Editing Fortress-Monastery (section)

==Overview==
Taking no chances with regards to defence, a Fortress-Monastery will be the most well defended bastion of [[Imperium of Man|Imperial]] strength on the planet it is located (the fact that most Space Marine Chapters live on [[Feral World|Feral]] and [[Death World]]s whose inhabitants are usually unaware of the greater galaxy is not an issue). Indeed, the only way a Fortress-Monastery is ''not'' the most defended base in the entire sector is on the off chance another Space Marine Fortress-Monastery is located in the same sector (though as the Night Lords and Red Corsairs demonstrate to the Marines-Errant, that sometimes doesn't amount to as much as it implies).

Each Monastery will have different buildings and substructures as per tradition or need, but the following locations are almost always present:

*Apothecarion: The fortress-monastery's medical center, where surgical suites for transforming Neophytes into full Astartes is done. It is also the place where [[gene-seed]] is housed and as such is possibly the most heavily warded and fortified area in the entire monastery. Possesses facilities to assist [[Apothecary|Apothecaries]] in gathering genetic data from progenoids and cultivate them into gene-seed organs.
*Armoury: The abode of the Master of the Forge and his [[Techmarine]]s. Serves as the Chapter's motor pool, forge, ammo dump, repair shops, and chapel to the [[Omnissiah]] all in one. Several Chapters with unique equipment, such as the [[Blood Angels]] and the [[Dark Angels]], have special [[Standard Template Construct|Standard Template Constructors]] which fashion unique vehicles and weapons. The Chapter's [[Dreadnought]]s will often be housed in a subsection of the Armory.
*Chapter Master's quarters: The private throne room and personal cell of the [[Chapter Master]]. Frequently the Chapter Council, composed of the chapter's [[Brother-Captain]]s and other senior officers, will meet here to plan campaigns and handle other official matters regarding the chapter as a whole.
*Communal dormitories: Housing for the [[Chapter Serf]]s, when they aren't attending to their duties. Depending on the chapter in question this may be a whole wing of the monastery or simply a janitor's closet next to the sewage system.
*Company blocks: Dormitories for each of the chapter's companies. Each Astartes is given a single small room, called a cell, which houses a bunk and a place to store their [[Power Armour]] and other nick-nacks. Each squad has a personal arming chamber which stores their weapons, ammunition, and replacement parts for their Power Armour. The Brother-Captain will have a larger cell that serves as an office where he can work on the logistical matters of company leadership and a private arming chamber. Each Company block will also house a Company chapel, where the [[Chaplain]] will lead them in prayer.
*Librarium: The abode of the [[Librarian]]s, where the Chapter's records are housed and where potential Librarians are tested. The Chapter's [[Astropath]]s will often work from warded cells located here as well.
*Reclusiam: The abode of the Chaplains, where rituals involving the whole Chapter, such as the coronation of a new Chapter Master or a funeral for an entire company, will be held. The Reclusiam also contains ancient Chapter relics and is overseen by the Reclusiarch, a post sometimes held by the Master of Sanctity. Think of a museum located in the middle of a Cathedral.
