I like the idea of Fleet Based combat aswell as an entire Fleet Based Chapter. It gives a sense of more mobility..

With the word "TERRA" in our name it`s really REALLY hard to be homeworld based :P

I say we`re fleet based and... well... lost in space

Perhaps fleet based. Rather Dark Angels like, in that our Home world was demolished, hence our insane crusading nature and our wandering out of the system.

I say we have a home world/moon (for fluff purposes), but we are primarily fleet based.

no way if our home world was demolished that would mean we lost a major battle. losing major anything sucks

I like the Idea of fleet base combat. flying around looking for chao's marines to slap around. ork WAAAGH!S to ruin. besides that we get to NAME our fleet and all its ships. that means more voting!

i like the idea of a fleet based around a giant mobilised asteriod or some such. then we can take the "homeworld" to war with us! or is that too dark angel-esk?

Being a chapter based inside Sol...and as we have been given the honor of having a monestary inside the system and drawing cruits' from Terra itself...it makes sense that we are fleet based...as we could claim Terra as our homeworld, but because of it's population and restrictions to entry we have moved off world to establish a base and defensive measures...so yes fleet based is the logical solution to this perplexity...it also lends itself nicely to the fact that the we are able to gather cruits' from other worlds as well during our travels...also lending to the fluff and fact that each Company is a bit different in it's make up and heraldry...

@ Hairy
The "Rock" is pretty much locked in orbit around the Star of the Calibran system.

The Black Templars and the Imperial Fists do have mobile fortress monastries, which are also capable of warp travel (although this isn't very safe and more than one monastry has been lost this way)

The Imperial Fists already call terra their homeworld but have moved to fortress monastries partially because of the reasons above.
