[[File:The Rock.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The Rock]]
The Rock, also known as the Tower of Angels, is the legendary home and [[fortress-monastery]] of the [[Dark Angels]] Space Marine [[Chapter]]. It is thought to be a remnant of [[Caliban]] itself. The Rock travels around the galaxy and visits most of the Dark Angels' recruiting world, and the [[Watchers in the Dark]] patrol its halls; an example of a Watcher is the small hooded being that follows Supreme Grand Master [[Azrael]] around, carrying the [[Lion Helm]]. The Rock is larger than any conventional class of [[Imperial]] warship and is capable to laying waste to entire fleets with its massive array of weaponry. The Rock is further protected by a constant escort of [[Frigate]]s and squadrons of [[Thunderhawk]] Gunships.<sup>1-p10</sup>
Deep within the bowels of the Rock are cells in which the [[The Fallen|Fallen Angels]] are held. [[Luther]] is imprisoned there, kept alive over 10,000 years after his costly betrayal of the Dark Angels. Luther rants and raves, claiming that he has no need of repentance or confession, for the Lion - who he claims is near - will soon return and absolve him. <sup>1</sup> Ubeknownst Unbeknownst to any, the sleeping body of [[Lion El'Jonson]] is hidden in the heart of the Rock, guarded by the Watchers. <sup>2</sup>
