==Overview==
===Prelude===
[[Image:UltramarianMap.jpg|thumb|right|450px|The Ultramarian Reclamation{{Fn|1a}}]]
Following the return of the [[Primarch]] [[Roboute Guilliman]] and the commencement of the [[Indomitus Crusade]], the new [[Lord Commander of the Imperium]] declared that Ultramar would be restored to its pre-[[Horus Heresy]] borders and once again encompass 500 worlds. Many of these worlds were already in Imperial hands, but would require negotiations with existing [[Governor]]s and other authorities to transfer to the control of Ultramar. Many more however had been lost contact with or occupied by both heretics and [[Xenos]] in the turbulent period following the formation of the [[Great Rift]] as well as the devastating [[Plague Wars]].{{Fn|1a}}
===The Vespator Front===
The [[Vespator]] Front is the eastern theatre commanded by Tetrarch [[Decimus Androdinus Felix]], though Titus also is leading forces. Its Consisting of the largest campaign theatre, its forces been assigned a sprawling enormity of interlinked [[Sub-Sector]]s to conquer, making it the most diffuse of the four campaign zones. A high proportion of the systems marked for reconquest contain high-value worlds whose manufacturing and agricultural output will be vital to Greater Ultramar.{{Fn|1b}}
Felix began his campaign with a massive flanking maneuver conducted on a galactic scale. Besides Tyranids, his forces also battle [[Necron]]s under [[Nekrsor Ammentar]] and [[Death Guard]] holdouts from the [[Plague Wars]].{{Fn|1j}} Meanwhile, Captain Titus personally led a taskforce to the world of [[Idarus]] in the [[Heliodras System]], seeking to save the precious [[Agri-World]] from [[Hive Fleet Leviathan]]. Directed by [[Commodore]] [[Gaius Silva]], Ultramar warships caught the orbiting Tyranid [[Bio-Ship]]s unawares in a flanking maneuver. The 2nd Company conducted boarding actions of the Bio-ships before planting explosives and evacuating via [[Thunderhawk]]. Meanwhile, waves of [[Drop Pod]]s rocketed to Idarus' surface followed by dropcraft carrying vehicles and [[Ultramar Auxilia]] under [[Aemelia Minervas]]. In the following three days of bloody fighting, Idarus was purged of the Xenos taint and Titus personally slew a [[Tyranid Prime]].{{Fn|1c}}
Before the fighting on Idarus had ended, Titus and his advisors tracked the Xenos fleet movements and found it had deliberately bypassed the nearby world of [[Novamagnor]]. Veterans of the [[Deathwatch]] knew what this often meant: that it was a [[Necron]] [[Tomb World]]. Knowing that Novamagnor likely represented a great danger to the region, Titus organized that the world be their next destination.{{Fn|1c}}
===The Andermung Front===
The [[Andermung]] Front is the southern theatre under the command of Captain [[Portan]] of the [[Genesis Chapter]]. Though technically the smallest projected reconquest zone, this front's [[Warp]]-routes are fickle and labyrinthine, while many of its planetary systems can only be reached via convoluted routes or during certain celestial alignments. Some of its [[Sub-Sector]]s are notorious [[Pirate]] havens, while others have been the lairs of well-established alien empires for centuries.{{Fn|1b}}
Over the course of the campaign, Portan advanced the most cautiously and always sought to fortify his conquests before moving onto the next. This is done out of necessity for the difficult travel of the area.{{Fn|1i}}
===The Konor Front===
The [[Konor]] Front is the northern theatre commanded by Ultramarines [[First Captain]] [[Severus Agemman]]. The projected reconquest zone contained the highest number of preexisting Imperial-held worlds, but also large concentrations of heretics and rebels.{{Fn|1b}}
During their campaign, the Konor Front came into conflict with [[Ork]] [[Freebooter]]s under [[Gorbog]]. However this did little to hinder Tetrarch Agemman, who was able to command and coordinate a large number of battles simultaneously in a way only Guilliman himself was thought capable of doing.{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|1g}}
