The Kingmaker
- The Kingmaker, Overlord-class Battlecruiser
Martial Hubris: The ship has a glorious legacy of warfare and triumphant battles. It is always eager to fight, and unwilling to back down. The ship gains +5 to all Ballistic Skill tests to fire its weapons, but suffers -15 to any Pilot (Spacecraft) tests made to escape combat.
Death Cult: Amongst the low-decks indentured crew, strange perversions of the Imperial Creed have arisen, glorifying death to celebrate the Emperor. Reduce crew population permanently by 8. However, reduce morale loss from any source by 2, due to the crew’s unwavering faith. Additionally, ship officers and members of the Munitorum will have to deal warily with the cult and its leaders. Death cults do produce skilled assassins…
