The Damocles Command Rhino, both the Deimos Pattern first used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and the later Mars Pattern Damocles that would become more common, were first designed and prototyped by the Ultramarines Legion sometime during the Great Crusade. The Damocles Command Rhino would eventually become a principal command and control vehicle and its use would spread to all of the Legiones Astartes by the latter days of the Great Crusade. The Damocles was designed to fulfill a void in the Ultramarines' armoury for a command and control vehicle that was less resource intensive to manufacture and easier to deploy than the Proteus-Explorator Land Raider variants, which were commonly used to fulfill this role during the early period of the Great Crusade.

  • The Damocles Command Rhino, both the Deimos Pattern first used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade and the later Mars Pattern Damocles that would become more common, were first designed and prototyped by the Ultramarines Legion sometime during the Great Crusade. The Damocles Command Rhino would eventually become a principal command and control vehicle and its use would spread to all of the Legiones Astartes by the latter days of the Great Crusade. The Damocles was designed to fulfill a void in the Ultramarines' armoury for a command and control vehicle that was less resource intensive to manufacture and easier to deploy than the Proteus-Explorator Land Raider variants, which were commonly used to fulfill this role during the early period of the Great Crusade. The Damocles was also less marked than the powerful Spartan Hermetika siege command vehicles which were starting to enter service during the last days of the Great Crusade, before the horror of interstellar civil war encroached upon the Imperium. The Damocles was very successful in its task. Unfortunately, as it was built upon the ubiquitous Rhino chassis the Damocles was far less durable than either of its counterparts. While the Mars Pattern of the Damocles Command Rhino is still widely used by the various Space Marine Chapters in the late 41st Millennium, it is unknown if any of the Deimos Pattern vehicles are still in active duty or if any survive at all, locked deep in stasis vaults or armoured reliquaries awaiting the day they are needed again by the Imperium.
