The Chapter voluntarily began a penitent crusade to bring them to justice.{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}}
The Iron Knights homeworld (named Seheris in [[Phalanx (Novel)]] by [[Ben Counter]]) is composed of harsh deserts and plains, divided between multiple tribes. As a Chapter, the Iron Knights treat War as a Sport, taking pride in testing their skills in harsh environments and pitting themselves against the most dangerous flora and fauna a planet has to offer as well as the various enemies of mankind. {{Fn|6}}
