The 7th Company of the Ultramarines, known as the Defenders of Caeserean, are an honorable Company which hones tactical flexibility.[1]
Overview
Typically Battle Brothers promoted to the 7th Company are for the first time moving away from single-gear missions and instead begin to emphasize the tactical flexibility of Tactical Squads and Intercessor Squads. The 7th normally deploy their strength in several large formations. They reinforce the Battle Companies en masse and begin most campaigns fighting in their own dedicated forces alongside their more experienced comrades. The 7th's Strike Forces are given the task of seizing and defending strategic assets, garrisoning fortifications, and swift reinforcements of any exposed gaps or flanks. In this way does the 7th earn its place amongst the squads they will one day reinforce. It is during their time in the 7th Company that Ultramarines train in operating various types of skimmers and aircraft such as the Stormhawk. Thus when the 7th goes to war, they are often accompanied by fast-moving formations and airborne assaults.[1]
The banner of the 7th was originally a standard laurel, but since M38 when forces under Captain Gerostus fought alongside the Iron Hands of Karrdas have since borne an iron chain to symbolize their bonds.[1] The 7th Company earned its moniker after they dealt a crushing defeat to Korus the Defiler.[5]
