The '''One True Armour{{Fn|2}}''' is a suit of [[Power Armour]] commonly seen worn by the [[Emperor]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
Always depicted as golden, after his wounding by [[Horus]] during the [[Siege of Terra]] it is said that the Emperor's armor armour was removed and melted down at his own order in order to create badges to honor honour the [[Imperial Fists]] [[Terminator]]s that had fought beside him.{{Fn|3}} Pieces of the Armour are placed inside the [[Crux Terminatus]] worn by an especially honored honoured [[Space Marine]] [[Terminator]]s. Meanwhile, ''all'' [[Grey Knights]] Cruxes contain a shard of the Armour.{{Fn|2}}
The right Gauntlet of the One True Armour is currently in possession of the [[Dark Angels]], who used it to create thousands of Crux Terminatus badges.{{Fn|2}}
The armour's primary material is [[Auramite]], the same as the armour of the [[Adeptus Custodes]], that is styled after it. Auramite was chosen as it is almost quantum-inert, and so is an effective material for the use of psychic abilities and the manipulation of warp energy, second only to bare skin in terms of conductivity.{{Fn|4}}
