Phalanx is the mobile fortress monastry of the Imperial Fists.

Originally found by Rogal Dorn, it was given as a gift to the Emperor when Dorn was found near the Ice Hives of Inwit, the Emperor then returned the craft to Dorn when he was appointed leader of the Imperial Fists.

Phalanx itself is gigantic, something of this magnitude has not been seen since the Dark Age of Technology. The size of a small moon, its foredeck could dock a dozen cruisers and its design was like a hive of spires reaching towards the skies. It was such a size that it shone like a star, which was a symbolic representation of the Emperor during the time of the Great Crusade. It is completely mobile and often follows the chapter as it moves throughout the galaxy.

As their fortress monastry is on a movable base, they have no official homeworld. This means they have to recruit from the worlds they conquer.
