The '''Typhon Imperator''' is a massive paracausal vessel used by [[Emperor Calus]] after becoming a [[Disciples of the Witness|Disciple]] of [[the Witness]] for the invasion of [[Earth]] and later [[Neptune]].

Following his anointment as the latest Disciple of the Witness, Calus was given the Typhon Imperator as his personal flagship and base of operations for his [[Shadow Legion]]. It was first shown emerging from hiding within the shadow of [[Jupiter]] alongside [[Essence]], the Witness' [[Pyramid]] flagship, and the rest of the [[Black Fleet]].


During the opening events of ''Lightfall'', the Typhon Imperator was initially seen cruising amongst the [[Black Fleet]], and later led the invasion fleet of Neptune, with the intent of seeking a paracausal artifact hidden there known as [[the Veil]]. A large section of the city of [[Neomuna]] has since become flattened and demolished by the parking of Calus's flagship, looming over the city's skyline from [[Ahimsa Park]].
During the opening events of ''Lightfall'', the Typhon Imperator was initially seen cruising amongst the [[Black Fleet]], and lead a whole armada of [[Cabal_Warship]]s carrying his Shadow Legion troops as its own flagship. It would disembark from the rest of the Pyramid fleet towards [[Neptune]] with the intent of securing a paracausal artifact known as [[the Veil]], hidden away at the advanced city of [[Neomuna]]. On Calus' orders, the massive ship descended downwards through the planet's atmosphere and demolished a whole district of reclaimed land within the city as its landing, looming over the city's skyline from [[Ahimsa Park]].  


==Overview==
==Overview==
The design of the ''Typhon Imperator'' incorporates both aspects of the [[Pyramid]]s' haunting, geometric architecture and Calus's extravagant, gaudy tastes. Its profile is a flattened arrow-like shape, with a wide front and tapered wedge-shaped stern. There are four sections between the main body and the base of the tail wedge that are "cut out" from the broader front half of the ship's body. At the very front of the vessel's bow is what appears to be a Sphinx-like statue or figurehead of Emperor Calus in his new form as a Disciple. Directly above and behind the Calus figurehead is a flat plateau-like structure that is trapezoid-shaped when viewed from the front, possibly the ship's bridge. Behind the plateau are at least six rectangular towers. The whole hull is peppered with the same orange lights as the Pyramids.

According survey analyses ran by Neomuni city archivist [[Quinn Laghari]], Calus's ship have hijacked many of the city's utility systems and even polluted the surrounding environment with an unknown contaminant its been dumping.


Though many of the main aspects of the ''Typhon Imperator'''s interior are similar to what was seen within Rhulk's [[Sunken Pyramid]], Calus's characteristic love of opulence has led to golden statues of himself being found along with other aspects of Cabal memorabilia being located throughout the vessel, even chests overflowing with treasures being littered about in some hallways and chambers. As expected, likely at the center of the vessel lies a chamber with a golden throne for the emperor.
