Sisypheum

Sisypheum — a heavily modified Iron Hands strike cruiser that escaped the Drop Site Massacre on Isstvan V and became the most famous raider of the Shattered Legions. On Cavor Sarta its crew stole the Kryptos; at Iydris it interrupted Fulgrim’s ascension (Nykona Sharrowkyn temporarily killed Lucius). In the final raid on Luna for the Magna Mater the crew perished one after another against the Justaerin of the Sons of Horus.
