re: #190 Varek Raith

Specs?

The Battle Barge is the largest Space Marine warship and is configured for close support of planetary landings, carrying numerous bombardment turrets and torpedo tubes. Most chapters control two or three Battle Barges designed to deploy a fighting force to planets in a rapid fashion. Large amounts of space are designed to hold launch bays for intrasystem craft and drop pods allowing up to three companies to deploy simultaneously. The vessel is extremely heavily armored and well-shielded for breaching planetary defenses while also protecting its cargo. It is also a dangerous enemy, especially with boarding actions but also contains enough firepower to destroy all but the most powerful of warships. Battle Barges are some of the most powerful ships the Imperium has at its disposal, due to both the power of the ships and their contents.

Average length is between 4.5-5 miles long. Most are fitted with cyclonic torpedoes to conduct Exterminatus missions when necessary.
