The Imperial Navy, known as the Navis Imperialis in High Gothic, is one of the primary armed forces of the Imperium of Man.
While the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) represents the Imperium's ground forces, the Imperial Navy is responsible for the fleets of starships that maintain order between the stars and planets in the Imperium, for all space and air support provided to the infantry of the Astra Militarum through its Aeronautica Imperialis branch, and for transporting those Guardsmen across the galaxy to the Imperium's myriad warzones.
The battlefleets of the Imperial Navy are constantly engaging threats both inside and outside the Imperium's borders. - บันเทิง

I was in the Navy and the concept of different departments absolutely hating each other is 100% accurate. I was in Reactor Department and we would constantly trash talk everyone else for making our lives harder.
Also in the navy, can confirm, ETNs are always talking shit
Yup I worked Intel up on the 03 level. Can confirm the hate lol. My son just graduated prototype for nuke electrician and he's about to learn lol.
I've heard _very_ mixed responses to this, but thank you all for your service. I'm sorry if it bothers you. I'm going to be selfish and just say your service is genuinely inspiring, I hope you got more out, than you put in.
We'll enjoy the extra testicles down in reactor, I'll stand in front of my spinny turning microwave device up topside and enjoy not dying of ocean cancer
Hahahahaha!
Shy does not utter a single word and she's still my favourite character in this podcast.
She is the silent heeoine that we deserve and need.
The Token Sane Person. Every podcast needs one.
I do like the idea of an Echlesiarchy figure being all about physical fitness and will tell you that The Emperor would smile upon you by being physically fit/swole. Bonus points if it looks like some old priestly figure but he takes off his robes and its just gains. Just looking like he hasn't missed a single day to lift for The Emperor.
Some Master Roshi level transformations.
If I don't see "Gains for the God Emperor" on a shirt in the next month, I'm going to hold Bricky personally liable for the heresy he's brought upon himself.

22:54 They're called "laurel wreaths", or just "laurels" for short; they _were_ originally made with olive branches during the era of the Greeks, but the higher ranking Romans typically wore ones made out of gold. They are, in fact, the reason why we have the phrase "resting on one's laurels".
Damn we even have that phrase in german: "Sich auf den eigenen Lohrbeeren ausruhen"
Didn't know that phrase even existed in english
They were originally awarded to champions in the Greek Olympics too; they're a symbol of victory and eternal youth.
Also:
In English, the word laureate has come to signify eminence or association with literary awards or military glory. It is also used for recipients of the Nobel Prize, the Gandhi Peace Award, the Student Peace Prize, and for former music directors of orchestras who retain some level of involvement.
Actually it was made from bay laurel, hence them being called laurels

That is fantastic and a work of genius
He should have quoted the village people in the begining
Don't you mean the Hive City People?
you forgot to metion the part where we take the shortcut through LITTERALY HELL and if a warp stom happens it turns into UBER HELL
Fun fact: Each standard Imperial sector is a cube measuring 8 million cubic lightyears, and given that the volume of the galaxy is estimated at around 8 trillion cubic lightyears, that means around a million sectors. This means that on paper, the Imperium should have at least 50-75 million capital ships alone. Of course there will be parts of the galaxy that the Imperium doesn't have control over due to enemy presence, Warp storms or natural hazards. However, it would make sense that the Imperium would more than compensate by having more forces around in more strategic sectors, like, there's no way that somewhere like the Cadian Gate would have only 75 capital ships, the intro of BFG Armada has Imperial and Chaos fleets in numbers that would make the Battle of Coruscant from Episode III look puny in comparison. This is to say nothing of the capital of the Imperium, there was a mention in one of the Space Wolf books that describe Terra as being surrounded by a whole-ass nebula made of ships, and even if only 0.1% of those are military vessels... that's probably millions of ships. Then you have fleets that aren't officially registered as part of sector fleets, like Crusade fleets, Chapter fleets, Admech Explorator and defense fleets, Inquisition fleets, Astra Telapathica black ship battlefleets, Administratum tithe fleets, Rogue Trader private or dynastic fleets, etc etc.
