Chapter Fleet - Fortress Monastery :Righteous Hand.

 

Fortress Monastery Hulk Righteous Hand is a Salvaged Ark Mechanicus Omnissiah's Load, lost to the Warp during the Horus Heresy whilst en-route to resupply Raven Guard post Istvan V masacre. Recovered after purge of Space Hulk Designated Servant of Damnation, it was loaded with replacement wargear, especially large quantities of Mark VI Corvis Power armour and Indomitus Pattern Terminator Armour. Which bolster and reinforce the Chapters' losses. Gifted to the Chapter following refit as a reward for discovery of STC fragments in pre-imperium DaoT vessels in the hulk. This former Ark Mechanicus, not much larger than a Retribution class Battleship, serves as the fleet base in lieu of a flagship Battle-Barge, the self-contained and self -sustaining nature of an Ark Mechanicus as well as its vast storage capacity and weaponry suits it well for this void-based Chapter. Especially due to their remit as Space Hulk cleansers. Their use of six BattleBarge class vessels(FAFO, Unrelenting Logic, Indefensible Argument, Digit Impertinent, Scassa Malacka and Mighty Ashford's Song) as well as numerous vanguard and strike cruisers, backed up by impressive numbers of Hunter-class Destroyers makes this fleet based Chapter adept at pursuing and intercepting Space Hulks that translate in-system as well as frequently accompanying Rogue Trader and Mechanicus exploratory expeditions.
