Hospitallers (Chapter)

The Hospitallers is a relatively young Successor Chapter of the Imperial Fists, raised during the 24th Founding a little over two Terran millennia ago. The Hospitallers is a fleet-based Chapter that famously rejected the teachings of the Codex Astartes by which most of its brethren among the Adeptus Astartes abide. The Hospitallers are also one of the few Chapters to recognise the Imperial Cult’s teachings that the Emperor of Mankind is a god. The Hospitallers are firm adherents of the Imperial Creed and maintain close ties with the Adeptus Ministorum upon whose behalf they frequently act. Since the battle for the Knight World of Fabris Callivant, the Chapter has harboured considerable ill-will towards the Iron Hands, who assaulted the Hospitallers’ flagship and abducted their seneschal, the Venerable Dreadnought Augustine Galvarro.
