Background
The Praetors of Orpheus Space Marine chapter is a Second Founding chapter of the Ultramarines chapter. Stationed on the world of Beta Entebes II within a subterranean base called the Labyrinthe of Orphia.2
The technological lore of the Praetors of Orpheus is second only to that of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Many believe that the two are tied by more than shared service in the Emperor's name. The Praetors of Orpheus are highly active in the systems neighbouring Pavonis.4
Deployed as part of Strike Force Naasirka for the Jotun Repression.2
Colours
These Space Marines wear predominantly white armour with distinctive sky-blue shoulderpad trims, backpack, chest eagle and gun-casing. Company is denoted both by a Roman numeral on the left kneepad and also the colour of the pad itself.1 The chapter badge is a blue shield with a yellow sunburst in the center, with the exception of the top left quarter which is white with a blue Ultramarine symbol.1
