They are mustered in far greater numbers and utilize battleship sized escorts as part of far more powerful Devastation Blockades and Sentinal Forces, which routinely crush Hive fleets or Chaos daemonworlds, or guard dangerous powers on quarantined worlds. Such ships are similar to the huge space forts, planetary sized battle-hulks, and doomsday bastions yet are far more mobile and capable of fighting like standard battlefleets.

This class encompasses several classes of Imperial and Chaos battleships, the largest Eldar, Necron, Tau, and Tyranid vessels, and the largest mass class of Ork ships. These gargantuan ships can be twenty megameters in length and carry millions of crewmen they typically mount the largest and most powerful weapons of any ship. A Battleship is one of the largest vessels any fleet can muster.
