Aquila

The Sign of the Aquila is a widely recognized hand gesture that demonstrates unwavering loyalty to the Imperium of Man, a symbol that every citizen within its vast territories knows intimately. It serves as a neutral greeting or farewell gesture when one is uncertain about the recipient's rank and/or the proper etiquette in the situation at hand. There exists some debate regarding the precise execution of the gesture: the Sign of the Aquila has its user place their hands flat on their chest, with thumbs interlocked to form the iconic image of the Imperial Eagle on the chest, while straight fingers symbolize its majestic wings. Often accompanied by a nod or slight bow, this gesture conveys respect and allegiance in a subtle yet powerful manner.
