Overview
Though the history of the Sons of Orar has been lost, what is known is that they revere Orar, an Ultramarines Captain who won great renown in the wake of the Horus Heresy, and claim him as their spiritual patriarch.[1b] [1c] They are currently one of the 10 Shield Chapters of Ultramar.[10]
The red omega chapter symbol is closely related to the Ultramarines symbol. They appear to possess a large amount of Corvus-pattern power armor suits in their armory.[Needs Citation]
Recruitment
The Sons of Orar recruit from juvenile veterans of tunnel fighting on the hive world of Armato.[3b]
Notable Battles

Jorun and his fleet raided planet after planet, enslaving whole populations for their masters.
