Another highly unusual vessel in Khyron's fleet, the Abyss class was a rude and unpleasant surprise when it first appeared.  Not only because of an unusual configuration with the bridge on the very rear end of the ship and equipped with a second fire control bridge and excellent communications and jammer arrays, the ships also packed a lot of firepower. A massive lot of firepower for their size.  While not unusual in type, the sheer amount of weapons is cause for concern. Massive plasma cannon and missile launchers dot the prow and the sides, each weapon capable of high range and concentrated together, they can generate broadsides similar to imperial Retribution class battleships. The massive laser lance and tetrion energy turrets on deck and on the sides also have excellent range and generate an awesome power. Indeed, with all of these weapons, the Abyss class can generate a firestorm which is more powerful than the broadsides of most battleships. Together with their speed and better than usual defensive turret cover, they are extremely dangerous.  In their first battle, the Unholy Fire and the Glorious Blood engaged and destroyed the imperial Oberon class battleship Royal Rose and two of it's escorting cruisers. While both ships were damaged in the pitched fight, both escaped and left the rest of the imperial squadron behind. The light cruiser Valorous Lancer and three Cobra destroyers gave chase, but the chaos ships turned at bay and opened fire, crippling the Lancer and destroying two of the escort vessels.  The commander then broke off the engagement, after which the chaos ships escaped into the warp.  The sophisticated design is a mystery and probably Khyron was only able to build them with daemonic aid. It is estimated that the sheer complexity of these ships will prevent a wide-spread use by chaos forces.
