The darkness of space was rent asunder and a twenty kilometer starship, looking like an entire hive had somehow launched itself into space, tore through the purple bruise of the warp rift and reentered real space. The Nightborne Conqueror, a midnight blue Battle Barge with bronze edgings, dropped it's Gellar field and ignited its thick layers of void shields as it powered in system towards the vulnerable planets. The soap bubble of it's voids were strong enough to resist the Nightborne Conqueror flying through the corona of a star without weakening and even if they did fail the Battle Barge's armored hull could resist shells the size of mainline battle tanks hurled against it without cracking. The ship's own weapons, macro cannons the size of sky scrapers and lance batteries that could pierce the thickest adamantium armor were designed to pummel entire worlds into submission with the threat of utter destruction. A major cities worth of spires and cathedrals blistered the leviathan's back and it's super massive engines burned with cherry red volcanic power as it propelled the Battle Barge towards it's victims. The Nightborne Conqueror, a Heresy-era artifact of high technology once belonging to the Night Lords Legion now housed a vicious warband of Heretics and corrupted Astartes, reentering Imperial space to raid, pillage, and fulfill their darkest ambitions.
