Pride of the Emperor

Pride of the Emperor — a Gloriana-class ship, Fulgrim’s flagship, richly adorned, with a processional “Triumphal Way” and the domed council chamber “Heliopolis”. In the Laer campaign the ship is linked to the acquisition of the daemon blade that was Fulgrim’s undoing; at Isstvan V, when Fulgrim failed to sway Ferrus Manus, Pride of the Emperor crippled the Iron Hands’ flagship Fist of Iron as Fulgrim withdrew.
