While [[Image:UJArt.jpg|thumb|right|190px|Ursula Creed{{Fn|4f}}]]Ursula was born as a result of a brief affair between Ursarkar E. Creed and a chamberlain to the [[Governor]] of [[Theta Sykan]].

Ursula grew up thinking Ursarkar did not know she existed, but this was not the case. In truth, Ursula's rise mother had convinced Ursarkar to senior command keep a distance lest she be dragged into his campaigning with him.

Ursula then asked if Guilliman would give her career command of the remaining Cadian Regiments, so she could use them to claim the [[System]]s that would lead to New Cadia's formation. The Lord Commander, however, did not give her a definitive answer and instead stated that he would to need think on the matter.
