Honour of Ultramar
The Honour of Ultramar is an Ultramarines Strike Cruiser.[1]
Constructed in the shipyards of Calth Honour of Ultramar for hundred years had responded for many crises across the galaxy, deploying Ultramarines to some of the Imperium's most far battlefields and cover them with fire support from the orbit.[3a]
But it is only during the Second War for Armageddon this vessel first made a name for itself. As a part of the multi-Chapter fleet of Space Marines Honour of Ultramar traded fire with Ork vessels and deployed the Ultramarine onto the surface of the planet in swift Thunderhawks, in the same time bombarding the Ork's battlelines. The Space Marines reinforcement broke the stalemate on the planet and helped the Imperium forces to defeat Orks. After the victory heavy damaged Honour of Ultramar but was repaired and soon returned to duty. The ship earned great honour and respect for its faithful service and brave deeds above the Armageddon[3a]
After the Great Rift appearance the Honour of Ultramar served as a part of Indomitus Crusade and fought in the defence of Ultramar. The Ultramarines 2nd Company suffered serious casualties during these conflicts, but fortunately was reinforced with Primaris Space Marines contingent. With war unleashed on a hundred of worlds, the Honour of Ultramar has been tasked tasked with fighting of these troops on a myriad of battlefields, many times was damaged almost beyond repair, but each time returning again with even more fury and hate to deal with the enemies of mankind.[3b]
Though at present, Lieutenant Lucian Calsius of the Ultramarines 2nd Company is the highest ranking Ultramarine aboard the Honour of Ultramar, often he delegates command to an officer of the 4th Company, Romeo Sevaris.[3b]
As of present a Lieutenant Calsius has carried his strike force[1] to battle the Death Guard[2], who have invaded the Imperium world Korvon II. However, when the Strike Cruiser neared the world[1], it was attacked by a Death Guard warship and has now been boarded by the Traitor Legion. Among them is a group led by the Plague Marine Champion Repugnus, who seeks to claim an Ultramarines relic that is stored aboard the Strike Cruiser and the only thing stopping him from achieving his goal, is the Intercessor squadron[2] led by Sergeant Decius.[1]
