The '''123rd Pontifical Strikes''' are a a venerated [[Imperial Guard Company|Company]] of [[Inquisitorial Stormtroopers]].{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
In [[M42]]{{Fn|1b}}, they were providing security for [[Inquisitor]] [[Brutus Schenker]]'s [[psyker|witch]] [[Ordo Hereticus|trials]] on [[Ergotia]], when they were suddenly pulled from their duty. Brutus' former [[Interrogator]] [[Aurek Herrenvolk]], was about to conduct an investigation into [[Chaos Cult|Cult]] spree killings within the [[Spetzghast System]] and had requested a detachment of Stormtroopers to aid him. As Aurek's needs were deemed to be greater and that he also out-ranked Brutus, their was nothing the Inquisitor could do to stop the Pontificals from leaving. After they arrived, they would join the [[Battle Sisters]] of the [[Order of the Immaculate Flame]] sweep the System for [[Heretics]]. During the operation, they would be housed within Aurek's personal warship, the [[Dread Sovereign]], though they would rarely see the Inquisitor. The Pontifical Strikes soon began to speculate about the reasons why and some thought Aurek had likely suffered some horrific disfigurement or debilitation. They believed this was likely earned during the Inquisitor's famous service in the [[Hellicon Mitigations]].{{Fn|1a}}
