The Hand of Redemption is an Imperial Navy Lunar-class cruiser on permanent detachment to Inquisitor Secristo and his secretive business within the Koronus Expanse. The Lunar class cruiser makes up the backbone of Battlefleet Calixis. Its (relatively) uncomplicated design dates back to the dawn of the Imperium, and it can be constructed at worlds normally unable to build a ship of the line. Its variety of weapons batteries, lances, and torpedoes make it both a versatile combatant and dangerous foe. The Hand is a wrathful craft with a glorious legacy of warfare and triumphant combats. Its iconography shows its service in the Imperial Navy, and can intimidate lesser captains.
