Gork's Big Un

by Dan Hussey

The Horus Heresey was a war of epic proportions, countless great starships were lost, many ships have never been accounted for. Of these the Goliath Super Heavy Transports were one of the greatest losses, only two of these monstrous starships remain, the others were destroyed or presumed lost in the warp.

The Gothic Class Crusier "Storm of Light" was sent to investigate a loss of communication with the Dernaga IV system. On arrival the Storm of Light found every planet in the system decimated, each planet's population had been butchered in obviously Ork fashion. As the crusier sent word of its terrible discovery a huge energy signature appeared from the warp. A Starship of gargantuan size, moved into a firing position, a host of crude Fighters streaming from it. The Storm of Light's sensor confirmed the starship was one of the lost Goliaths, "The Leviathan", it's transport capabilities replaced by a incredible array of weaponry. Before it's destruction the Storm of Light managed to transmit it's sensor readings. An Imperial Task Group was sent to destroy or capture the ship, however there was no trace of it.

Since then Gork's Big Un has been involved in six combat engagements in various parts of the galaxy, it has never been defeated.
