The  Adeptus  Mechanicus,  being  an  entity  that  exists  more alongside than as a part of the Imperium, maintains its own armies  and  warships.  These  fight  alongside  the  Imperial Guard and Navy in times of war, but as many Magos are quick to point out, they do so as allies, not vassals.<br>
The primary role of the Mechanicus fleets are exploration, not  combat, however.  Explorator  fleets  traverse  the  galaxy, looking for lost archeotech and ancient relics of the Dark Age of  Technology.  The  Lathe  class  monitor-cruiser  is  a  perfect example  of  the  ships  the  Explorators  utilize  in  their  fleets.<br>
The  design  for  the  Lathe-class  was  uncovered  in  the  deep data-vaults  of  Het  in  the  Lathe  system  during  the  Angevin Crusade,  and  in  the  centuries  since  the  crusade  ended,  the Lathe shipyards have diligently constructed multiple ships. <br>
The  design  differs  from  many  light  cruisers,  with  an emphasis  on  long-ranged  detection  and  endurance  rather than speed and maneuverability. Outfitted correctly, a Lathe-class can operate without refit and resupply for decades.<br>
