Background

Their Fortress Monastery is a huge orbital dock around the world Pervigilium, just outside the Cadian Gate. The Angels of Vigilance are especially good at fighting the forces of Chaos as they tend to encounter them during every Black Crusade, as they come through the Cadian Gate. Also, due to their proximity to the Eye of Terror, when the Cadian Gate becalms, they can be seen in their ships, moving into the Eye to fight the forces of Chaos in their own territory.⁴

The entire chapter has never been called up in one go, as each Marine swears an oath never to leave the Fortress Monastery undefended, and each time the chapter is called up, at least one company remains behind.⁴ Several times their Chapter Masters have failed to heed the calls of the High Lords of Terra, and their loyalty has been called into question by some quarters.⁴

It is likely that the Angels of Vigilance are at home around the planet Pervigilium as, just following the Horus Heresy, the planet was assaulted by the Dark Angels and the Angels placed a detachment to watch over the ruling caste, lest they stray from the Imperium again.⁴
