A Jericho-class Pilgrim Vessel is a common sight plying the Warp routes between the Adeptus Ministorum's Shrine Worlds and other holy places.
A Jericho-class Pilgrim Vessel is a massive transport vessel used to carry pilgrims of the Imperial Cult to their various sacred destinations in the Calixis Sector and across Imperial space to the various Shrine Worlds and other holy sites of the Adeptus Ministorum.
The Imperium swarms with transport vessels. Millions of these civilian voidcraft plough the space lanes, ferrying pilgrims, ore, fuel, foodstuffs, weapons, materiel, machine parts and luxury goods to untold billions of eager consumers across the galaxy.
Role[]
The gigantic Jericho-class pilgrim ships are converted refinery vessels. Their huge fuel tanks are rebuilt into hundreds of passenger compartments, and a single ship can hold many thousands of the faithful. Accommodations vary; for those with the thrones, the trip can be relatively pleasant, but most must make do with bilge-berths and corpse-starch rations in the ship's cavernous cargo bays. A Jericho can also be repurposed to carry cargo rather than people.
The ships themselves are large, slow, and unwieldy. Most do sport some weapons to discourage pirates, though most buccaneers might look for richer targets.
