Standard of Retribution
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Standard of Retribution is one of the three Sacred Standards of the Dark Angels. The Standard is said to inspire the Dark Angels around it to fight on under any circumstances; offering no forgiveness to their enemies and striking out with righteous zeal.[1]
It is tradition that only one of the three banners is carried into battle at any given time, whilst the other two are kept in the Great Hall in the Rock;[1] although it is recorded that all three standards were flown during the Second Mortis Gate Campaign.[2]
