Gothic-Class Cruiser
The powerful Gothic class Cruiser is a familiar sight throughout the Imperium and has a presence in each Segmentum
battlefleet. The class carries one of the heaviest lance broadsides in the Imperial Navy, making it a threat to vessels of
equal or larger size. However, without the saturating fire of macrobatteries, lances are often unable to bring down targets
fast enough, meaning the Imperial Navy often pairs Gothics with other cruisers or escort squadrons. These ships bring
down an opponent’s defences, allowing the Gothic to finish them off. There are several Gothics in the Calixis Sector,
including the Gethsemane of Battlefleet Koronus (page 64).
A Gothic differs from a Lunar chiefly in terms of power output. To construct a Gothic, start with the Lunar class hull and equip it with a Jovian-pattern “Warcruiser” Drive and possibly Auxiliary Plasma Banks from the InTo The SToRm supplement, Titanforge Lance Batteries in all Port and Starboard weapon capacity slots, torpedo tubes, and an Armoured Prow Component. Note, the fearsome lance arrays of a Gothic are hard to construct, meaning a great deal of effort is put into building the ship. When constructing a Gothic, it will likely need several Good Craftsmanship Components.
