Were any of the HH-era Gloriana-class Void Ships not accounted for post-Heresy? I've never read anything about the Lion's or Fulgrim's in their respective novels, did they just not have their own Gloriana vessels?
Tangent, not important to the question at hand:
Spoiler:
I just want to know because I'm working on some fluff for a DIY Renegade Chapter, and I was thinking about having a story in which, after having 80% of the Chapter's fleet and personnel annihilated by Daemons, the Chapter (while posing as members of the Blood Drinkers) discovers a Gloriana Void ship. After they discover the vessel, they immediately begin transferring personnel and Tech-Marines to the craft to attempt to refurbish it. When the craft is discovered, they turn its weapons systems upon their allies and immediately begin smuggling as many fighters, weaons, and other war materiel as they can off of the craft, as was even further damaged during the battle. As the rest of the Imperial Navy elements in the expedition closed in on the heavily-damaged craft, the Renegade Marines took as much tech as they could and fled the system to rendezvous with the Chapter's leadership; meanwhile the Navy blew the Gloriana to smitherines, as a small amount of Serfs and Marines had stayed behind to ensure that the rest of the Chapter's fleet would be able to escape.
To quote a fictional character... "Let's make this fun!"

It's a personal theory of mine that the planet killer is built off the gloriana design, we know abbadon got the vengeful spirit back and that was a gloriana class ship, but that's head cannon, nothing more.
Most where lost in heresy, or after but yes a few do exist.
They where mainly primarchs flagships though.
One of Most advanced imperial battleship ever built, largest, tech was lost but one could survive I guess, the warp is a odd place and who says the 20 flagships where onky ones built.

Sgt. Vanden - OOC Hey, that was your doing. I didn't choose to fly in the "Dongerprise'.

FudgeDumper - It could be that you are just so uncomfortable with the idea of your chapters primarch having his way with a docile tyranid spore cyst, that you must deny they have any feelings at all.
