The Imperial Navy, known as the Navis Imperialis in High Gothic, is one of the primary armed forces of the Imperium of Man.
While the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) represents the Imperium’s ground forces, the Imperial Navy is responsible for the fleets of starships that maintain order between the stars and planets in the Imperium, for all space and air support provided to the infantry of the Astra Militarum through its Aeronautica Imperialis branch, and for transporting those Guardsmen across the galaxy to the Imperium’s myriad warzones.
The battlefleets of the Imperial Navy are constantly engaging threats both inside and outside the Imperium’s borders.

43:40 Now I get all of my info about ships from Battlefleet Gothic Armada (the game) but from that ship's engine design and shape, that's not even a light cruiser, that's a FRIGATE. In-game escorts like that only exist to detect ships, be annoying in stealth, and die. They are huge in a real scale but compared to everything else they're tiny pests.
As an occasional Rogue Trader, I must sadly inform you that Imperial carriers don't carry thousands of strike craft. A squadron of voidfighters numbers in the dozens, bombers still in the dozens but less dozens, and assault boats generally in the dozen singular. An Imperial standard voidship typically carries three squadrons per hangar bay, though sometimes they carry transports, aeronautica or support craft (repair/salvage vehicles, anything that goes in space but hasn't already been mentioned) in place of one or more squadrons.
Side note, as a Rogue Trader with taste, I must remind you to never listen to stuffy Navy types who try to tell you carriers have no place in the Imperium- they have plenty of place deploying my air support onto a freshly conquered planet.
Unironically, Shy's edits are my favorite part of this trilogy. The whole thing is works together as a team effort of lore, goofiness, and Shy. And Shy is the magic.
Something just clicked. Do they have tabletop space battles?
even in absence shy ruins the episode
Kinda wish the guard catboy was up there in the poster sales just to fuck with bricky
God damn Bricky. You should be a recruiter for the Navy.
The boomsticks
And I imagine life in the imperial navy was not such a good thing at the end of Twice Dead King: Reign :p
An especially hilarious episode! Shy your humor is fantastic and your edits have persuaded me to watch each video and not just listen.
Talk about nostalgia, haven't heard metal mulisha in awhile
Jesus brickie what's up with your mic man don't be running the washer dryer while Ur doing the podcast XD
Damn metal militia. Old old alert old alert
I wander if these three have played Spacehulk Deathwing…that shit give you Tyranid level PTSD lmao jk
"No way, really, you can't have a navy without people?"
well DK you can but that's called Abominable Intelligence and that is a no no, rather big on the heresy scale that is 😆🤣
Does…. Does DK have any pop culture knowledge at all?
METAL MALITIA
A book that has some naval drama that you guys could check out is Relentless! I was quite a fan of it.
Yo shy tell bricky that a rate is just the job name on a ship. My rate was sonartech
😆 you guys rip on Cleveland
🧐 as an ohioan this pleases me
Can't wait to hear about the Avenger
and then there the Phalanx, Abbadon's Planet Killer and Blackstone Fortresses
why yes, I remember the metal militia and am in my early 30's as well!
No talk about the voidborn? The abhuman species that can only live in the zero G environment of imperial ships?
Please do an episode on Xenos navies
But no matter how big these ships are they are still electrons compared to the cosmos.
They are but particles in Heras breast milk.
NGL, i want a "gains for the god emperor" poster now, that would be so freaking sweet
lol dude how pathetic
you lose an argument and you go delete posts to hide it
you already admit you give shit info
misinform people about 40k
thats a core part of this joke show
but instead of learning and becoming better your a child
grow up
laurel crown is what the head leaf thing is called. Like the saying don't rest on your laurels.
50:13 Yes Shepard, you really do sound like that.
Can't wait for the Fulgrim episode to be sponsored by Raid.
Golf clap? Golf clap. 👏
To remind those who don't know the numbers on just a light carrier, a Light Carrier in 40k is 2.2 Km which transfers to around 2405 yards. Which then transfers to 7217 feet, so yeah they're pretty massive
"oh no, the gellar fields are going down"
casually uttering the most horrifying thing you can hear in 40k
"GAINZ FOR THE GOD EMPEROR. ONE DAY, WE CAN LIFT THE GOLDEN THRONE"
Chuck that on a shirt!
2:53 Necron babe is Hot
When are you guys going to listen to Prophets of the Waaagh by guy haley. Ork Youth-"beating up stuff we fight big metal ork we kill then we be big big orks"
Reload crew for guncluster 577b aka the bulletshovlers
Dearest sir bricksalot. I'm sure you will get @'ed by others as well and get it all clarified in the upcoming episode about navy ship types, but The Mornigstar is a modified sword class friggate, so smaller than the light cruiser. On that note, i don't recognise what light cruiser type that is in the scale comparison image. Afaik, there are only two main classes of imperial light cruisers, the dauntless and endeavour, both with a range of variants. That silhouette doesn't match either. Any more info on that?
ps: the eternal crusader is 3.56km tall and 10 long and valrak will probably shiv you for not recognising the flagship of the BT.
30:36 I love how shy uses a pic of Cleveland to perfectly represent a shithole place to live. I grew up in East Cleveland around 101st Street. Still better than taledo tho. We don't talk about taledo.
isnt the mourningstar a destroyer or frigate?
"Shepherd."
Cadia poster! make it happen!
A "Rate" is the job designation. A sailors rating is their job. A engine tecnician, electrician, hull tecnician, gunner, are all ratings. Vox operator, coolant system dude, or whatever jobs there are.
I think DK is overstating the size a little.
Bricky: They can go up to 8km in length.
DK: Woah, those are like continent sized ships!
8km is the size of the small town I live in, with around 5000 other people, definitely not the size of a continent which measure in thousands of km. Btw that is the canon description of a craftworld: "continent sized ships".
On a lore note here also, sure, a town is nowhere near as compact as the ship is, the lower estimates are more than reasonable, but 3 million people? That sounds a little high, like you might fit that many in an emergency situation with people just sleeping in the hallways, like you've evacuated an attacked world, but there ain't no way you can fit, and/or use such a crew on a ship that's 8 clicks long, cmon GW.
I too enjoy the great devourer and shadowsun…lmaoo….if only i had the friggin expendable cash to buy my smut….motocross was great i remember just stunting for hours in the mojave desert lol
Do you want to be attacked by Dark Eldar in a hive city where the masses may be abducted without the peace keepers so much as noticing. Or attacked by Dark Eldar in a giant fuck off space citadel where everyone is trained how to protect the giant fuck off space citadel?
I can't help but notice a distinct lack of mentioning how FTL affects naval mortality rates 🙃
