The following is a description of the [[Space Wolves]]' fortress-monastery on [[Fenris]]{{Fn|*}}{{Fn|1}}:
*'''Company Chapel''': The most commonly used place of worship. Every [[Space Marine Company|Company]] has its own chapel located within its Company block. This worship is part of the Marine brethren's regime of discipline.
*'''Great Hall''': The Great Hall is the first room you come to when entering the base. It is designed to awe the visiting guests and is the largest single room on the planet (Lucan). It contains many of the battle trophies of the Space Wolves and paintings of famous battles are displayed on the walls. Ancient weaponry and armour from as far back as the Horus Heresy are on display behind plexi-glass. The spacecraft ''[[Medusa (Ship)|Medusa]]'', flown by Leman Russ himself, hangs from the ceiling of the room and spans its entire length.
*'''Barbican''': The Barbican is the massive gate house that leads into the Great Hall. This has a permanent guard to receive guests from overland, air and orbit.
*'''Crypts''': Sacred chambers where fallen battle-brothers are laid to rest.{{Fn|22b}}
