Fleets have 10+d10 vessels, made up of [[Battle Barge]]s, [[Strike Cruiser]]s and [[Adeptus Astartes Escort| Escorts]] and possibly other vessels; 50% chance they're battle-ready, 50% they're damaged or have other problems. At a minimum, a powerful Battle Barge as a Fortress Monastery, at least a Strike Cruiser and preferably a Battle Barge for each company + Strike Cruisers and Escorts that accompany them. Obviously, fleet based Chapters have larger fleets than then norm.

Quoth FFG:  A Hive world, for example, may be an ash-blasted wasteland—or its rearing spires might form islands of plasteel amidst an endless sea of jungle. Death worlds are often thought of as deadly jungles, but might just as easily be ocean-bound planets. The type of terrain in which a Chapter builds its Fortress-Monastery might have little bearing on its character, but may have plenty, especially if that terrain has shaped the qualities of the peoples from which it recruits.

Note that while plenty of these terrain types can be combined with the categories previously described, some are mutually exclusive. Others might seem so at first glance, but with a little imagination can be combined. For example, an urban Death world seems contradictory, but what if the planet’s malevolent ecosystem has risen against its population, and the once-populace cities are now reduced to post-apocalyptic ruins smothered in choking vines? An ocean Hive-world might feature air-sealed hives at the bottom of the sea, or afloat on great manmade islands. An Urban Hive World might an ecumenopolis with extreme population even by Hive World standards, and almost certainly allows for both Astartes and Guard recruitment out of sheer numbers. In the 41st Millennium, almost anything is possible!
