The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' are a [[Shield Host]] within the [[Adeptus Custodes]].{{Fn|1}}

==Overview==

The Solar Watch (also known as the '''Castellans of the Blessed Worlds''') have sworn binding oaths to keep guard over the [[Sol System]] and see themselves as the first true line of defence for the [[Imperial Palace]]. Consisting of several Shield Companies of varying strength, the Solar Watch constantly patrol routes between the worlds and void structures of the Sol System from the orbital fortresses of [[Luna]] to the deep-space star forts of the [[Halo Belt]] (except [[Mars]] which Solar Watch trust to maintain to [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] themselves), to ensure that no external threat ever makes it as far as [[Terra]]. Though they typically travel via naval craft and intrastellar trade ships, the Solar Watch maintain a formidable concentration of [[Venerable Land Raider]]s and are typically able to deploy forces that are predominately, if not entirely, mechanised. This ensures they respond swiftly, and with overwhelming force, to any potentially threatening situation that may develop and has allowed the Solar Watch to put an end to [[Daemonic]] [[Cult]]s, [[Inquisition|Inquisitorial coups]] and subtle [[Xenos]] incursions on every world bar [[Mars]].{{Fn|1}}
