History

During the attempted Thirdspace Invasion of 2261, a massive fleet consisting of a great many Thirdspace capital ships and their accompanying Thirdspace fighters were waiting within the forming vortex in their own universe.

Apocrypha

	The following is based on The Mongoose Publishing RPG books and contradicts canon sources.

The Seraphim-class Dreadnoughts are huge imposing ships piloted by the Harbingers themselves, these ships are the primary spearheads of an extinction armada. It's their role to make room for the arrival of the Throne-class Gateships, so they can expand their Harbingers' domain. These ships are slow and relentless, able to withstand assaults by entire fleets of lesser ships. When this ship arrives at the targeted area, there is little that can stand in the Seraphim's way. Each of these starships is a weapon-laden fortress, one that groups of enemy ships have little chance of surviving. It's most powerful weapon is the "lightbringer array", which can cut up and atomise a target in seconds. Despite being astonishly powerful vessels, the Harbingers are reluctant to commit these ships to the forefront of any assault into a new territory. The prefer to send in the automated constructs which gauge the likelihood of the defenders overwhelming a Seraphim.