If you take the time to think about the population and relative amounts of ships that could be within the imperium its rather under scaled the million planets in the imperium even if they had our current population on average would be 7.E15 humans in the imperium even if one percent of each planet was tithed every year thats 7.E13 soldiers of the Imperial Guard. Its incomprehensible in scale. The galactic scale of the imperium is rarely realistically displayed.
I remember Arch did a breakdown of the #'s a while back
Fascinating
The best part is the Dark age of technology has humanity turning barren worlds habitable left right and center so the amount of habitable human worlds is inconceivably higher than what it should be even after the birth of slaanesh, the great crusade, the horus heresy, and planets constantly being lost since then. Therefore the fleet would be so inconceivably large that it dwarfs what it should be.
And in spite of not having ai to aid in the use of these machines, they still have this many ships in use.
Why the fuck are they cubes, that's so dumb on so many levels
@@Vanq22114 because space isn't flat. Its 3D. Not all planets and things are on a level plane.
If you do the math, a huge portion of a ship's mass is actually ammunition to be expended in vast quantities in the general direction of things.
nobody writing 40k anything is doing the math for ammunition
Imagine being captain of an Apocalypse class battleship. All lance broadsides, all day. No need for those big, highly explosive munitions magazines. No need for unsightly, potentially insubordinate slave gangs. So much extra room for good food and wine, maybe even give the ratings their own little cabins. Hardly even get hit in a fight because you're sniping with lasers from twice the effective range of the other losers' silly projectile weapons. Make up the weight that all the shells and torpedoes would add by ordering your senior enginseer to plate the whole ship in that amount of brass as a flex.
Torpe do what a torpe can.
Well for the gaurd your really only have to deal with the tank shells they drown you in and bolter ammo lasguns use just energy

"A large Xenos fleet has been contacted. They are fifteen AU away and headed in our direction. They are believed to have four battleships, eight cruisers, and a number of destroyers.

"All hands, this is the Captain. The order is: Full Speed and Damn the Torpedoes. The Emperor Protects."
Ah, the good ship Johnstonus
I seriously want more 40k Naval content. Bring Battlefleet Gothic back to the Tabletop. PLEASE!
Some of these ships are so ridiculously massive that crew probably spends their entire lives never even leaving the deck or sector they’re stationed on. It’s probably the equivalent of that one vacation you’ve been saving up for just to go to like…the other side of the ship.
I mean... 8km doesn't sound that much, (as in distance. 8km is big for... any structure really (not counting roads 'n stuff) let alone a moblie one.) The average human could walk that.
BUT, the thing is, this isn't a road or paved path. It's a ship. Filled with ancient machinery, working people, praying cogboys, servitors, servo-skulls whizzing about, armsmen patrolling. You could take less traveled routes, but those are likely difficult to cross and easy to get lost in.
Oh and it's in 3d, with decks and lift-shafts and stairs and god knows what else.
@@sidknoop6381 I think reading the big ships have their own system Of trains to travel from the front to the rear faster.
Entire generations live and die on those ships, children are born, raised, and pass due old age or the hazardous environment.
They are entire civilizations floating in space.
@Sid Knoop to be fair, in feudal societies it was rare a person ever left their village let alone travel significantly...I could imagine it is the same on some imperial ships where people are born, live, and die on some decks...rarely having a actual reason to venture to another deck unless your a officer or something. Is this life likely boring, mundane, and in some cases rough? Probably...but ironically enough it probably also makes them the absolute best at their jobs in some regards without "further" augmentation. Like, imagine if for most of your life since a early age you are drilled and trained to do something...you are probably worth more than some conscripts whom have no clue what they are doing.
Part of me thinks this is why a lot of ships in 40k for the Imperium actually encourage various "cultures" forming in their ships, in that it creates with time groups of people whom are likely much more skilled in a particularly needed set of skills than others brought in may be.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
Fun fact that I only recently learned, a Covenant Super Carrier is several kilometers larger than the Imperium’s Battleships. Think it was 13 or so
I mean… Bricky did say that the sizes varies, and I know in Pandorax the flagship (I think it was a battleship) is said to be close to 20Km long, and in The War of the Beast a battleship is said to be 12Km. The Macraggs Honor (Guillimans flagship) is locked in at a confirmed 27km! And from memory Super Carriers from Halo are meant to be the flagship in the fleet, so it makes sense it would be huge.
