Trivia
The name Imperial Castellans bears a striking similarity to Imperial Castilians (also a Space Marine Chapter). It is however unknown if that is pure coincidence, a spelling mistake or something else. It should be noted however that the word Castilian means "a native or inhabitant of Castile/ broadly: Spaniard". Which seems a somewhat weird choice for a Chapter name (as opposed to Castellan - "a governor or warden of a castle or fort").
