In the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, the Imperium of Man survives only because countless mortals keep its worlds connected, supplied, and defended. This video explores the Imperial Navy, the vast and ancient warfleet that holds humanity together across the nightmare of Warhammer 40K. From the Civil Fleet and Merchant Fleet to the mighty Navis Imperialis, we break down how mankind crosses the stars, why warp travel is so dangerous, and how the Emperor’s Astronomican guides ships through the Immaterium. We trace the Navy’s origins from the Great Crusade and Imperialis Armada to the Horus Heresy, when betrayal forced Guilliman to split the Imperial Army into the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy. Then we examine the great ship classes of the Imperium: escorts, light cruisers, cruisers, grand cruisers, battle cruisers, and battleships. From the Sword Frigate and Dauntless Light Cruiser to the Lunar Class, Mars Class, Oberon Battleship, and legendary Gloriana vessels, this is the story of the ships and voidsmen who preserve mankind in an age of gods, monsters, carnage, and endless war.