Fun fact: the elite shipmaster solo'd 2 brute covenant super carrier in his super carrier, effectively proving the incompetence of brutes as naval commanders, which is why there are no brute shipmasters in the Banished.
Aaaand then there's the ark mechanicus class...
Speranza being up to 150km long, and having more deck space than a large continent.
@OHGAS what the warp does to a ship
@@Zakvadr1995 Covenant Supercarriers would be comparable to Gloriana class battleships, which do vary wildly in size though around 20-ish KM is the standard. That being said, Cov. supercarriers are optimized for planetary assault, command and control and stuff, so an average Gloriana is going to be far more heavily armed than a Covenant vessel of equal size.
Here are the stated lengths of canon Glorianas:
Macragge's Honour is at least 26 km in multiple sources
The Iron Blood was just 15 km in Angel Exterminatus but almost 20 km in the Forge World HH sourcebooks
The Vengeful Spirit was said to be over twice the size of the Death Guard flagship Endurance, and was specifically called a "Scylla pattern" in Flight of the Eisenstein (IIRC)
The Invincible Reason is stated to have an interior grand hallway 28 km in of itself (read from the wiki, not sure what book)
So yeah, there are a lot of variations in the Gloriana design, with the more standard ones being around 20-ish km long (FW sourcebooks confirm they were mass produced in limited numbers to the wider Imperial Army fleets, but the 2 most special legions, that being the Sons of Horus and Dark Angels, had the biggest and best, seemingly more customized for extra power, they were also the most prominent, though not the only, legions that had multiple Glorianas (the SoH had one called the Magna Tyrannus, and the DA had at least 2 more, the Paradigm of Hate and the Truth's Razor).
Other examples of Glorianas include that one that the Ultramarines captured from the traitors and gifted to one of their successor chapters, and it's mentioned that the Black Templar flagship, the Eternal Crusader, is also a type of Gloriana, likely a smaller subclass.
Most battles i know in 40k are soldiers going at it but I never see how these big space ships handle themselves.
Try Starfleet Gothic, it's neat.
Just look up the ursus claws
There is an entire tabletop game solely about the space battles called Battlefleet Gothic. It's all out there to learn about my man.
Aaron Dembski-Boden does pretty good space battles, I don't remember the author but one of the Night Lords books has a couple really good ones too.
@@jakejutras5420 Never played the tabletop but I like the computer games.
Unironically, Shy's edits are my favorite part of this trilogy. The whole thing is works together as a team effort of lore, goofiness, and Shy. And Shy is the magic.
Gloriana class were given to the primarchs to serve as flagship for their respective legion.
Unless you’re Rogal dorn with his Phalanx
He kept the Eternal Crusader in the Legion's fleet though, probably let Sigismund use it as his flagship before the Black Templars.
Or Lorgar who had 3 iirc
@@velphidrow8317 You might be mixing those with the 3 Abyss class superdreadnoughts he commissined. The Lord Bearers has 2 Glorianas, IIRC, the Fidelitas Lex and Infidus Imperator.
Other legions had multiple Glorianas as well, such as the Sons of Horus with the Magna Tyrannus, the Dark Angels with the Paradigm of Hate and Truth's Razor (which were both destroyed against the Rangdan) and that one Traitor Gloriana that the Ultramarines captured and eventually gave to one of their successor chapters.
Or the Dark Angels and you got at least 3.
FOR THE EMPEROR OF MANKIND AND FOR THE BATTLEFLEET GOTHIC!
I do have to agree here. 🥸
After Creed, the tactical genius of the Wall of gun, we have Spire, the tactical genius of the amalgamation of space cathedrals.
To be fair, Spire as the player character gets credit for a lot of stuff that Lord Admiral Ravensburg did in the lore.

FYI darktide has a ship inside the hive city that you can see at the end of a mission...
