Welcome, my battle-brothers. Chaplain O'Grady of the Ultramarines contacts you with the Emperor's gift at his side, to be given to the most pious and zelous of all his children. But for now, let us stand collected, just for a moment, so that I may enact the sacred rites as decreed by Him on the Golden Throne.

"At battle's end, speak the Liturgy in a clear voice. Respect the bravery of the living. Give the Rite of Passage to the fallen. Honour the battle gear of the dead. To do all this with reverence, even when exhausted by battle and weary from the field, is the duty of a Chaplain. It is his burden and satisfaction."

While I speak the rites, my brothers, I ask of you not much, only that you call for our extraction so that we might smite the scourge of this galaxy on another planet. Contact our flagship, the Fortress of Fear, by its sacred call sign. You do remember the sacred call sign, right? Chant with me:

By the Chaplains moniker

And the battle-brothers in the repository of wisdom

By the number of beaks on the Aquila

We shall fight the Chaos Gods

Screaming our Chapter's name in fury

Now remember that the callsign has two capital letters to denote the craft's class, two digits that identify it among its brethren, and the last capital letter to connect it to the chapter.

Off, my brothers, and make haste! We shall leave this barren wasteland by tomorrow, at 2pm terran time, or our crusade must come to a grinding halt!

FOR THE EMPEROR!

Hello my captain, I've heard on an old but mighty fortress from the past,
a fortress by the name of: "B-17F/G Flying Fortress" which has: "two capital letters to denote the craft's class (B,F), two digits that identify it among its brethren (1,7), and the last capital letter to connect it to the chapter (G)".
They that be the fortress you were looking for?

Guys, it's long over. For the curious, the solution was O (for O'Grady I suppose) L (for Librarium, referred to in the riddle as the repository of the chapter's wisdom) 2 (2 beaks on the Aquila, the coat of arms of the Imperium) 4 (four primary Chaos Gods) U (for Ultramarines, the chapter they belong to).

It's either O'Grady or Ortan Cassius, both work ;) I thought I'd throw people a bone here by testing reading comprehension. The L would technically be for Librarian (the battle-brothers in the repository of wisdom), but again, it's all good.

44 entries by the way, not too shabby.

I'm ashamed to admit that I ended up brute forcing the L because unlike the other bits, it wasn't easy to figure out using keyword searches on the 40k wikis I found. Love the universe, but never actually got into the games enough to know these things. Thanks though, this was one of the more interesting puzzles. =)

Oh, the one I had wrong, and never thought of changing because I was sure of that one, was the first... I thought it was R for "Reclusiarch"...
