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

I’m adding this fact to the book

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.

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.

@@gama343 Instead, you have massive plasma reactors. God forbid some silly quirky space marines sneak inside of it with melta charges, your solar system will gain another star

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?

Merchant and auxiliary ships in real life also tend to be very large due to the economy of scale.

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.

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.

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.

I do have to agree here. 🥸

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?

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

That was more than 20 years ago, I still feel this.

Forklift would be a waste of fuel, a semi machanical man that been lobotamized will suffice

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.

Like t-shirts, tank tops, and sleeveless tees (those are my favorite)

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.

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!

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.

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
