Shields of Terra Chapter
Specialty-Defensive Fighting, Holding Actions, Siege Defense, Civilian Protection
Homeworld-Holy Terra
Donor Chapter-Grey Knights, Ultramarines
Chapter master-Amadeus

The Shields of Terra are a very recent adition to the Chapters of the Adeptus Astartes in the Imperium, and are tasked solely with defending Holy Terra from assault by any of the Imperium's many enemies, and their armor gleems a polished bronze in homage to the Emperor himself. While the Adeptus Custodes live to guard the Emperor himself and the Ecclesiarchy govern and protect Terra from internal threats, the Shields of Terra are permanently stationed on the capital world to defend its numerous civilian population from the depredations of any force that will invade terra in the future. Their Chapter world is Holy Terra itself, and their headquarters is an undisclosed section of The Imperial Palace.

The Shields of Terra are ostensibly all experts of defensive fighting and holding actions, and the entire chapter is more than willing to sacrific itself in the defense of holy Terra. They are renowned for a fearless zealotry that is unusual even for Astartes, but they are, perhaps justifiably, equally known for extreme pride in their chapter and position among the Astartes. They are also incredibly rigid and paranoid, but this comes directly from being under the Ecclesiarchy's watchful eyes constantly.
Almost all of the chapter is composed of Psychers, and neophytes must complete many of the trials that Grey Knights undergo. This is not only for the purposes of purification so that they may operate on the capital, but also because the Inquisition sanctioned the Grey Knights as the "donor chapter" for the creation of the chapter along with the Ultramarines. As such, they are completely free of mutations and suicidally loyal to the Imperium.

Dispite being a Codex Chapter, The Shields of Terra are a strangely flexible fighting force given their role as a purely defensive shield for Terra, and have been known to be highly adaptable and coordinated in the few combat training actions they have engaged in.
