A ship launched from the shipyards of Mezoa in 735.M34, the as the Emperor’s Pride, the Emperor’s Mercy has seen combat across 5 black crusades as part of the Battlefleets Cadia and Gothic, including the Gothic War. This ship participated in the Angevin Crusade nearly a millennium ago, and was left behind to form part of the nascent Battlefleet Calixis. The Emperor’s Mercy served in the Battlefleet Calixis until under the command of Commodore Atellus, who turned traitor from the Imperium, and took the voidship into the Koronus expanse. There, the ship was used to engage in piracy against various Rogue Traders until the Rogue Trader Shandra Zephyr captured the ship and slew Atellus. Now incorporated into the Zephyr Dynasty, it is been renamed the Emperor’s Mercy.
