'''Fortress-monasteries''' are enormous fortresses where [[Space Marine]] [[chapter]]s have their headquarters. Chapters are highly monastic as well as military organizations. As the Space Marines are all warrior-monks in this regard, their fortress-monasteries are devoted both to battle and worship.
Fortress-monasteries are usually based on Imperial worlds, or on deserted moons or asteroids. In the case of fleet-based chapters the chapter flagship serves as a mobile fortress-monastery. The locations of some [[Adeptus Astartes Homeworld|chapter planet]]s are hidden while others are well-known. The preferred location for a fortress monastery is an Imperial world,{{cnCite This}} which the Chapter Master is sometimes also the planetary governor of. In other cases the Chapter Master will make a deal with the existing [[planetary governor]], paying a tithe in return for the land they occupy.{{cnCite This}} They are usually welcomed by governors, as the presence of Space Marines deters invasion.
