BATTLECRUISER

by Keith McCallig

VOLCANO CLASS LIGHT CRUISER

120 POINTS

The Volcano is designed to escort heavy cruisers and battleships where a high likelyhood of small craft attacks are expected.  The ship itself is a highly modified Dauntless with the prow lances replaced with a small twin torpedo launch bay and the weapon batteries refitted to fire cluster munitions at point blank range.  The ship's main feature is the extra point defense weapons.  Mounted all over the hull, these weapons are designed purely with the mission of destroying small craft in mind and have proven very effective, earning a wary respect from Chaos pilots.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES:
The weapon batteries use special cluster munitions which give them a better damage potential against small craft and torpedoes.  When shooting at ordnance, you get an extra column shift to the left.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES:
The Interdictor Tractor Beam is a specialist weapon used to slow down or stop enemy vessels that try to escape from the battle zone. In order to use the ITB, nominate the target and roll to hit. On a 4, 5, or 6 the enemy ship is captured in the ITB and locked. The enemy ship may no longer make turns, and can only move at half normal speed (rounding up). At the end of the turn, the Interdictor must make a leadership roll. If the roll fails, immediately roll on the critical hits table. If the result involves the armament (regardless of location), then the ITB is disabled and the enemy ship is free from its affects.

NOTES:

During the Gothic War several battles were fought around the planet Naxos. The vast asteroid belts surrounding the planets in the system were home to vast mining operations and control of the system would be a great boon to whichever side controlled them. The Regulator was to play a vital role in their defence.

Over 800 years previous to the Gothic war a naval commander called Admiral Rafter had commanded the Defence of this planet against a huge Ork Waaaagggggghhh. Knowing that the Orks were about to drop on the system in huge numbers he planned a hit and run battle using the asteroid belts for cover. This suited most of the Imperial fleet well but he realised that some of his heavier ships would find their range advantage wasted in the tight confines of the belts. He therefore had some of them refitted, including his own Overlord Class Battlecruiser "Ahabs Revenge". The Broadsides of the vessel were re-equipped with medium range batteries capable of firing much heavier volleys. Also to guard against the ever present threat of Ork fighta Bombers extra gun turrets were fitted to cover almost every avenue of possible attack. Thus Re-equipped the vessel was to claim no less than six Ork-Croozers and eleven escorts over the two month campaign. Not a single Ork fighter managed to launch successfully on her and she has remained on duty guarding the Naxos system ever since.

During the Gothic War Chaos attacked Naxos and when they could not win through tried to blockade the system. Unfortunately for them, another Regulator, "The Naxos Pride", had been manufactured since the previous ork invasion and the two battlecruisers were to prove a considerable hindrance to their plans. Emerging from the belts, the twin battlecruisers would descend in hit and run attacks on weak points in the Chaos blockade. With Dauntless Light Cruisers and Escort Vessels in Support they would open holes that allowed vast amounts of supplies and damaged ships in as well as raw materials and repaired vessels out. Though Abaddon was to order no less than five full scale assaults during the seven years of the Blockade none was ever successful.

After the Chaos attacks on the Gothic sector were driven off the Imperial Navy recognised the success or the Regulators and their crews by conferring "STC' status on the design. It is now a "Standard Template" rated ship and is being produced in small numbers for use in similar situations, especially in the Gothic sector where the ships exploits are widely revered.
