Order of the Bloody Rose frigate
The frigate that carries Augusta's squad of the Order of the Bloody Rose inwards from the Convent Sanctorum on Ophelia VII to the shrine world of Opal. The novel opens in her flooded bilge, the five Sisters wading through icy water, chanting a battle-hymn, hunting a foe their auspex cannot find.

www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/DZem1oqa/battle-sisters-stalk-xenos-in-this-exclusive-excerpt-from-the-new-danie-ware-novel-the-rose-in-darkness/ (publisher's excerpt, read directly 2026-10-01): 'The Star had travelled safely from the Convent Sanctorum on Ophelia VII and Augusta thanked Him for the frigate's strength and spirit'; 'The Star's engines rumbled as she shifted slightly, aligning herself with the planet's orbit'. NAME-COLLISION CHECK: no index record is called the Star; the id carries '-frigate' because 'the Star' is a generic phrase. Whether 'Star' is her full name or a short form is not stated.
archetype 'escort' because the excerpt calls her a frigate, an escort-class hull. The same passage's first line calls the ship 'the freighter'; frigate is the word used of the Star herself. No class name is published.
