The shard of Emperor's armor is only in the Crux Terminatus of Terminator Captain armor. I changed the article accordingly.
'''Terminator Armour''' or '''Tactical Dreadnought Armour''' is the toughest and most powerful form of personal armour humanity has ever developed. The scarcity and expense to maintain Terminator suits means they are available only to the elite troops from the veteran companies of the Adeptus Astartes [[Space Marine]] Chapters.
Terminator armour was developed thousands of years ago by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] Tech Adepts of Mars. Its design is a blend of [[Dreadnought]] armour, standard Marine [[power armour]] and heavy suits used by engineers working in the most hostile environments (such as micro-asteroid plagued orbits or radioactive engine cores of stellar frigates). Terminator suits, similar to power armour, have an outer shell of [[ceramite]] bonded plates powered by electrically-motivated fibre bundles. Plates of heavy [[plasteel]] further armour the ceramite sections, especially on the front of the suit. External [[adamantium]] ribs support the immense weight of the armour. The shoulder displays the [[Crux Terminatus]] badge, each of which , when worn by a Terminator captain is said to contain a piece of the Terminator Armour the [[Emperor]] wore when he fought [[Horus]] during the final battle of the [[Horus Heresy]].
Due to the massive strength its fibre bundles and advanced servo motors afford the wearer, weapons normally too heavy to be considered man portable can be used without impeding performance. [[Heavy Flamer]]s and [[Assault Cannon]]s can be wielded with the same ease a normal man would a handle a [[Lasgun]] or [[Boltgun]].