I saw it and took a moment to try and guess what it was off the Prow! I think it’s just a transport ship but it could be a support frigate?
Wat?
@@Zakvadr1995 frigate minimum but also dont forget how big hive cities sre
Nice, which mission?
@@Lord_Wateren no idea
Just so you know, the chart at 21:25 is the compiled ship list from the ttrpg Rogue Trader. The top left ship actually isn't a ship for battle at all, but is the Universe Class Mass Conveyor transport.
It's a big lad for having no combat ability whatsoever, being 12km long.
Merchant and auxiliary ships in real life also tend to be very large due to the economy of scale.
This probably explains Lotara Sarrin's "I don't give a f*** who you are" attitude towards the World Eaters.
We are the defenders of humanity. We are the Emperor's blazing sword and the Imperium crushing fist. Hundreds of bilions of hands ready to die on the cold unforgiven space. We are the Imperial Navy!
I am judging everyone who made those poster purchases, the cadian catman deserved to be in the top 5
Minor correction. The Mourning Star, aka the Darktide hub ship, is a modified Firestorm-class Frigate at 1.8km long with a crew size of 25,000 men.
The Aeldari Craftworlds' sizes can range from a moon to a planet.
I thought they were only continental size!!
@@Dracobyte Depend on group. Major group of Aeldaris have Terra size craftworld while sub-minor group usually have continental size.
@@Volgalist i see, thank you for answering!!
37:36 that actually happens in the old imperium navy book “Gothic War: Shadow Point” by Gordon Rennie, but it’s between a Mechanicus generator maintenance crew and a team serving under a Rank officer. They were fighting over a section of the ship’s illegal drug market.
As a heads up brick, Astartes and most boarding craft or torpedoes don't care about void shields as far as I know.
What shields do protect against is teleporter strikes.
Teleporter strikes like kill teams suddenly appearing in your ship or teleporter strikes like now part of the ship is just gone, straight up missing
@@bodenking as in hey I just teleported an whole terminator squad aboard your bridge since there are no more void shields
@@AnA10Pilot Okay cool, just wanted to make sure since 40K is weird
I want to believe the gun crew use giant forklifts to reload the guns
Forklift would be a waste of fuel, a semi machanical man that been lobotamized will suffice
This the overview and other videos for certain ships later? The Gloriana-Class deserves its own video!
Is there an actual origin of the name Gloriana? Like, was the class named after someone in the DAOT that the Emperor knew and respected? Maybe one of his Perpetual allies?
I always thought it was so stupid scifi when ships in space would try to board one another like if it were pirate ships in 40k.
But now that I understand the ridiculous scales of this ships, boarding actually makes a lot more sense when you’re boarding ships the size of countries. In the words of DK… JEEZUZ
Boarding makes perfect sense when you consider that ships, in 40K and Real Life, are massively valuable vessels. You don't sink/destroy them if you don't have to. You would prefer to take it for yourself.
Moreover, for Astartes vessels in particular, they have a combat advantage other vessels typically don't: the Space Marines themselves. They're the most potent weapon an Astartes vessel has. Why wouldn't they try to board, in order to leverage their unfair advantage? Asking them not to would be like asking Orks not to rush into melee, or asking the Tau TO rush into melee.
@@Bluecho4 On top of that, Space Marine Terminators can teleport directly to vital parts of the enemy ship as soon as the void shields drop. Standard MO of Space Marines naval warfare is to launch boarding torpedoes, wait for one of the squads to make it to the shield generators, turn off shields, then teleport Terminators to the bridge and engineering.
Alternately, have the boarding parties take over some of the gun decks and have that ship fire on its allies until they're forced to deal with that new problem, giving the ship that the boarders are from some breathing room.
@@Bluecho4 Yeah, imagine Marines fighting enemy with ships equilavent of the regular navy.
No boarding, this basically means it is a fair fight. In fact the regular people may have the advantage because battlebarges - strike cruisers vs battleships - cruisers the Marines focus much more on hangars and less on guns & armour.
But with boarding, well imagine Guard vs Marines but with no tanks or artillery to really give the marines all the advantages.
