Gloriana-class Battleship

On the Void Hunter, Nimrod, along with Arsena Dunn and Diana Boleyn, stood in front of the observation window, looking at the enormous creature that was getting closer and closer in the distance.

Every warship in the Mars Shipyard and Starport pales in comparison to it; it is more powerful and formidable than any other warship.

"It is truly a perfect creation; it is perfect, possessing destructive power."

Diana's blue-green eyes were fixed on the giant ship in the void, her eyes gleaming with excitement as she spoke.

"It resembles a colossal whale emerging from the water, or a heavy, black halberd."

Following Nimrod's instructions relayed to Mars by Rosicky, the entire Gloriana-class Battleship was painted black.

Its back was covered with over a thousand defensive towers and engine shields resembling hills, while its belly gleamed with the light of world-destroying weapons.

It has enormous, pear-shaped rams and an engine pack the size of a city.

The Gloriana-class Battleship is one of the most powerful warships ever built by the Imperium. Its hull is protected by multiple layers of Void Shield, and its surface armor is also very thick, enabling it to withstand heavy artillery fire while still maintaining its combat capability.

In the Astartes Legion, the Gloriana-class Battleship typically serve a dual role as both fleet flagship and Primarch ship.

Diana felt an immense sense of honor at the thought of piloting this powerful warship across the stars as the commander of the flagship of the 33rd Expedition Fleet, serving the Primarch.

This was more inspiring than when she wiped out the Xenos pirates and received recognition for her achievements.

Moments later, the Void Hunter docked at the starport.

Nimrod stepped off the deck and was immediately greeted by the Mars Sage in a red robe, with Rosicky Czech standing beside him, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The Tech Sergeant wore black armor, with Mars markings branded on his shoulders.

A Sage in a red robe approached Nimrod, and a hoarse voice rang out from the Sonic Array synthesizer.

"Requesting the exchange of information regarding the Eleventh Legion's delivery obligations."

"Permit."

Rosicky's left eye was modified into a mechanical prosthetic eye. He exchanged glances with the Mars Sage, then jointly emitted a series of high-frequency binary signals. Afterward, they both lowered their heads in satisfaction.

"Gene Primarch, your warship is now complete. At this time, Mars can deliver the stipulated //construction//responsibilities to you. Confirm whether you accept//receive the warship."

"Delivery is permitted."

Nimrod began, and Rosicky once again performed binary authentication with the Sage.

A moment later, the Sage bowed to Nimrod before taking his leave.

Rosicky walked up to Nimrod. "Father, I have completed my studies on Mars."

"From this day forward, you are the Lord of the Forge, commanding all Tech Sergeant."

"Father, I will do my best and not let you down."

"Let's go see my flagship."

Rosicky spoke up, "Father, please come with me."

He then led the way and began his introduction.

"This Gloriana-class Battleship is 28.11 kilometers long and weighs 170.33 trillion tons."

Nimrod slightly. Robert Guilliman's Macragge's Honour was 26 kilometers long, and his flagship was 28 kilometers long, both of which were considered large among the Primarch.

"The required crew is approximately 309,100, with an estimated 103,000 aircrew and support personnel."

Nimrod nodded slightly and asked the female commander behind him.

"Diana, are you ready?"

The female commander's blue-green eyes gleamed with excitement as she spoke confidently.

"My lord, I am ready."

Nimrod followed Rosicky into the Gloriana-class Battleship and headed towards the command bridge.

As they ascended in the elevator, their view showed decks rising one after another along the curved inner wall, with black metal columns supporting the entire vaulted building.

Stepping out of the elevator, one is greeted by an astonishingly large bulletproof glass ceiling.

In the core area of the bridge, holographic projections flashed on five strategic tables, respectively displaying scenes from the Mars berth and the Sol System.

The overhead Lumen Lamp rotated slowly, illuminating countless monitors and lenses around them.

"Father, please take a seat."

Rosicky turned to Nimrod and said.

Nimrod walked toward the black alloy throne prepared for him. After the Primarch sat down, Diana spoke.

"Primarch, you should name this ship."

"The Shadow of the Throne"

After a moment's thought, Diana immediately understood the meaning behind it.

"The name you've chosen for this ship is most fitting, my lord. You are the Monarch of Vostonia, and your legion is named 'Shadow of Order.'"

Since being chosen as the captain of the flagship, Diana has used this time to collect and read everything she could find about the Primarch and the Eleventh Legion.

Nimrod landed in Vostonia, unified the world of Homeworld, and became its the Monarch, renaming the "Reapers" the "Shadow of Order."

Diana immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Nimrod's name and praised it.

"The Shadow of the Throne, a match for your flagship."

"Since the captain also thinks it's appropriate, then begin to fulfill your responsibilities."

As you wish.

Diana bowed in response, then, wearing black high-heeled boots, walked more briskly than usual to her workbench.

The captain picked up the communicator and skillfully located the ship's command channel.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the first captain of this Gloriana-class Battleship, which has just been named the Primarch by the Shadow of the Throne."

"I'm very happy to be able to work with everyone in the future."

"Please prepare your presentations. I will be in the conference room in three hours to hear your reports."

Seeing that Diana was decisive and efficient in taking over the Shadow of the Throne, Nimrod spoke to Rosicky.

"Take me to the palace."

"Father, please come with me."

Nimrod took the elevator to his palace.

After exiting the elevator, a covered bridge appeared in front of the Primarch.

The interior of the covered bridge is ornately decorated, with soaring vaulted ceilings, resembling the main hall of a cathedral, solemn and majestic.

Nimrod stopped and spoke to the members of the Honor Guard.

"From now on, this place will be under your responsibility."

The Honor Guard stood tall and responded in unison.

"Yes, Father."

Nimrod then said to Rosicky, "Wait outside for five minutes, then come in."

A moment later, Rosicky Czech, now promoted to "Archaeologist," bowed and spoke.

"Father, I will do my utmost to fulfill my responsibilities Lord of the Forge and the 'Archaeologist'."

Three days later, Hollis of the First Chapter and Bradshaw of the 11th Chapter were ordered to go to the Luna.

The proposals submitted by the two Shadow of Order have been approved by Nimrod, and they will be responsible for training the Terran-born recruits of the Eleventh Legion.

Horus did not send any of his sons to the Luna to train new soldiers; Nimrod was the first, which naturally attracted widespread attention.

Just as many forces, including the "Selena Gene Cult," were focusing their attention on the two Shadow of Order, fifty members of the Treasure Hunter Squad took the opportunity to infiltrate the Luna.

Two months later, the six Chapter, which had been ordered to the mission, arrived in the Sol System.

The Primarch held a meeting to discuss plans to conquer the Orb Weaver League.
