Purgatius III is the homeworld of the Black Templars Chapter.[1]
When a Black Templars force landed on Purgatius III to resupply at one of their Chapter Keeps before resuming their latest Crusade, they drew the attention of a suspicious Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Lord who also happened to be on the planet. Like many in the Inquisition, the Inquisitor Lord had long been concerned by the Black Templars, who they believed numbered in excess of those prescribed by the Codex Astartes. If true, the Inquisition feared the Black Templars may rival the size of the Space Marine Legions of old, and they remember well how such unlimited power led to the Horus Heresy. Believing that an explanation for their Chapter's indiscretions was long overdue, the Inquisitor Lord has led his large retinue and a Sisters of Battle strike force to attack the Black Templars at their Keep in order to gain a full confession of their misdeeds.[1]
