It is said that Acclamator was the backbone of the Republic navy before they were forgotten by them as venators and victory star destroyer was rolled out.
To the Imperium that already been using it for almost millennia and countless galaxies, it was the jack of all trades vessel. Used by all factions of the imperial hierarchy.
Pdf fleets, Expedition fleets, Imperial guards, Rogue trader and the space Marines legions
Budget friendly, easy to make, low profile and less maintenance hassle.
Unlike the galactic republic that abandoned its design the moment Venators were into play, the Celestial Imperium have created more variants of this vessels, their version is more geared for more better utility and versatility.
As this two was the first ships to arrive as the first line of defense before the true ships of the imperium begin to be manufactured.
Stock variant:
Purpose: Training Vessel, Blockade runner/ Troop transport/ makeshift escort class (due to the fact that most imperium's ships are enormous in size.)
After years, if not a millennium of usage long before the galactic republic was birth in the minds of the people, this is the standard ship to transport regiments across the stars.
If one was destroyed, twenty took their place that it was called the Imperial Guard in space.
It was mockingly called the "Imperial Guard in Space" due to the sheer output being tossed into the fray.
Or codename, Pizza Slice.
Upgrades of engine and armor have made it more durable than their Republican ships.
And the turbolasers were replaced by small lancer batteries that have the power of a macro lance.
Making it outranged and outgunned their originals.
Its torpedoes tubes and missile launcher have been modified to lauch a exterminatus if necessary.
This ship is more common in the Imperium, and its versitility and mods is more common than the republic.
Merchant and mercenaries fleets is allowed to buy the stock version from the Mechanicum to Ferry goods across the imperium.
And the the basic structure allowed it to meet the modification for the needs.
Common Call Sign: Pizza Slice, Pick me Asshole, Lil Giant, Space Imperial Guard, Arrowhead, Cannon fodder in space.
Estimation of Ships:
1 = Pizza Slice
6 = Half a Pizza Box
12 = Pizza Box
36 = Pizza Party
72 and above = A Fiesta run.
Acclamator II
Purpose: Brawlers, Anti-Piracy, Anti-Capitol
The ship is more focused on brawling than landing soldiers on the ground.
It forgoes troop capacity with ammo space.
This variant is more thicker armor and shielding, in exchange their weapons range is limited in exchange they held more heavily armor piercing and faster cannon, it is a thesis on how much can you spend before you go broke.
Brawler because across the hulls is laden with weapons that is focused on taking down bigger targets.
The torpedo tube is replace by a Necron gauss cannon. And the Quad Micro Lancers is replaced with Black hole Rail gun.
Often called by others "Small shark"
Acclamator III
As the war waged on, the need for escort ships version of fighter screen is required.
this variant is a modified carrier and anti fighter support, it forgoes all the former variants weaponry for more point defenses than fighting out in the battle field, it is a carrier escort than its predecessors. The only weapons against capital grade weapon is imperial graded torpedoes and missiles.
Mainly the PDF and Anti Piracy groups used it as a Capital ships due to infrastructure, logistics and manpower concerns that is unable to supply the outer territories of the Imperium.
And it is the first training ship for Imperial Carrier Doctrine.
Favorite motto:
"If you can't fly with this wings, ya ain't enough for the big guns"
Acclamator IV
The current iteration.
Purpose: [Classified]
That survive the fires of the clone wars and its design have proven useful.
This is the last major retrofit against the newly made Galactic Empire.
The retrofit removed all pretenses and is filled with Necron technology.
Gauss cannons and the technology improved that this variant have the power of a Luna class lance battery due to miniaturization of weaponry.
Affectionately called by the Galactic Empire as "Pandora Box" because they looked so identical to their previous designs until they reach visual range. By then the ship would have crippled the opposing fleets.
Acclamator Experimental:
This designation is a fact that all ship under this category is the most dangerous.
Battlefield prototypes that would change a battlefield.
Once their data have been proven useful, they are sent back and used for mass production via the Star forge that obeyed the High Lord.
One such ship have a Wave motion engine that is famously known to crack a Confederate fleet in a single beam.
That got the Imperium conservative to believe. Smaller is good, but crammed as much cannons is even better.
Astartes Acclamators:
This designation is created on the basis of the Astartes needed a screening fleet for their Battle Barges and Cruisers.
Some of the Legions modified some of their own as if to be unique in a sense....
Iron warrior "Athena" class Acclamator:
This variant is made by a bored iron warrior that have the free time.
This is a sniper variant.
Its engine have been reconfigure to produce massive amounts of energy to a macro lance cannon attached below the hull, making it a dangerous slow moving foe and fortification breaker.
