The Primarch then launched a counterattack against the Chaos Space Marine and daemonic forces of Nurgle besieging the sub-sector. Instead, he reestablished the ancient ruling Tetrarch Council for Ultramar, and tasked its newly-appointed Tetrarchs, including his Primaris Space Marine Equerry Captain Decimus Felix and the Ultramarines First Captain Severus Agemman, with beginning to expand the territories of Ultramar to include all of the star systems that had once comprised the Five Hundred Worlds. These so-called Plague Wars lasted for solar decades, until following the official conclusion of the Indomitus Crusade at the Battle of Raukos, Roboute Guilliman, now the ruling Lord Commander of the Imperium, finally arrived with reinforcements to aid his beleaguered home.Īrriving on Maccrage, Guilliman announced that he had made a grave mistake when he had allowed the official borders of Ultramar to shrink so drastically in the days after the Horus Heresy. The worlds of Ultramar were attacked from within and without by Nurgle's forces, including an invasion led by the Daemon Primarch Mortarion and his Death Guard Traitor Legion.

When the Primarch left Macragge to pursue the Terran Crusade, he left Ultramarines Chapter Master Marneus Calgar behind on Macragge to serve as his regent and over the restoration of the full extent of his stellar empire.Īfter the Great Rift fractured the Imperium of Man in half following the 13th Black Crusade, Ultramar came under assault by the servants of Nurgle, the Plague God, who had decided to add the whole of Ultramar to his Garden in the Realm of Chaos. With his reclaimed authority as the Lord Macragge and Lord of Ultramar, Guilliman declared the restoration of what had been known during the time of the Great Crusade as the Five Hundred Worlds of Ultramar. Map of the Sub-sector Ultramar, also called the Realm of Ultramar, in the Era Indomitus. In the wake of the resurrection of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman during the Ultramar Campaign in 999.M41, one of his first acts was to declare the autonomy of many worlds that had once been a part of Ultramar but had broken away after the Horus Heresy to be null and void. This area around Macragge is called Ultramar, the stellar empire of the Ultramarines. To this day, the Ultramarines recruit not from a single world, but from the whole sub-sector of their local space. At that time, Ultramar was a vast stellar pocket empire comprising over five hundred worlds.Īlthough the need to recruit from these worlds diminished almost to the vanishing point with the reorganisation of the Imperium after the Horus Heresy when Ultramar was reduced to its present, far smaller size, the tradition continued. They also supplied raw materials, armaments and spacecraft. During the Great Crusade the worlds around the XIII Legion's homeworld of Macragge provided young recruits for the Ultramarines. One aspect of the Ultramarines Legion that survived the Second Founding was the close relationship between those Astartes and the populations of the surrounding planets. The Realm of Ultramar, also known formally as Sub-sector Ultramar, is the feudal interstellar empire within the Imperium of Man's Segmentum Ultima that is governed by the Ultramarines Chapter of Space Marines and ruled directly by the Ultramarines' Chapter Master who holds the Imperial noble titles of Lord Macragge and Lord Defender of Greater Ultramar.
