Black Templars - Chapter Fleet: The Black Templars have no Chapter homeworld, and instead opt to live within their large crusade fleets of strike cruisers, battle barges and escorts. They are ever-vigilant, and are always ready for battle which is why they have chosen to remain a highly mobile, fleet-based Chapter.This way of life also honours their original Founding Legion, the Imperial Fists, who were a mobile Chapter based upon the great mobile star fortress known as Phalanx.The Black Templars do establish and garrison Chapter keeps on every world they conquer or reclaim, which provide a training base for new recruits for the Chapter and to act as staging points for further crusade fleets.Each crusade fleet is usually led by a Black Templars officer with the rank of Castellan and is charged with carrying out a specific objective.
