The sacred Chalice of Herne was an ancient artifact from old Terra. On the Federated Suns world of Ander's Moon it had become the symbol of Dukedom and an important ritual device by 3025, as it had become custom that the new Duke of Ander's Moon is anointed with oil from this Chalice at his inauguration.
There is no detailed description of the exact size or appearance of the Chalice of Herne. A picture at the end of the game (when the Chalice has been reclaimed) shows Gideon Braver wielding a jewelled golden goblet.
The Chalice of Herne was stolen from Castle Vandenburg by the Dark Wing in early March 3024, as part of Operation Inroad, and Duke Cameron Vandenburg of Ander's Moon was killed in the process. His heir-apparent, Gideon Braver Vandenburg, was framed for the attack and had to flee Ander's Moon; he subsequently created his own mercenary unit, the Blazing Aces, and set out to recover the Chalice. Within less than five years he had located its whereabouts on a world in the Draconis Combine. The Blazing Aces defeated the defending Dark Wing and reclaimed the Chalice which they triumphantly returned to Ander's Moon.
