There are several ''Gloriana''-class ships known to be still in service to the [[Chaos|dark powers]].

The most infamous of them all, the '''[[Vengeful Spirit]]''', flagship of the archtraitor [[Horus Lupercal]], still bedevils the Imperium well into [[Age of the Dark Imperium|the current age]]. Now under the command of his successor, the Warmaster [[Abaddon the Despoiler]], the ship leads the fleets of the [[Black Legion]] in their rampage out of the [[Eye of Terror]] after the fall of [[Cadia]].

Likewise the '''Magna Tyrannis''', renamed the '''Harbinger of Doom''', flies the colors of the [[Black Legion]] and serves as the second flagship of the Black Fleet.

[[Mortarion]] still commands the plague-ridden '''Endurance''', and used it during the [[Plague Wars]] to terrorize the worlds of [[Ultramar]], exchanging a couple broadsides with the ''Macragge's Honor'' before retreating. Likewise the '''Conqueror''' still remains under the control of the [[World Eaters]], who use it to wreak havoc in [[Khorne]]'s name, presumably [[Angron]] takes command when he is summoned to the Materium. [[Lotara Sarrin]], Angron's flag captain during the Heresy, is merged with the command throne and occasionally snacks on passers-by. It was commanded by Kossolax the Foresworn, Chaos Lord of The [[Foresworn]] World Eaters Warband, until Angron returned from the Warp and had Sarrin declare him its master once more.

The '''Iron Blood''' has been quieter than it's sisters but it's noted by Huron Blackheart post Great Rift that it's been seen around.

It's conceivable that the '''Alpha''' and '''Beta''' of the [[Alpha Legion|Legion that doesn't exist]] are still in operation, but given how that Legion functions, no one knows for sure. The most that can be said is that the largest group of Alpha Legion factions post Great Rift had no idea where either of them are.
