Ancient beyond reckoning, the Long Night-class is for all intents and purposes a pocket-sized Grand Cruiser, desgined from the get-go for energy weapon warfare during a nightmarish war. Triple-shielded, multiple-redundancy power conduits branch out from a plasma engine already impossible to re-create when the Emperor Himself led his armies on the Great Crusade.
What little of its history can be gleaned points at one and only one thing: The Long Night-class was built in the waning days and named for the Night, as the final, desperate struggles of Humanity against the Iron Men drew to their inevitable, tragic end.