A Space Marine Captain/Shipmaster that isn't ordering for a boarding action against just about every form of enemy other than Orks and Tyranids should be demoted to Sergeant for incompetence due to failure to utilize the assets available to him to his best capability. Because executing him would be a waste of geneseed.
@@Bluecho4 except irl naval vessels are also super expensive and large. Its not like anyone is developing boarding pods to take down an 11 billion dollar american carrier
@@stevenjiang6418 That's not really the comparison you should be making. 40K ship combat has more in common with sailing ships, where boarding parties were common.
Also, you don't really need a "boarding pod" for a sea-going vessel. You'd use a speedboat or helicopter, because you're not in space. The point is to get people on the ship.
Moreover, our world doesn't have Space Marines, who can individually decimate whole platoons of regular soldiers by themselves. If Astartes existed in our world, they'd probably do boarding actions on aircraft carriers way more. Because, as I said, the point is to leverage the infantry-on-infantry advantage Space Marines have over other forces.
"What are you doing battle brother?"
Common idiom of the naval defense specialist space marines

I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED!!!
I come from a U.S. Navy family :3
I am totally invested in that space gang gun drama! It's worth a 6 part mini-series a least!
I always wondered why the Imperium ever deploys titans at all when an orbital bombardment would do the job without as much risk.
Well in the lore orbital bombardment is very inaccurate and basically unable to accurately hit anything smaller than a city. But in reality its because of the rule of cool.
Titans can destroy an entire city. An Imperial battleship can destroy entire planets. It's a matter of scale and tactics.
1) Void shields erected over cities make orbital bombardment ineffective. Much of 40K's ground wars directly stem from this.
2) Comparatively, a Titan is a precision instrument. When you need the outer walls annihilated, but not the factories or shrines behind them, you'd deploy forces on the ground.
3) Psychological warfare. The enemy can't really see a ship in space. Everyone can see the god machine walking towards them. Feel it, too, with all the heavy footfalls.
4) Because they can. Titans are a ridiculous waste of resources, deployed for the sake of showing how mighty they are. Plus, the Titan Legions are their own organizations, who have a great deal of pride wrapped up in engaging in wars. They need things to do.
You CAN pound away at void shields from orbit, but it is much simpler to land troops. Navy doesn't do maneuvers it doesn't want to/risk damage to their precious ships when some poor ground pounders can bleed instead. The Sons Of Horus, Iron Warriors, and Emperor's Children were especially adept at the fleet maneuvers required to properly cycle ships in and out of a bombardment position.
I need some "GAINS FOR THE GOD EMPEROR" gym gear asap. Just the Adeptus Ridiculous logo with like a buff flexing arm on either side and it's right above the writing like right on the sternum.
Like t-shirts, tank tops, and sleeveless tees (those are my favorite)
To the question of a craftworld size, I will just bring in the battlefleet gothic armada II battle around one.
That thing is so big that it is part of the background. Like, you are fighting kilometers above the main body of the thing. But here is the fun part, the ship has a sort of ship extension which is so massive that it goes over the field of battle. Like, you look down and you see craftworld, you look forward and you see craftworld and when you look up there is still craftworld.
And you are fighting a battle with multiple battleships.
Craftworlds are called so for a damn good reason.
For scale, watch the GW Horus Heresy trailer, 1:42 seconds, a warlord titan gets obliterated by a battleship...
You only see a corner of said battleship...
Another fun fact: There are populations of people who are not even part of the crew on many naval ships especially troop transports that set up small towns in the corridors and holds, providing services and goods to the crew and passengers.
Honestly an Imperial personal trainer is probably one of the best you can ask for; all the resources of the imperium combined with RELIGIOUS ZEAL for his job.
"GOD HIMSELF has asked me to make you SWOLE AS FUCK, BOI, *AND THAT IS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN*."
The Imperial Navy also has on the battle stations and the larger ships a type of abhuman called voidborn whose families have lived for 10,000 years or more on these stations and ships. They've lived there for so long that they've formed tribes and communities in that particular section of ship or station, working on the internals and machinery of that specific section. There was a short story where an entire tribe of voidborn on a ship died out and as such there was no one left to perform maintenance on the machinery specific to that tiny section, and the surrounding tribes had to figure out how to repair the machinery.
