The '''Orders Civilis''' were part of the [[Dark Angels]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]]'s [[Hekatonystika]], that were dedicated to non-battlefield tasks requiring specialist knowledge and were vital to the success of the Legion.{{Fn|1}}
These Orders rarely counted any [[Dark Angels]] among their ranks, and were instead a means of honoring honouring those [[Chapter Serf|Legion Serf]]s and failed [[Aspirant]]s who dedicated themselves to the support of their masters. Among the Orders Civilis were armourers, quartermasters, cargo pilots and maintenance crew, the unseen backbone of the Dark Angels' operations. Yet, as these lesser Orders were given no representation among the [[Orders Militant of the First Legion|Conclave of Preceptor]]s, there are few records of their structure and history available to outsiders.{{Fn|1}}
