Terminus Est

Terminus Est — a unique daemon-ship of pre-Crusade design, one of the first capital ships of the Death Guard; chosen by Mortarion as flagship for the march on Terra (though it remained Typhus’s ship). In the void war of the Siege of Terra it took part in the destruction of the Emperor’s flagship Imperator Somnium, was heavily damaged by its explosion (the same explosion crippled Conqueror), then covered the Death Guard’s retreat into the Eye of Terror.
