==History==
[[Image:UMDestroyer.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Nemesis Destroyer during the Great Crusade]]During the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]], the 22nd [[Chapter]] of the [[Ultramarines]] [[Legion]] was known as the '''Nemesis Chapter''', specialising in [[Exterminatus]] operations.{{Fn|4c}} The 22nd was a patchwork of specialised units, most notably maintaining two full companies of the [[Destroyer Marine|Destroyer]] squads rarely found in the other Chapters,{{fn|5b}} and had a large [[Terra|Terran]] contingent - resulting in a culture which [[Roboute Guilliman|Guilliman]] considered to too far removed from the rest of the Legion.{{fn|5b}}
The Chapter earned their name during the purgation of abhuman corsairs in the [[Cancerai Nebula]] alongside the [[Night Lords|VIII Legion]]. As well as the name "Nemesis", they took to wearing black gauntlets, midnight blue helms and adopted the weighing scales and death's head icon of judgement.{{fn|4b4c}}
Guilliman viewed the Destroyers as an unpleasant necessity, keeping them off the front lines where possible and expressing an intent to restructure the dedicated Destroyer companies of the Nemesis.{{fn|5a}} During the campaign against the [[orks]] of the [[Thoas]] Empire, he kept the Destroyer companies in the void, hunting the orks on the barren moon of Agrigentum V. In the wake of [[Praetor (Rank)|Chapter Master]] [[Machon Phalaris|Phalaris]]' death, Guilliman appointed [[Eleon Iasus]], [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] of the 166th Company, as his replacement as part of an effort to integrate Nemesis into the wider culture of the Legion.{{fn|5b}} The Destroyer companies were eventually deployed from reserve in the final stages of the [[Battle of Thoas]].{{fn|5c}}
The Nemesis was only partially mustered at [[Calth]] as some of its companies were engaged alongside elements of the 7th Chapter reducing the [[Fra'al]] crucible worlds along the galactic rim.{{fn|4b}} Those companies able to make the journey to Calth were mustered in the highlands of Thracius in order to distance them from population centres.{{fn|4c}}
