===Chapter Relics and Fleet===

Astartes Chapters that serve long and courageously in the military of the Emperor often accumulate Relics.  These Relics may be tokens of particularly one-sided or heavily contested victories, or they may be noteworthy gifts from other persons in the Emperor’s service.  Others yet may be battle trophies, technological artifacts, recordings of speeches, or wargear.  The youth of the Blue Daggers is such that they have accumulated little of a relic collection, but they do have a few items of note.
* 	Reach of Terra)  This mighty Power Glaive is among the largest Powered weapons in the Chapter Arsenal.  A token of appreciation from former [[Setting:Cloudburst/Cognomen|Cognomen]] Fabricator General En’Kal for destroying and aiding in the disposal of the Glasian Cylinder that attacked Cognomen, this Power Glaive has an edge even outside of its power field.  Its head leaves a distinct contrail of ionizing gasses in its wake, giving the illusion that it is wreathed in living light.  It has cleaved through all materials on which it has been tested, and is traditionally carried by the Chapter Champion, presently Cesper Clerc.
* 	Chain of Albrinter)  An unusual force field generator.  This relic is a piece of the Chapter’s history.  It originally belonged to the Novamarines, who imparted it to the nascent Blue Daggers when the Chapter formally contributed officers to the new Founding.  Its force field is actually substantially less durable than that of even an Astra Militarum Chaplain’s Rosarius Field, but the chain is feather-light and draws the barest amount of power from the wearer’s backpack generator, and its operation is silent.  Therefore, since there is no drawback to wearing it and it can easily turn aside shrapnel or a brush from a flamer, it is often carried directly into battle by a member of the Council of Masters during Glasian Migrations.  It is presently carried by Chapter third-in-command and Master of the Ships, Gwinnet Eiger.
* 	Tome of the Borderlands)  The Blue Dagger Librarius is small, but orderly and close-knit.  In the large Chapter, the low psyker birthrate makes the recruitment of new Librarians all-important, especially given the Warp-tainted nature of the threat the Chapter was specifically Founded to stave off.  Thus, the Tome of the Borderlands is a crucial part of the Librarius’s efforts.  Within its psycrystal pages is a full listing of the entire library of psykana possessed by the Chapter, including all of its Emperor-blessed psychic warfare techniques, a rough map of the Septiim system’s Warp Currents (which are vigorous with so many inhabited bodies), the psyker birthrates of every planet from which the Daggers recruit, and every single member the Librarius has ever had.  This is in addition to all of the wards, totemic scribings, and litanies of focus, power, and loyalty that every Librarian’s focus book contains.  It is never carried by any member of the Chapter, but is instead left in Master Covum’s secret sanctum, to be studied by any Librarian deemed to have sufficient need by the Council.  Theoretically, it could serve as a very valuable field aid for the Librarius in battle, but it has few combat functions any other psychic focus tome would lack, and so it is left behind to minimize risk.
* 	Starburn)  This relic Plasma Cannon is a huge weapon, the largest plasma weapon any one Marine in the Chapter can carry even with Terminator armor.  Looking more like the cannon of a Macharius Omega than a normal plasma weapon, it burns hot enough in each shot to melt right through Ceramite and Adamantium, and its shots are long-ranged enough and fast-moving enough that they can down a Glasian hovertank with one good hit.  Because of its weight, its bulk, and its enormous power requirements, it is only deployed in the grip of a Terminator even if it could theoretically be used by a strong Marine in good conventional Power Armor.  It is stored in Master Carache’s armory, but it is not his – any Terminator with need of it can make use of it in an emergency.  It is especially often used by the Daggers who work alongside the Deathwatch to constrain alien and piratical threats that fly to Cloudburst from Drumnos in search of easy pickings.
* 	Glint of Knowledge)  This is hardly a relic at all, the Chapter Tech-brotherhood scoffs.  The Glint of Knowledge is only fifteen years old by the Terran calendar according to the serial stamp, hardly an artifact of an ancient master.  However, despite its youth, it stands apart from all other auspexes in the Chapter armory for good reason.  Its power feeds, its multispectral receivers, and its extensive cybernetic connection capability allow any variant, any model, any make of Power Armor to interface with it, and enjoy a vast array of autosenses.  It is somewhat larger than a typical auspex, but that is no obstruction to its use.  It can sit in the equipment slot of a Techmarine’s upper arm segment, it can be strapped to a forearm to keep hands free, it can be carried by its grip, or it could be fastened to the inside of a shield, and it would still work perfectly.  The Glint of Knowledge has the usual array of auspex sensors built into its casing, but also includes a helm-interface flex-cable allowing it to display its findings through the machine spirits of the user’s helm display, overlaying them in Imperial gold.  It also contains a vibration scanner, a metal detector, a composite radiation scanner, and a wind speed analyzer, in addition to its normal functions, making it incredibly useful for hunting Genestealers in the dark.  It was taken as a prize from the pirate ship ''Just Your Luck'', boarded and scuttled by a team of Terminators after it assaulted the Septiim Economic Zone world of ANKH 909.  Its actual origins are a mystery, but it has Forge World serial stamps on it, so it was clearly made on a Martian world and then promptly stolen.
