The Ambition-Class Cruiser is a type of Cruiser class vessel used by various Human fleets. These cruisers are often produced by Adeptus Mechanicus shipyards for extremely wealthy individuals, Rogue Traders, or the System Defence Forces of noble dynasties.

These are rare vessels, as it is not common for shipbuilders to contract their services to buyers outside of the Imperial Navy. Despite being operated by various clans, houses, and fleets these are true Cruisers, packing as much firepower as the Lunar or Tyrant classes.

They also invariably incorporate luxurious quarters and amenities for their buyers. These are ships built efficiently, and lacks some of the ultra-conservative redundancies built into Imperial Navy vessels. As a result, some have claimed that these ships are more fragile than "true cruisers", but most Rogue Traders and noble families are willing to take the risk.

====Cardinal====

A ship that's plagued by its [[Chaos|ancestors.]]

The Cardinal-Class Heavy Cruiser is a class of Cruiser used by the Imperial Navy. Seeing as how this ship used the original template for the ill-fated [[Acheron-class Heavy Cruiser|Acheron Class,]] one can see why this class of ship proved a [[Extra Heresy|''tad'' bit too controversial for the Imperial Navy.]] But no, you can’t see the controversy past the ten thousand years of Imperial ships turning to Chaos without their entire classes being censured.

The failure of the Acherons and their supposed use of [[Heresy|xenos technology]] has haunted the Cardinal Class and now only a handful of Imperial Navy fleets use the ageing ships in service.

As its design was Great Crusade-era, the Cardinal lack the armored prow of its modern cousins and is more suited for long-range engagements instead of being target practice. Which means it probably was named Cardinal during the violently atheist time before the violently religious time. Cardinal then may have been in reference to the secular meanings of the word and now lives on as an amusing joke.

====Rogue Trader Cruiser====

The ship used by everyone's favourite [[Rogue Trader|space smugglers.]]

Rogue Trader Cruisers refer to a variety of vessels operated by Rogue Traders. Not possessing the wealth or resources to build Cruiser class vessels themselves, Rogue Traders often rely on vessels built by others. Such vessels are often gifts to loyal and successful Rogue Traders from the Administratum or retired Imperial Navy ships. In exchange for such a gift, however, a Rogue Trader may be called upon to lead an expedition into uncharted space.

Rogue Trader Vessels are unique, exotic ships. Often exhibiting many signs of the Traders own tastes and colonial adventures, they are subject to constant refit and adornment, much of it [[Heresy|alien in origin.]] The business of a Rogue Trader can take him/her all over the galaxy and while their vessel's class may be common in its sector of origin, it may also be virtually unknown to other regions of the Imperium.

They often have their own miniature launch bays for exoatmospheric and interplanetary expeditions, as such, they also have their own flight crew. Often these small space and aircraft aren't really suited for combat, often carrying a small compliment of [[Gun-Cutter]]s, [[Arvus Lighter]]s and [[Aquila Lander]]s.

====Inquisitorial Cruiser====

Personal pimp boat for everyone's favourite [[Inquisitor|psychopaths.]]

Inquisitorial Cruisers are Cruiser-class vessels used by the [[Inquisition]]. These vessels are specially constructed for the Inquisition and wield technology and weaponry available only to the fleets of Mars itself such as a certain [[Exterminatus|cyclonic torpedo]]. This also means that they are proof that the Mechanicus will share it’s technology (the goods, not the knowledge) if you pay them and the Imperium is a cheapskate.

As a result, they are faster, better armed, and better protected than Imperial Navy ships of the same class. While a few standard patterns are used by the Inquisition, they are just as often purpose-constructed and optimized for specific roles. These ships are usually used by Inquisitors mission-to-mission before being transferred, though it is not unheard of for individual Inquisitors to have permanent Cruisers attached to their names.

====Conquest====

The big, fat and <u>''THICC''</u> boy of Cruisers.

The Conquest-Class Star Galleon is an ancient Cruiser design still used in older fleets of the Imperial Navy as well as some Rogue Traders. They are thought to be treasure ships from the very first Rogue Traders on the orders of the Emperor himself.

Ships still in service have [[Archeotech|technical wonders]] that have since become a lost art of the Imperium, capable of conducting both long-range exploration missions and having enough combat capacity to carve apart renegade empires.

By the 41st Millennium, few of these ships remain in service and are seen as precious relics from the legendary founding time of the Imperium. Remaining Conquest Star Galleons are mostly used by Rogue Traders, as Imperial Navy officers tend to view them as under-gunned for their size and fragile. This opinion, however, misses the obvious fact that [[Derp|it is an armed freighter, not a warship.]] Double stupid since it clearly has two rows of guns to each gun deck.
