First commissioned during the Great Reckoning, the Purification Fleet is the Holy Empire of Man's ultimate weapon against rebellion and treachery. Its special role is to devastate entire planets. The fleet's first mission was to cleanse the planet of Aldebaran 2. Also, during the Great Reckoning, the Purification Fleet incinerated the space habitat known as New Eden.
The ships are crewed and captained by the most zealous members of the Imperial Navy, and the admiral reports directly to the Ayatollah-Maximus of the Church of God, himself.
The flagship, known as "The Hammer of Redemption", is armed with enough firepower to completely remove the biosphere of a small planet with a Kugelblitz Projector.
Most of the ships in the fleet are impact ships that use railguns to launch asteroids at their targets, but a wide array of weapons of mass destruction are in the fleet's arsenal. Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical weapons are joined by an array of exotic and deadly technologies. Nano-disassemblers tear apart planets at a molecular level. Aerosol bombs block out the sun and plunge whole worlds into a nuclear winter scenario.
Emperor's Eye class vessels use giant lenses to focus sunlight to incinerate entire cities.
When it comes to rooting out and destroying the enemies of the Emperor, the Purification Fleet will stop at nothing.
