The '''Ultramarines Honour Company''' is was a specialized [[Space Marine Company|Company]] of [[Ultramarines]] that have been stationed at the [[Cadian Gate]] for many millennia, rotating officers and warriors from Ultramarines Companies elsewhere and also drawing from the Ultramarines [[Successor Chapter]]s.{{Fn|1}}

The current last commander of the Honour Company is was [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Echion]], a member of the [[Patriarchs of Ulixis]] [[Chapter]]. The Company is was made up mostly of Ultramarines, but it is was not unusual for Marines from Successor chapters to volunteer for the Honour Company's service. As the Ultramarines' resources have dwindled following the [[First Tyrannic War]], Marines that are descended from the Ultramarines are becoming became more common.{{Fn|1}}

The Honour Company has been was active in the [[13th Black Crusade]], distinguishing itself early in the war. Their first action was a space-borne counterattack against [[Ezekyle Abaddon|Abaddon's]] fleet as the ''[[Planet Killer]]'' closed on the [[Agri-World]] of [[Lortox]]. The action bought the world's [[PDF]] time to evacuate a significant portion of the worlds population before the planet was blasted to pieces by the accursed [[Chaos]] starship. In the aftermath of the Lortox evacuations, the Honour Company was redeployed to [[Cadia]] and the surrounding [[system]]s, launching a series of operations to hinder Abaddon's forces as they invaded the [[Fortress World]]. These attacks have included boarding actions against Chaos [[Space Hulk]]s being used to transport hordes of [[The Lost and the Damned]]. In total, the Honour Company has had disabled or destroyed 3 such Hulks, stranding an estimated 600,000 [[Cultist]]s, [[Mutant]]s, and [[Traitor Guard]] in the depths of space. A fourth hulk, codenamed ''[[Herald of Grief]]'', was destroyed in a boarding action which saw an estimated 200,000 Chaos renegades killed.{{Fn|1}}

As the Cadian Gate was destroyed during the [[13th Black Crusade]] upon the creation of the [[Great Rift]], the honour company stationed there may have been either destroyed or made defunct as a result. However, this has not been confirmed by any sources, and their fate remains unknown.
