Shadow of the Emperor — a Gloriana-class ship with a “Reflex Shield”, flagship of Corvus Corax, answering the legion’s stealth doctrine. At the Drop Site Massacre on Isstvan V, when the traitors sprang the trap, Calas Typhon’s Terminus Est treacherously destroyed the unprepared Shadow of the Emperor, sending its burning hull into the void — one of the heaviest losses of the Raven Guard and the root of their feud with the Death Guard.