The Phalanx has entire small nations of voidborn that live deep in its depths and will occasionally wage war on their neighbors. If the fighting between those tiny nations gets so bad that it starts disrupting the functions of the Phalanx, the Imperial Fists will send chapter serfs, or a couple of battle brothers if the fighting is particularly bad, to bring the wars to a stop.
Yeah the Phalanx is fucking insane, it's been described as having interior hangars or cargo bays that reach so high up they form their own unique ecosystems and wildlife.
A gargantuan station indeed!
A "Rate" is the job designation. A sailors rating is their job. A engine tecnician, electrician, hull tecnician, gunner, are all ratings. Vox operator, coolant system dude, or whatever jobs there are.
FYI: the "wreaths" are calles "Laurels" metal or olive branch 'crowns' given as awards to roman generals/leaders/heros.
Its where the saying "dont rest on your laurels" comes from. Meaning: your value come from your CURRENT success not your past success.
Laurels. Laurels is the word you are looking for. Often given as a symbol of victory.
From my understanding, an imperial warship (at its largest) is roughly what you get if you pull the island of Manhattan out of the ground and fill it with guns. Maybe not continent-sized (I think the craftworlds hold that title) but enforcing any sort of consistent scale in 40k is a fool’s errand so go off.
Sea shanties in 40k must be epic
I just checked how large Eldar Craftworlds are in comparison, and i found a quora article that states, and i f**king quote:
_"Its focking massive, bro._
_When you go outside at night, look at our moon. Great, now double that size and stretch it out into a ship-like shape. Thats how fockin huge they are and probably even more massive than that._
_>slaps top of craftworld< This shit can fit so many fucking wraith constructs."_
...
God Emperor bless.
No mention of the absolute fucking UNIT of a gigachad that is Spire? You know, the man who saved the Gothic Sector and kicked Abaddon in the balls, before taking a 900-year vacation and coming back to Avenge Cadia.
800 - 900 year forced vacation in the Warp too. It's not like he was chilling or anything. For him there was no break.
What is stupid about naming sectors of space after oceans? That makes a lot of sense and is something we as humans would actually do.

Fabricator General is the title for the governor Of each forgeworld but the *Fabricator General Of Mars* is both the supreme leader Of the entire institution Of the adeptus mechanicus and holds a seat between the high lords Of terra.
@@velphidrow8317 not very well way I hear it. But I suppose at this point it is just a shiny toy for him to covet.
The largest ship is the Gloriana-class Battleship Invincible Reason, which is under the command of the Dark Angels, at a length of 28 kilometers (17.4 miles) and still in service. The second largest is Macragge's Honour at a length of 26 kilometers (16.16 miles), which is still in service and serves as the flagship of Roboute Guilliman right now.
The only exceptions to this are things like a moving fortress/space station like the Phalanx and the ship made for the Word Bearers when the Horus Heresy started the Abyss class, which we are not sure what its exact size is.
Technically the forge world of Graia is a space ship. Imagine the martian ring of iron, but it's more of a net than just a ring, and it also has both sublight engines and warp drives.
@@Awesomotron2k I mentioned that the exceptions would be things like the mobile fortresses/space stations like the Phalanx. I think that is more of a mobile space station/fortress like the Phalanx, but I did forget about Graia did have that and I think it would technically be the largest mobile space station/fotress that can move based on length/width within the imperium.
The moment when you talk about bordering space Marines remind me.
Bricki you need to show DK the fan animation ASTARTIES. It's literally just that.
The largest ship in the imperium we know of I belive is the The Invincible Reason, the flag ship of the dark angles, it is said its grand processional hallway alone measures 28km in length, exact lengths is unknown, so 28km+ (macragge's honour is 2nd at 26-27km)
Both are classed as Gloriana-class Battleships, which actually vary in size from some being 10km (the black templars eternal crusader) to 28km.
There are about 25 of these ships some unnamed, many destroyed during the hh and after events. However there are at least 10 believed to still functioning.
