Raptor Imperialis

The Raptor Imperialis was an early icon employed by the Emperor of Mankind and his nascent Imperium of Man during the Unification Wars and the Great Crusade to represent the Imperial cause. As the great Crusade entered its later stages, the Raptor Imperialis was replaced by the more common Impeiral Aquila icon and it became instead a sigil worn by Imperial troops that indicated that they had personally fought alongside the Emperor in an Imperial military campaign. Sigismund, the First Captain of the Imperial Fists Legion, was known to bear this version of the Raptor Imperialis upon the knee plate of his heavily-modified suit of Mark II Crusade Power Armour.
