The order believes that only once the traitor adeptus astartes’ of the chaos legions are purged from the galaxy with bolter and purifying flame that the imperium will have peace. Therefore they guard the Cadian gate with the imperial guard, being housed in an ancient star fort the size of a planet, made from asteroids merged together by forgotten technology around a ramilies class starfort.

C+C WELCOME!
It messes a bit much with established fluff, imho. If they are an Ordo Minoris, why do they need some ancient star fort the size of a planet made be forgotten tech? You honestly think the Ad Mech would just let them prance about in such a thing?

Sisters/Ordo Hereticus are more concerned within internal moral threats, and very a monastery and such, but they are almost constantly on the move/crusade. So, a moving star fort bit is best for SM, not SoB. SoB would be more like strike cruisers, etc.. Or perhaps Ordo Hereticus styled battle barges and capitol ships.

Also, the whole 'forgotten' tech bit is convient and contrived, and far, far over used. If you're going to make it forgotten tech, have it mapped out better. Who made the tech, or who do we think made it? Does it pre-date the Great Crusade, or even the Imperium/conquering of Earth?

My main beef is SoB are NOT garrison forces. I really don't like that bit at all.