It can become invincible from naked eye and teleport without causing space to be felt.
First appearance:
It was first seen in Felucia that accompanied the 12th and 31st Catachan Regiments that attempted to capture this planet and had a nickname from the survivors of both the cis and the republic.
"Nightmare of Felucia Report" Awaiting citation.
Emperor Children "Phoenix Peacemaker" Acclamator.
Purpose: Negotiations and Blockade runner.
Not much have known from the outside Galaxy due to the fact it was basically a up armored and heavily shielded than the rest of the legion.
Across the hull is filled with statues of heroes and motif of their prided history.
the innards, filled with library and artwork to show the people that chosen the imperium grace, that they too share the path they were given.
The unique feature of this vessel is the legion used it for diplomacy for foreign races by enlighten the glory of the Imperium with the amount of cultural history to bear witness, with little weaponry, but if things went wrong it can evacuate the Imperial Ambassadors and escape in haste.
Luna Wolves "Spearhead" Class Acclamator
Purpose: Breakthrough, Boarding Actions
This Acclamator variant was a joke among the Legions.
As quoted by one of the Luna Wolves
"If the White scars heard of this, they would be the first to buy this in bulk."
Apart from looking similar to the stock
It was filled with thrusters, and a powerful reactor and the bow was equip with a Neo-Ceramite Blade with a boarding tube in the center across the spine for ramming speed.
And it had the nickname of Void surfer as it was basically the fastest of all the Acclamator. And in that giant blade is a gate to allow boarding actions big enough to fit a dreadnought. If the targeted ship is not cleaved in half that is...
Alpha Legion "Harmonica" Acclamator
Purpose: [Redacted]
[Missing_Files]
Iron hands Gorgon finger Acclamator
Purpose: Saturation, Suppression.
A iron hands sought to improve it.
Also known as the insufferable as it removed the comfort of human space and replace it with pragmatic to the extreme. It is modular and focused on firepower.
It forgoes any armor and equipment is basically cramming as much guns as possible on the hull.
Crew is only 160 due to the sheer automation that even Alexander Progressive nature to reduce the manpower to field more ships look like a joke
Their old tendency of using the Iron throne to link up the crew have some... Questionable efficiency.
As the longer the crew man this gun filled vessel the chance their nervous system would be burn out.
It was first recorded to participate in the Battle of Jabiim where the Republic sent 5 fleets to eradicate the Jabiim Nationalist that joined the Celestial Imperium and 2 of the said fleet was stopped by the 20 of the Iron Hands Gorgon Fingers
World Bearers "Monastery" Acclamator
Purpose: Preaching, Indoctrination, Faith Inter (basically it.)
It a Acclamator that housed Libraries of copy's of the Imperial religious text and basically a Church in space. It often found in fringes of Imperial space to keep the faith of humanity and the god emperor as long as it could. Essentially a Portable Armoured Church with Baptism pools and more church seats for those that visited it.
A group of trusted Acolytes of the Imperium Religion would understand that being station in this Ship, sole purpose was to spread the word of the God Emperor light.
If by any chance if it was killed in battle, or destroyed by rebels. The foe would be in a nightmare. As it may housed copies of what the Imperium may hold... In the act of destroying it would be akin to apostasy and call of a crusade on the surrounding sectors And subsector.

Death Guard "Medici" Acclamator
Purpose: Recovery and replenishment
(Redacted on the behest of Mortarion)
Night Lord's "Ghost Hymm" Acclamator
Purpose: [Redacted]
[Redacted by the Highest authority, High Lord of Terra or Any given Primarch clearance level needed]
Rogue trader variant:
Acclamator have plenty of purposes and it is interested by the rogue traders that came from the Old Imperium.
And cheap and easy to buy in bulk, the only difference is that the troop capacity is removed for cargo capacity. And the command deck is linked to the mother ship that is filled with explosives embedded across the hull, if the crew thinking of going rogue and separate from the Rogue trader fleets. The rogue trader simply press the switch and end the rebellion quickly.
Morbid but wealth is the mind of most of those that arrived in the galaxy to trade.
(A/n): there are subtle hints in this filler.
Sorry for the late updates.
I'm just way to busy in the farm after my recovery.
Honestly the west in my eyes is so focked that even I rather stay definitely in China.
When I heard what Virginia, USA enacted their law, I knew democracy is tyranny, because the "people" voted their chains.
Low punishment for criminals, Ban on legal owning of guns, Tax on Uber, No Ballot hand counting. No Id requisite, online voting?
Tell me if that's not fuckin joke?
Even the CCP have more laws that is upheld than this bull shit.
