Vexilla Imperialis

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Vexilla Imperialis is a Red Scorpions Battle Standard that was awarded to them by the High Lords of Terra as a mark of triumph, following Lord High Commander Carab Culln's successful pursuit of the Badab War. Because of this, the Vexilla Imperialis is one of the Red Scorpions' most precious relics and only the Chapter's Ancients who have performed a great dead in battle, are given the sacred charge of carrying it into battle. The Vexilla Imperialis is currently being carried by Sirae Karagon and following Culln's internment within a Leviathan Dreadnought, the Battle Standard now acts as a galvanising force for the Chapter and is a physical symbol of their former Lord High Commander's heroic sacrifice. In battle, the mere sight of the Vexilla Imperialis will now make the Red Scorpions fight on, even in the face of appalling wounds and overwhelming opposition.[1]
