyalist Purity of Fire. At the Siege of Terra Perturabo directed the assault on the Palace from it, and after the siege failed departed aboard it; later Iron Blood carried the Iron Warriors to the Iron Cage as well, in which they had locked up the Imperial Fists.
Fate
Survived the Heresy; Perturabo was raised to Daemon Prince, and the ship remained with the Iron Warriors.
