Though not as powerful as a battleship, cruisers are faster and can hit hard when working in teams. The main firepower of a fleet will be in its complement of cruisers.
Although very powerful, battleships are slow and ponderous. These form the heart of most Imperial Battle Fleets. The fleets are usually made three distinct types of ships: battleships, cruisers and escorts though several reports have it that far more powerful variants of moon or planet sized drednoughts, warbastions, and star forts exist in huge secret fleet reserves or at notable fleets like Battlefleet Terra or exterminatus fleets.īattleships are huge ships, with enormous amounts of weapons and shields, and are usually the command position for the Admiral of the Fleet. The total number of ships they possess are astronomical, with almost 300 trillions in Port Maw alone. These fleets generally have the task of safeguarding the sector after which they are named, for example Battlefleet Gothic will be protecting the Gothic Sector. The Imperial Navy is split into an infinite amount of war fleets. While the Imperial Guard is responsible for the Imperium's ground forces, The Imperial Navy is responsible for the fleets of warships that soar between the stars and planets in the Imperium as well as engaging threats both inside and outside the Imperium's borders.
The Imperial Navy is one of the armed forces employed by the Imperium.
