"Few in number we may be, brothers, but our Emperor and our primarch expect no less of us for that. We stand in defence of our homeworld! We protect the legacy and future of our Chapter! So shall we fight with the strength of our absent comrades, for duty bids us do no less. Each White Templar shall be worth ten Adeptus Astartes this day!"

Chapter Master Kruxor Stavro of the White Templars, excerpt from Holdfast rallying speech, during Tyranid invasion of their homeworld of Sanctum.

The White Templars' Chapter homeworld is the planet named Sanctum, located in the Formidyre System of the Segmentum Solar or the Segmentum Pacificus, as sources conflict. The White Templars are stoic and relentless in their prosecution of the foe.

Though for a time it was thought that they were Imperial Fists successors, recent discoveries by genetoria-logi employed by the Administratum have thrown substantial doubt upon this claim. The White Templars have been shaken by this revelation, and have launched a star-spanning Imperial Crusade to discover the truth.

During the Fourth Tyrannic War in the Era Indomitus, the White Templars' homeworld came under assault by the Tyranids of Hive Fleet Leviathan. The Formidyre System soon became a major front in the Imperial defence of the Segmentum Pacificus, and drew large contributions of forces from the Astra Militarum, the Navis Imperialis, the Imperial Fists and other Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes.