I am pretty sure The Phalanx would be considered the largest ship on the Imperium. But yes The Invincible Reason is probably the second largest.
@@CottonPanzer I considered the Phalanx as more of a battle station or like mobile fortress-monastery, but yeah its technically the largest
I hope you guys keep selling the top 5
I'm looking forward to you talking about the Nova Cannons.
I wonder if they’ll talk about abyss-class ships in the next episode
Oh yeah, those. I bet DK will absolutely LOVE it when they start talking about the battle of Armatura.
I fucking love the imperial navy, battlefleet gothic is what got me into 40k
"if I walked, the movie would be over!"
I just looked it up for giggles, Spaceball One is 11 km long lol
not gonna lie, DK had a pretty good guess on that first quote. That's exactly what i would've thought
Funfact if you stack 4 Gloriana Class Battleships end on end you're probably some sort of Star God.
Yeah, the Morningstar isn't even a Light cruiser, it's Appears to be a somewhat modified Firestorm class frigate (bow lascannon removed, torpedo tubes added instead). A light cruiser would have a lot more than 2 engines.
An especially hilarious episode! Shy your humor is fantastic and your edits have persuaded me to watch each video and not just listen.
If y'all ever read the Forges of Mars series it has a pretty good look at what servant life on an AdMech ship is like. Great series BTW.

The Cleveland bit always gets me
>a battleship can be up to 8 kilometers long
>that's like a floating country! no, a continent!
entertainment over accuracy. never change boys
Imperial Navy: the pay is good, you will get laid, and uh, the gellar fields only fail sometimes.
Let’s hope that Kirioth shows that one size chart for all of the major vessels in sci-fi. The entire left side of that poster is dedicated to Imperium ships exclusively.
The Mourningstar looks like a frigate to me, but the fact its got torpedo tubes kinda throws me off.
50:13 Yes Shepard, you really do sound like that.
Craftworlds are at least 2000 km long, from what I've heard.
It’s also called a laurel
The Eternal Crusader, the Mobile Fortress Monastery of the Black Templars, is the GLORIANA BATTLESHIP that was owned by the Imperial Fists Legion during the Great Crusade!!!!
I would love to get a whole naval series though, especially the eldar and tau
personal trainer in 40K would be the drill abbot imo.
Of course, I suspect that this will be brought up in the Kirioth headed episode, we should talk about what a torp is in 40k.
Cus there are 2 main types, Melta and Cyclonic. Melta I think is the picture, it is just a town sized array of melta lances to help it bore through the hull of a ship and get the 'splody bit that much closer to something that doesn't react well to high explosives.
Cyclonic though.... that's a town sized Nuclear warhead.... *hyperventilation intensifies* I don't know what kind of tonnage we are talking about there but I'm sure we have long since past Mega Tonnes, maybe even through the Giga Tonne range and I suspect the larger ships are hurling Tera Tonnes of ordnance through the void. With about a 0.1% accuracy rating cus these things are slooooooow and the distances you can travel in void in mere moments are astronomical.
I still have some metal militia shirts I wear for yard work and a nice pair of metal militia swim trunks that have been serving me well for the last like 10 years lol
Fun fact: Imperial battleships typically reach up to 8-10 km in length.
The Long Night of Solace, and other Covenant Supercarriers, were typically around 22km long.
Looks like the filthy xenos have a leg up on the ol' Imperium!
Ah but is that super carrier ramming proof? Or resistant to Macro cannons? I mean sure its big, but so is a Craftworld.
@@matthewcoster5535
Typical UNSC ship weaponry is essentially T'au railguns on super-steroids, and the T'au armada scared the absolute piss out of an entire Imperial crusade force, so I'd wager the answer is yes.
Well, for each battleship, you would have scores to hundreds of battlecruisers and cruisers, and thousands of light cruisers if not more. Battleships are usually ancient relics in the Imperium and it's far more efficient to make more smaller ships that collectively have equivalent power to a battleship rather then making a new battleship.
