== Chapter Homeworld ==
[[Naucratis]] is a [[Deathworld]] with an emphasis on sand. Literally the planet has been reduced to sand, caves, and the occasional dinosaur-infested jungle filled with man-eating plants and the only water available on the surface.
* The Celestial Wardens primarily recruit from Piraeus, a [[Hive World]] of jungles both urban and natural.
* Chapter Master Theon maintains contact with the Planetary Governor of Piraeus and avoids interference in mundane affairs if possible.


(In case you were wondering, it gets everywhere)
* The Chapter roam in their moderate fleet, defending the [[Veiled Region]] of [[Segmentum#Segmentum_Pacificus|Segmentum Pacificus]].
 
The planet is governed indirectly by the Chapter, using a local system of stewardship to keep an eye on the populace and ensure that sufficient numbers of initiates are provided from the toughest young men.
 
The people of [[Naucratis]] have a tribal culture, based around the idea that life is precious and temporary. Traveling caravans are frequent and refer to their own men as "Brother" despite age or relation. This carried over into the Basilisks' culture with each Space Marine of the chapter referred to as such. This familiar title is dropped for outsiders until trust is established, or until a proper title has been provided by the outsider to be called.

== Organization ==
The Basilisks follow the Codex Astartes loosely. The primary way in which they diverge from Codex adherence is to maintain a 2nd Company of Scouts.
The Basilisks use the following:
* [[Devastator Squad|Overwhelming Firepower]]
** Use of Heavy weapons
* [[Scout Squad|One Shot, One Kill]]
** Use of Sniper weapons


Unlike [[Black Templars|some Chapters]] that treat their Scouts as cheap cannon fodder, the Basilisks treat their Scouts with respect and have veterans amongst the normal unit. In addition to Bolters, Scouts are often equipped with Sniper Rifles to open up the enemy's ranks for career advancement opportunities. (Someone has to become the new Captain, right?)
