The Ultramarines were the 13th, of the original twenty, Space Marine Legions.

This loyalist Legion was later re-organized and divided into Chapters according to the Codex Astartes. Their Primarchwas Roboute Guilliman, whose leadership (not to mention the Codex Astartes) were instrumental in humanity's survival following the Horus Heresy. Because their Primarch wrote the text that defines a Space Marine Chapter, the Ultramarines follow this Codex strictly; their only deviation being the recent formation of the Tyrannic War Veterans, comprised entirely of veterans of battles with the Tyranids. The Ultramarines are possibly the most important Imperial organization on the Eastern Fringe. Chapter Symbol

Codex Chapter Courage and Honor!

The Ultramarines are unique in that, unlike their fellow chapters, they control nine star systems, rather than a single planet. Collectively, these systems are known as Ultramar, with Macragge as its capital. Macragge is a cold and rocky world, though certainly capable of sustaining life, and is home to the Fortress of Hera, the Ultramarines' main base. Ultramar2c Macragge is just one of the eleven worlds in the Ultramar sector. The others are:

Timeline
698.M41 - Corinthian Crusade -The Ultramarines led the Corinthian system to freedom from the Ork Warlord Skargor the Despoiler. With five other chapters of Asartes and over fifty Imperial Guard regiments it was Chapter Master Marneus Calgar who within three months pushed the Warlord back to the capital world and the fortress there. Imperial Guard gun batteries broke a breach in the wall 26 which the Ultramarines stormed. Brother Amadon of the Ultramarines fell in that assault . It was Ancient Galatan that heroically slew the Ork warlord. Galatan finally succumbed to his extensive wounds but did not allow the banner to fall, spurring the troops on to finally liberate the system. A statue of Galatan stands in the Fortess of Hera on Macragge in honour of his courage, skill and his unfaltering 20, 29 duty.

M41 - Second War for Armageddon - The Ultramarines sent several companies of troops to fight and reinforce the defenders of Armageddon against five tribes of orks united under Ghazghkull Mag Uruk 41 Thraka. 742.M41 - Operation Pluto - The Damocles Gulf Crusade was launched, Ultramarine forces pledged forces who fought under the theatre command of the Black Templars and Imperial General Wendell Gauge. It was during Operation Pluto on the Tau Planet of Dal'yth that the Ultramarines led Iron Hands and Scythes of the Emperor into battle within the forests of Gel'bryn. The strike force was intended as a third, mobile force that could breakthrough the enemy lines or outflank the tau and break the other two battlefronts. Instead the Astartes were met by the tau elite, Crisis Battlesuits. The marines held the forest against insurmountable odds, with new, fresh tau reserves being deployed against the finite number of the crusade force. Whilst Operation Pluto itself was no great success, it allowed Gauge to 32,33,34 initiate Operation Hydra which led into the final stages of the campaign. 745.M41 - The Battle for Macragge - The concluding battle of the First Tyrannic War that stopped Hive Fleet Behemoth on the Ultramarines' Homeworld of Macragge. 855.M41 - Assault on Black Reach - the Ultramarines 2nd Company under the command of 2 Captain Cato Sicarius and Scout Sergeant Torias Telion defeated the brutal Ork Waaagh! Zanzag. 974.M41 - The Damnos Incident - On the resource rich planet of Damnos, Captain Cato Sicarius and Chief Librarian Varro Tigurius led an Ultramarine assault onto the planet against the recently risen menace known as the Necrons. Sicarius split the 2nd Company into three separate squads; he led one against the heart of the Necron force at Kellenport's Outer Walls. Upon landing Sicarius's team was surrounded by phalanxes to guard the Necron Lord. During the battle Sicarius fell, gravely wounded by the Lord's War Scythe but was rescued and was evacuated back to his Battle Cruiser to heal. Damnos was lost to the Necrons but due to the unstable reactor of the planet and thanks 2 27 to a few Thunderhawk Gunships the reactor blew and took the Necrons and planet to their deaths. 990.M41 - The Battle of Ichar IV - At the beginning of the Second Tyrannic War, Ichar IV was infested with Genestealers. A genestealer cult, operating under the name, "the Brotherhood," instigated a rebellion on the planet that caught the attention of Inquisitor Agmar. The Inquisitor petitioned the Space Marine chapter, the Ultramarines, to help put down the rebellion. Marneus Calgar, chapter master of the Ultramarines, arrived 39 days later aboard the space marine battle barge, Octavius. Eventually, with the combined support of the Ultramarines, PDF forces and theImperial Guard, the inquisition 12 p23 successfully destroyed the invasion and cleansed the planet of all Genestealers. 999.M41 - Thirteenth Black Crusade - the Ultramarines fielded an Honour Company. 999.M41 - The Battle For Tarsis Ultra - the Ultramarines 4th Company were dispatched to the world of Tarsis Ultra to defend it against on of the two tendrils of Hive Fleet Leviathan. With help from the Mortifactors Chapter and several regiments of the Imperial Guard, the invasion was successfully repelled, 10 though at great cost.

999.M41 - The Defence of Ultramar - Iron Warriors Warsmith Honsou assembles an enormous warband and invades the region of Ultramar, in league with the Daemon Prince M'kar. The entire 22 Chapter must mobilize for war, to prevent Ultramar from being laid to waste.

Undated
Liberation of Graia - Captain Titus was instrumental in the liberation of the Forge World Graia. Leading an under-strength command squad, Titus single handedly slew the Ork WarbossGrimskull, whose 17 forces were resolutely holding most of Graia. Titus also discovered a plot by the agents of chaos . The Fall of Medusa V - Cato Sicarius was contacted by the Inquisition to defend the planet of Medusa V. A number of other chapters rallied to Sicarius' banner, and even the Lord Marshal Graf Harazahn of the Vostroyan Firstborn declared and led an Imperial Guard crusade against the multiple foes that assaulted the planet. However, in the end, Medusa V was lost.

Gene-seed
The gene-seed of the Ultramarines is highly regarded as one of the most stable, with only a ten percent chance of mutation.

Culture Organisation
The Ultramarines follow the Codex Astartes in all matters of organization. Roughly two thirds of all Space Marines can trace their origins to the Ultramarines, and many still revere Roboute Guilliman as 5 their creator. As well as a Boltgun, many Ultramarines carry a sword known as a Gladius. The Ultramarines Honour Guard wield formidable close combat weapons known as the Axes of Ultramar.

Chapter Disposition
As the paragon Codex Chapter, the Ultramarines are divided into ten Companies of 100 Marines, as prescribed by the Codex Astartes. Each Company Captain is a hero of the Ultramarines, many of whom are also Masters of the Chapter, in charge of a particular aspect of the Chapter's logistics.