Also, in size and tonnage class, a Covenant Supercarrier would be more similar to a Gloriana class battleship, and despite the most common models of those being about 20 km in length, they are far more heavily armed for their size compared to the Covenant ships. And it's not like the Imperium isn't used to dealing with enemies that wield superior technology, especially in 30K when these things were still being built.
@@RatQueen413 UNSC SMAC ODPs fire multi-metre-long projectiles at about 4% the speed of light. Imperial Nova Cannons fire shells of over 50 meters wide at relativistic speeds, and have been described in some sources to obliterate smaller vessels in a 10,000 km radius.

Ah yes, I'm sure that it is definitely fair to compare main-line battle cannons with the extremely rare fleet busters.
High lords of Terra would probably be a great episode
i fell in love with the Navy Breachers kill team when they came out, but i dont play kill team
so this just makes me want to be able to make a full Navis Imperialis 40k army even more
I'd be in the gang called Shell Shock and their logo would be an empty shell casing hitting the ground and the ground being torn up by the impact.
as i said in the live chat is apparent that the more drip you have the higher your rank is in the imperial navy
More like in Imperial society in general.
the gang that reloads the guns "The Receivers"
The vast majority of Astartes ships are automated and run by Servitors to reload as they don't crew the ships as much alot more advanced. The regular Imperial Navy uses far more crew and such with lower tech ships.
I gotta get me a Tau poster.
I'm a little disappointed that bricky didn't mention the fact that technically speaking, the Space Marines, Mechanicus and Imperium all have their own separate navys
Those, and the Adeptus Astra Telepathica (which is said to be the biggest fleet second to the Imperial Navy) and the Administratum (how else are they supposed to securely collect and distribute tithes around anyway?)
@@fadelsukoco3092 correct me if i'm wrong but don't the telepathic and the administratum use the same ships as the navy? While space marines and mechanicus literally have separate ship classes, different design philosophy's for those classes and even different formations?
@@warhawk9566 For the Astra Telepathica, they are in charge of operating and maintaining Black ships and their escorts, which go around to literally every imperial planet they know of to collect psykers to either train or feed to the Emperor. I think it was in one of the Spacehulk Deathwing missions that said how the Telepathica fleet was the second-largest in the Imperium.
As for the Administratum, they would have different fleets for different roles, such as defense fleets, attack fleets, patrol fleets, merchant fleets, and tithe-collecting fleets. Sure, some of these fleets would use the same ships as the Navy, but others would be used for more mundane things like trade, logistics, supply and taxation. These fleets would likely be less armed and militarized than the official Navy fleets, but they would still be armed enough to fend off things like pirates, xenos raiders, and the occasional uppity, noncompliant world that can't or won't pay their tithes.
laurel crown is what the head leaf thing is called. Like the saying don't rest on your laurels.
40k pirates of the Carribean ride
The gellerfield breaks down
Actual daemons break in and, in real life, kill half of the people on the ride
You exit, get in an actual battle with the Necrons or some shit, they kill almost everyone else
Then the moment you exit the ride you get sniped by a railgun and explode
Fire the Ursus claws?
Did ya’ll know that there is a 40K themed Escape Room over in Nottingham, and the premise is that you’re on an Imperial Navy vessel traveling in the Warp, and then the Geller Field goes down…
So just a note on ship scale, your inquisitorial ship in Darktide isnt a light cruiser, its a FRIGATE. Even a Light cruiser is about 3 times the size of that...... the sheer scale of ships in 40k is just insane. That frigate, which is by 40k standards a 'tiny' escort vessel is about the same size as a Star Destroyer in Star Wars (a little smaller than an Imperial class destroyer but not much!) or about twice the size of the Enterprise D in Star Trek. Theyre freakin enormous
That opening is amazing
the thumbnail art looks great in this
US Navy aircraft carriers have had problems with gangs forming on the ships. The Nimitz class aircraft carrier has a crew of over 5,000. It becomes a microcosm of society at sea. The new Ford class carrier will only need 2,500+ thanks to “Automation”.
I believe the other name for the crown of golden leaves is Laurel.
I’m glad this was a great episode, I needed this this week, the impending doom of finals week as an engineer is… yeah…
