Also a relatively new ship (even a completely new ship design philosophy) in the fleet.  A dedicated carrier, these ships have little in the way of defences or even offensive capabilities. They are, however, equipped with extensive hangar bays and supporting equipment, as well as a dedicated flight bridge, which can control all of it's small craft and that of other friendly ships as well.  Maulers are also comparatively cheap craft and are thought to be constructed in about the time as a Murder or Lunar class cruiser, which are among the easiest to construct.  Though they are cheap, it is unlikely that Khyron will build many more of them, because they are simply too weakly protected.  They have proved vital in several battles with imperial or other chaos forces and were instrumental in the battle with an unnamed ork space hulk and it's escorts, where Doomfires and Ruiners from both carriers managed to cripple the gigantic vessel's engines and main batteries, enabling Khyron's chaos terminators to board the ship and destroy the main power core, detonating the ship.
