As a Bellerophon-class Heavy Assault Cruiser, the Iron Will had been built during the middle of the Great Crusade to provide the Imperial Fleet with a powerful platform for fire support and strategic deterrence.
Its design combined the most advanced technology of the time with the Imperium's military requirements, giving it excellent navigational performance, powerful weapons systems, and reliable defenses.
Studying the information about the Iron Will transmitted by the Ark Mechanicus, the Imperial Fleet had no choice but to handle this ship, lost for over ten thousand years, with extreme caution.
Its numerous macro-cannon batteries could cripple an unprepared Imperial battleship in a single broadside.
The Nova Cannon mounted at its prow could punch through the shields of a ship of the same class in an instant.
And judging by the changes to its exterior, the ship had evidently undergone further modifications after its delivery.
According to the records, in that glorious age, Ferrus Manus, Primarch of the Iron Hands Legion, had repeatedly modified ships delivered to his Legion to further enhance their combat capabilities.
This ship was clearly one of the many that the warriors of the Iron Hands Legion had refitted.
Some of the external structures in the standard design had been altered, with their decorative elements replaced by additional Missile launchers and small defensive autocannons.
For the Imperial patrol fleet, consisting of just one battleship, three cruisers, and a dozen or so destroyers and Frigate, the Adeptus Mechanicus had even thoughtfully included a table of projected outcomes for a possible confrontation.
The naval commander read the figures: a 22.41% chance of losing 42.33% of the fleet.
Within half a Terran hour, this heavy assault cruiser could turn every destroyer and Frigate into fireworks in the void.
Though destroyers and Frigate were not particularly important vessels, this
