The Ordo Xenos are a group set up by the Emperor shortly before the Great Crusade, to investigate alien races, and destroy any that are deemed to be a threat. Later the Ordo Xenos' jurisdiction extended to cover Navigators.
The Deathwatch is their Ordo Militant. The Deathwatch are unique amongst the Space Marine Chapters in that their recruits are seconded to them from other Space Marine chapters. Whether this will change when the Ordo Xenos gains its own Codex is unknown.
The Ordo Xenos is also an arm of the Inquisition. Being the division that is responsible for investigating and engaging all non-human and non-daemon relations.
