Here's an idea I've been kicking around for awhile. Please read and respond, all comments are welcome (Even if you hate it).
Jupiter-class Command-Carrier
The Jupiter class was the largest warship in the early Imperial fleet, and the direct precursor of the Emperor-
class Battleship. Indeed, the Emperor-class was developed from the Jupiter-class. This ship is a speacilist
and concentrates on flight ordnance and commanding large fleets. During the Great Crusade, the ships of this class
carried the Imperial banner far from Terra and destroyed many Xenos and renegade fleets.
The last ship of this class was produced in M32 in the Jovian shipyards and very few of these ancient vessels
remain in service. The greatest concentration left is among the reserve fleets of Battlefleet Solar, which hold a
grand total of 5.
Notable Vessels: Flight Marshal Hawkshorne
In it's 9,000 year history, the Hawkshorne has over 2,000 capital ship kills to it's name, not to mention innurmerable
escorts. The Hawkshorne is currently in the Martian reserve fleet but is due to be reactivated soon to fight in the
Sabbat World's Crusade.

Auto-Loaders add +1 to the strengh of each launch bay.
