* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]''. The setting is ''deliberately'' designed to take into account the possibility of Continuity Snarl by making the tech [[Schizo-Tech|naturally variable]] and everything told is either [[Unreliable Narrator|from skewed viewpoints, propaganda, or possibly inaccurate documents, reports, or histories.]] Its creators' pronouncement is "Everything written about 40k is ''canon,'' but it isn't necessarily ''true.''
** Fortunately, trying to keep up with the plot isn't really the point.
** Even then, the adaptations manage to break it when someone toesn't bother to check the basic premises. MaySuch not apply here but this is the closest thing I've found to a place this piece of critical information belongs:as... [http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Emperor_Class_Battleship Emperor-class battleships] don't launch Space Marine drop pods, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlRfPQP4uhA that was probably close to two full chapters they just flung out there]. It ''does'' carry 8 squadrons of small craft. The number of actual vehicles depends on the craft size, and if we are to believe ''Battlefleet Koronus'', this translates to 160 Fury Interceptors or 320 Lightnings - since the drop pods are even smaller, it's feasible that it ''could'' carry, say, 640. ButThe thisproblem? This would clearly go far beyond simple support action, while the Astartes forces are completely separated (including their own spaceships) and are neither designed nor allowed to be integrated with other forces (such as Navy) like this.
