==Present Day==
'''Standards''' are the most revered of all the [[Chapter]]'s artefacts. each standard has proudly flown over a hundred battlefields{{Fn|2}}, heavy with the glories of the Chapter{{Fn|44a}}. Every space marine will understand the exact meaning of every nuance and reference that has been woven into their lavish designs.{{Fn|2}}
As holy relics and objects of worship, they are hung in the [[Reclusiam]] of the Chapter's [[Fortress Monastery|fortress-monastery]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|87c}} Once a banner has been damaged, it will grace the halls of the Chapter Fortress-Monastery.{{Fn|3}}
==Types of Standard==
===Chapter Standard===
[[Image:CrimsonFistsBanner.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Crimson Fists]] Chapter Banner{{Fn|174b}}]]
A chapter will own a number of Chapter Banners, but only one may ever be in use at any given time. It will have been consecrated by the Chapter' [[Reclusiarch]] and dedicated to the heroes of the Chapter past, present and future{{Fn|3}}. It is the physical representation of the honour of the Chapter.{{Fn|7a}}
===Company Standard===
The company banner is the physical heart of the company on the battlefield, and every Space Marine, from the most inexperienced Scout to the hoariest veteran, fights all the harder in its august presence. The Standard Bearer is trusted never to let the standard out of his grip while he still draws breath - to do otherwise is to invite the most terrible and shameful dishonour.{{Fn|44a}}. A Company Standard is carried into battle by a [[Company Ancient]], typically part of a [[Space Marine Command Squad|Command Squad]].{{Fn|6}}
