The Justicars

The Justicars are one of the Loyalist Ultima Founding Chapters of Space Marines. After Roboute Guilliman concluded the Indomitus Crusade, the Justicars were formed from the Greyshields of the Dark Angels and their Successor Chapters. They are a fleet-based chapter stationed near the Eastern Fringe of Imperium Nihilus.

Led by Chapter Master Leonus Aristed, Chapter Fleet Gavel now patrols void space near the Varangian System to prevent incursions by the Sons of Colchis and the Thousand Sons, unaware of other potential threats.

The Justicars are often compared to the Black Templars due to being a fleet-based chapter and, more importantly, their steadfast belief that the Emperor of Mankind is actually a god, unlike many of the other Space Marine Chapters. Despite their righteous demeanor, the Justicars are still successors of the Dark Angels and thus are guilty of the ancient secret unknown to the rest of the Imperium. Because of this guilt, they too at times go against the greater wishes of the wide Imperium and hunt the Fallen Space Marines and Chaos.

Chapter Fleet Gavel
Chapter Fleet Gavel is comprised of ten battle barges, one for each of the ten companies of the chapter. The flagship and Fortress-Monastery, The Dawn, is the warship of the First Company, the Retributors.


 * 1st Company, the Retributors: The Dawn
 * 2nd Company, the Solar: Light's Purchase
 * 3rd Company, the Hammers of Caliban: The Lion's Pride
 * 4th Company, the Executioners: Light's Decree
 * 5th Company, the Lawbringers: Staff of the Emperor
 * 6th Company, the Golden Sons: The Truth

 * 8th Company, the Defenders of the True Word: The Bulwark

 * 10th Company, the Suntouched: Judgement's Sentence

It is worth noting that the battlecruisers of the 9th and 10th companies, Judgement's Call and Judgement's Sentence, are sister cruisers due to the teacher and apprentice nature of the two companies. In most situations, when one company is deployed, the other follows.