* 	Dead World’s Vengeance)  No relic is viewed with more superstitious dread by the Space Marines of the Cloudburst Sector than this Storm Bolter.  This was the only weapon recovered intact from the planet Chlorit.  After the destruction of the world by the Glasians in the Second Migration, Ordo Xenos inspection ships examined the ruin of the world, its crust turned to molten rock and powdered stone from the blast emanating from the engines of the Cylinder.  There they found world-crushing destruction not far less than that of a full World-scale Exterminatus.  However, there were a few spots on the far side of the planet where the devastation, while more than enough to kill every living thing present, had not destroyed all of the artificial structures.  Perhaps the blast from the Glasians had been too far away, or perhaps the dense metal core of the planet had bent the shockwave aside like a tectonic event.  Regardless, a few buildings were still partially intact.  Inside one of them, a Deathwatch Marine found a Chimaera lodged in a wall, its pintle-mounted Storm Bolter still perfectly preserved by the vacuum.  It was salvaged, and presented by the Ordo Xenos to the Exigent Task Unit Cloudburst.  Since then, there are whispers among the Initiates that the gun is haunted, and the screams of millions of Imperial farmers and soldiers can be heard in the crack of its shells.  Certainly, the gun seems extremely accurate for a Storm Bolter, and when loaded with Kraken rounds, it can punch through armor like a chainsword through glass.  Maybe its Machine Spirits seek vengeance still, or perhaps the Inquisition upgraded it somehow.  Regardless, it is usually carried by the Terminator boarders who teleport onto the Glasian Control Cylinders that invariably assault Septiim in each Migration, so the xeno scum can hear their Vengeance coming.
* 	Final Argument)  This is a celebrated relic of the Scout Company of the Blue Daggers.  This weapon was acquired by Scout Sergeant Frieg on his seven-year stint in the Deathwatch.  An Ultima-series Sniper Rifle, this massive bolt weapon has a range of well over two miles, and its integrated multi-view scope allows for real-time gravity, wind, Coriolis Effect, and bolt movement delay compensation.  No one Scout claims it now, so it is held on the ''Gargantuan'' in the armory of Master Doreth until it is needed.
* 	Faith’s Colors)  The oldest relic of the Chapter is not a weapon at all.  This is a tabard, hood, and robe worn by a Chaplain of the Ultramarines during the assault against the Fortress of Hera by Konrad Curze during the Ruinstorm.  The clothing was preserved in a stasis field by the Novamarines after they inherited it, and was given to the new Chapter as a reminder from the Novamarines to Augustus Alderoster to always be vigilant against those enemies that know the Imperium best: its own Traitors.  Now it sits in the Vault of Aitrandus for all the Chapter to see, a reminder of that most important lesson.
* 	''Unending Shield'')  A Land Raider Crusader and the unofficial command vehicle of the armor fleet of the Blue Daggers.  Manufactured in the great subterranean cities of Calth, this vehicle served the Angels of Fury as a typical Land Raider for most of its life.  However, it was modified into the Crusader pattern after the Black Templars first proved the viability of the design, and was never changed back.  This was the only Land Raider given to the Blue Daggers by the Angels of Fury, alongside its Centurions.  It is outfitted with a Machine Spirit of ferocious violence, two Hurricane Bolters, twin-linked Assault Cannons, a pintle-mounted multi-melta, a Hunter-Killer missile tube, searchlights, smoke dischargers, two Fragstorm packages, extra armor, and a mounted auspex, which sets it apart from most Crusaders.  It is the personal transport of the Captain of the First Company, and is invariably crewed by a Space Marine crew to maximize the capability of the vehicle.  Of course, the Captain of the First may also choose to use the Chapter’s only Land Raider Excelsior or a Damocles Command Rhino instead, and coordinate the troops instead of leading them directly, in which case this Land Raider is simply fielded by the First or Second Lieutenant of the Company.
* 	Spiritual Cast)  This incense container is a small cup and chain, in which ritual blessing incense can be burned and waved over firearms in preparation for use.  The blessing of the machine spirits of the firearms of the Space Marines is always important, and this incense burner was the personal favorite of the founding Master of the Armory of the Blue Daggers.  It is said that the beneficence of the Machine Spirits that he coaxed into the first generation of arms for the Chapter still lingers in this burner, which is kept in a place of honor in Master Alling-Durant’s armory, where the Tech-Brothers anoint their guns before Cylinder boardings.

The flotilla of the Blue Daggers fleet contains but one Battle Barge, the ''Sharp Edge''.  Its eleven Strike Cruisers are the ''Azure Death'', the ''Clashing Stars'', the ''Memories of Honorium'', the ''Name of Wrath'', the ''Scouring Action'', the ''Punishing Gesture'', the ''Blue Flames'', the ''Blackwell'', the ''Valorous Conflict'', and the newest of the lot – the ''Fury’s Sons''.  The fleet also flies two Luna cruisers, the ''Wrath of the Stars'' and the ''Lofty Rage''.
