Escort vessels are widely employed in the Imperial Navy to protect the more vulnerable capital ships of a battlefleet so that they will survive in combat long enough to bring their heavy weapons batteries to bear on the foe. The Dauntless-class light cruiser is an ideal heavy escort for most Imperial battleships. As well as its Escort role in the Imperial fleet, the Dauntless is also used as a fleet reconnaissance vanguard, acting as the eyes and ears of fleet commanders. Dauntless-class vessels often operate well in advance of the main fleet and use their Auspexes to glean information on the enemy ships that they then relay to the main fleet, which can determine where and when to engage the enemy that will prove most advantageous.

The appearance of a Space Hulk is one event that can put an Imperial star system in jeopardy. It is often a Dauntless-class cruiser that is the first Imperial warship to intercept and investigate these haunted leviathans because of their impressive speed and their role as scouts. The Dauntless-class light cruiser is also often the Imperium's first choice when it needs a starship to serve in a primarily non-combat role. For instance, Adeptus Mechanicus Explorators regularly use this type of starship as a way of exploring the galaxy in search of lost technology and new worlds for the Imperium to settle. This ideal light cruiser carries enough firepower to protect itself on extended missions and enough fuel and supplies to remain in deep space and away from naval bases for months at a time. It is worth noting that many branches of the Imperium other than the Imperial Navy have been known to use this class of ship, including several Chapters of Space Marines, including the Ultramarines, who make use of them in their large Chapter fleet. Some of the most powerful Rogue Traders have also been known to use a Dauntless-class light cruiser as their flagship, though only the wealthiest and most well-connected Rogue Traders possess the pull with the Imperial navy to acquire a warship of this type.
