Space Marine Fleet-Based Fortress-Monastery

Fleet Based refers to Space Marine Chapters not based on a homeworld. They possess only a fleet, one of the fleet ships usually serving as the Fortress Monastery. They are naturally among the most mobile chapters. Some fleet-based Chapters are also called Crusade Chapters.^{[Needs Citation]}

Many chapters who rebelled at some point but were granted forgiveness are fleet-based crusade chapters because they were forced to forfeit their homeworld.^{[Needs Citation]}
