Emperor-Class Battleship is a slow and complex flagship used by the Imperium Caelestis Navy and the Mechanicus Armada. This type of warship functions more like a hybrid between a command carrier and a full-fledged aircraft carrier, serving as the main hub for battlefield coordination and starfighter deployment.
It is also one of the oldest ship designs still in active service within the Imperium of Man in the Warhammer 40K universe. Unlike traditional armored prows, the Emperor-Class battleship is equipped with a massive array of sensor probes, forward-facing towers, and reconnaissance systems for long-range detection and strategic control.
In addition to its standard macro cannons and light lances, the ship also carries an impressive aerial assault force.
Weapon Systems:
2x Broadside weapon arrays (1 on each side), capable of delivering devastating salvos to enemies flanking the ship.
4x Carrier-based fighter launch platforms (2 on each side), able to deploy up to 8 squadrons of starfighters at once. These include Fury Interceptors, Starhawk Bombers, and other strike craft.
Aft and lateral turret arrays, with a total of 4 defense towers to provide 360-degree coverage against sudden ambushes.
Kenthelion studied the data on the Emperor-Class Battleship and nodded in satisfaction.
"This will do for now," he muttered.

Then, he spotted another listing in the system mall:
Battle Barge - Space Marine Warship
The term Battle Barge doesn't refer to a specific model or class, but rather a heavily modified and optimized capital ship configured for Astartes deployment. Battle Barges are ideal for planetary assaults and ship-to-ship boarding operations across galactic warzones.
Their main configuration is built for close-range fire support and rapid deployment. They are equipped with numerous bombardment cannons and torpedo tubes. Their massive hulls also include deployment bays for Thunderhawks, Drop Pods, and similar assault craft - capable of launching up to three full Space Marine companies in a single deployment wave.
At the same time, the battleship boasted thick armor plating and reinforced void shields, allowing it to breach planetary defenses without endangering the crew or the deadly payload it carried. This warship was truly a mobile fortress - a terrifying sight for any enemy who dared to stand in its path or attempt to join hostile factions.
After reviewing the extensive details of the battle barge, Kenthelion realized how much effort would be required to construct it.
He then turned his attention to escort warships - vessels that could serve both as protectors and troop transports.
In the Warhammer division, such escort-capable warships were rare, but Kenthelion didn't limit himself to Warhammer alone.
"We used to argue about this all the time in the forums before time-traveling became a thing," he thought with a smirk.
Stalwart-Class Frigate
Kenthelion spotted something promising in the system mall: the Stalwart-class Frigate from the HALO universe. A multi-role ship in the UNSC Navy, it was highly adaptable for low-intensity operations like escort missions and troop transport. In fleet engagements, it often served as a frontline escort and strike ship.
The Stalwart-class was a short, sturdy vessel whose firepower belied its size. Its main weapon was the heavy-duty Mark IV 94B1E6 Magnetic Accelerator Cannon, powered by 12 capacitor banks. This allowed it to unleash firepower comparable to two destroyers or a light cruiser.
However, due to its compact size, its ammo capacity was limited. As a result, it relied heavily on support from carrier platforms or orbital facilities during prolonged military operations.
For engaging high-value strategic targets, the Stalwart was equipped with an M4093 Hyperion nuclear missile system, featuring three nuclear warheads. The launch sequence took several minutes to fully prepare and execute.
Although not as powerful as a Warhammer-class destroyer, the Stalwart-class frigate was far more flexible - and significantly cheaper to produce.
Kenthelion began compiling a list of other warships from Warhammer, HALO, StarCraft, and other universes.
Kenthelion: "The warship construction system I've selected."
He waved his hand nonchalantly, as if it were nothing of importance.
System: "Release me, Host... how many have you killed?"
The system couldn't hold back its cry of shock upon witnessing the luxurious and powerful presence surrounding Kenthelion.
Kenthelion: "Not that many, really. It's pretty much the same as clearing waves in a game."
He responded with confident ease, as though his actions were no more than a digital campaign.
Kenthelion: "We still need to work hard to destroy their urban infrastructure."
Those words came from Kenthelion's mouth with chilling honesty. Deep down, he whispered to himself:
"They're not human, so I don't feel guilty."
On the planet Vortex Primus, there weren't just human slaves, but also countless alien captives. The planet was the closest to the Bloodmaw Empire's capital. For the Bloodmaw citizens, it was a popular tourist destination. And what could be more delightful than receiving a few human slaves as daily entertainment?
If Drek'nul slaughtered 200 million lives, Kenthelion went far beyond that. He committed genocide from planet to planet, wiping out approximately 10 trillion alien lives.
But in his mind, Kenthelion justified it all:
"I've made the greatest contribution to space reforestation in this second universe."
Don't think of killing aliens as something barbaric. Just imagine it's an assembly line-and you're the operator.
Or better yet... think of the aliens as nothing more than minerals and vespene gas from StarCraft II. Yeah, that makes more sense.
Originally, Kenthelion had no intention of going to such extremes. But after witnessing how aliens destroyed humans-leaving bodies scattered and families annihilated-he began to realize...
Maybe he'd been too conservative all along.
