Contents
Chapter Cult
The Hospitallers are one of the relatively rare Space Marine Chapters whose Chapter Cult worships the Emperor as a god.[2a]
Known Engagements
- 412.M41 - The Defence of Fabris Callivant from Orks alongside the Iron Hands. Chapter Master Mirkal Alfaran goes missing following the destruction of the Battle Barge Shield of the God-Emperor.[2a]
Organisation
The Hospitallers organise themselves into three companies, the foundations of which are provided by the three oaths new battle-brothers make upon their acceptance of the Chapter's gene-seed: to honour the Emperor who is God; to shield the faithful; and to bring absolution through death to the heretic, the apostate, the unbeliever, and the alien.[2c]
The Chapter's veterans are organised into an elite unit that stands outside the Chapter's three-company structure, known as the Vigil.[2c]
