===First Founding=== *'''[[The Rock]]''': The Fortress-Monastery of the [[Dark Angels]]. Originally known as the ''Tower of Angels'', served as the primary headquarters of the Dark Angels on [[Caliban]]; its impressive [[void shields]] allowed it and the country size landmass (not hyperbole) it sits on to survive the planet's destruction. In the aftermath, the chapter installed massive warp and real-space engines into it's bulk, effectively turning an otherwise ordinary asteroid into one of the deadliest vessels in the Imperium. The Rock also serves as <s>a miniature Gitmo ''really, it's more Alcatraz'' for the [[Fallen Angels]]</s> NOTHING MORE THAN A STANDARD FORTRESS-MONASTERY, BECAUSE THE DARK ANGELS HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. *'''Quan Zhou:''' The Fortress-Monastery of the [[White Scars]], located on [[Chogoris]]. Originally the site of [[Jaghatai Khan]]'s fortress in the Khum Kharta mountains, like the Blood Angels Fortress-Monastery, the White Scars fortress-monastery went years without an official name before finally getting one in 6th Edition. Perhaps its most notable feature is that the procession leading up to the fortress's main gate is lined with the [[Ork|pike born rotting heads]] of the chapter's enemies. *'''The Fang:''' The Fortress-Monastery of the [[Space Wolves]], and the tallest mountain on [[Fenris]], also one of the three most fortified locations in the Imperium ''(The others being [[Terra]] and the [[Imperial Knight|Keep Inviolate]] on [[Imperial Worlds|Kolossi]])'' Unsurprisingly, whoever did the Fenrisian to Imperial Gothic translation screwed up. The Wolves (who call themselves the ''Vlka Fenryka'') refer to their fortress-monastery as the ''Aett'', which in Imperial Gothic means "clan home" or "den". *'''[[The Phalanx]]:''' The Fortress-Monastery of the [[Imperial Fists]]. While it's origins remain conflicted it was first encountered by the Emperor during the Great Crusade in the [[Inwit]] System piloted by [[Rogal Dorn]]. Phalanx is described as the largest and most destructive man made creation in the Imperium. The size of a moon/planetoid, it's size is so vast that it shines like a star. It has bitch slapped everything it has come across and was totally badass during The 13th Black Crusade. *'''Arx Angelicum:''' The Fortress-Monastery of the [[Blood Angels]], built upon Mount Seraph, the largest mountain on [[Baal]]. Despite more than 25 years, four novels, and three and a half codices (they split ''Codex: Angels of Death'' with the Dark Angels in 2nd edition) the damn thing wasn't given a name until Guy Haley's recent Dante novel. *'''[[Land-Behemoth|Land-Behemoths]]:''' The Fortress-Monasteries of the [[Iron Hands]]. The planet [[Medusa]], the Iron Hands homeworld, is so tectonically unstable that the Iron Hands cannot risk making a single structure to house their gene-seed, Armoury, and Chapter relics, so each clan-company uses an [[Centurio Ordinatus|Ordinatus]]-sized vehicle known as a Land-Behemoth to travel around in. *'''Fortress of Hera:''' The Fortress-Monastery of the [[Ultramarines]], located in the Mountains of Hera on [[Macragge]]. It was the site where [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s gestation pod landed as well, hence the significance of the place to begin with. Notable for housing the [[Spiritual Liege]] (until he got woken up by [[Belisarius Cawl|an old man in red robes]] and [[Yvraine|a sassy Eldar lass]], that is), being huge and having Maccrage's capital city, Magna Macragge Civitas, situated in the plain below its walls. *'''Prometheus:''' The Fortress-Monastery of the [[Salamanders]]. Prometheus is the moon of [[Nocturne]], but in reality, the fortress-monastery is little more than a spaceport and barracks for the First Company, while the bulk of the Salamanders Chapter live in the Chapter's company Bastions in and around Nocturne's Sanctuary Cities. *'''Ravenspire:''' The Fortress-Monastery of the [[Raven Guard]], located on [[Deliverance]]. Originally the guard tower for the Kiavharan enslavers, the Ravenspire was re-purposed as the stronghold of the Deliverance freedom fighters. [[Corvus Corax]] has a delicious sense of irony. Its edifice still bears the scars of battle received during the slave uprising ten thousand years later.
