'''Standards''' are ceremonial objects of the [[Space Marine]] Chapters, bearing the symbol of the Chapter and marked with sacred motifs and the battle honours gained in past wars. They are revered as the embodiments of the honour and fighting spirit of the [[Space Marine Company|Companies]] and the [[Chapter]]. Standards are sometimes carried into battle.
Normally they are hung in the [[Reclusiam]] of the Chapter's [[Fortress Monastery|fortress-monastery]]. Many of these standards are ancient, having been carried in battle by generations of Marines.{{Fn|1}}
