The Ultramarii are one of the most valiant Chapters of the Emperor's Space Marines. Mighty and disciplined warriors whose battle cry is “Courage and Honor!” - thundered over the fields of the most grandiose battles in the history of mankind. Their unbending will and unshakable courage have been guarding the interests of the Empire of Man for many centuries... Therefore, Captain Uriel Ventris was not delighted when he and his unit were tasked with accompanying an Administratum official on an inspection trip to a remote planet near the eastern borders of the Empire, which had fallen behind on the payment schedule taxes. Public unrest and pirate raids by alien Eldar - that’s all the troubles from which Uriel assumed he would have to protect civilians. However, very soon the troubles acquired truly cosmic proportions worthy of the heroism of the Space Marines.
