The Cloak of St. Aspira is a Holy Relic of the Ecclesiarchy and especially associated with its Orders Militant. A magnificent cloak of velvet and fur, it was blessed within the Ecclesiarchal Palace on Holy Terra itself to ward away the blows of enemies,[2] and was worn by Canoness Saint Aspira of the Order of the Bloody Rose during her liberation of a hundred worlds from the heretic Denescura.[1]

It incorporated a weave of mesh armour, manufactured through a process now forgotten to the Imperium, lightweight and yet strong enough to stop a killing shot.[3]

By M41, it belonged to the reliquary of the Sororitas convent on Neva, and was worn by Canoness Galatea as she led the punitive expedition to raze the city of Metis and execute the rebellious Baron Holt Sherring.[3]

It would also be worn by Canoness Selena Agna, as she lead the Adepta Sororitas of the Order of the Sacred Rose during the Kaurava Conflict.[4]
