The Lathe class monitor-cruiser is a light cruiser, with an emphasis on long-ranged detection and endurance rather than speed and manoeuvrability. Lym's Lark, originally named The Emperor’s Bounty originally served in Battlefleet Calixis for several centuries, but was damaged within the Maw, following an incident with a Xenos artefact. Tadlock Orthesian claimed the vessel by Writ of Salvage.

Even though the ship has been cleared and refitted, her corridors have really never lost the taint of what happened in the Maw. Any boarding or hit and run actions against the vessel take a penalty. Her martial spirit is still strong, and she prefers to fight than run, even in circumstances that are sometimes dangerous.
