==Heralds of Ultramar== <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:1000px"> ''"Complacency is the rot of the mind; More dangerous than any blade, more corrupt than dark heresy."'' - Brother Ricteon, on the Minotaur Massacre <div class="mw-collapsible-content"> {{Infobox Spess Mahreen Chapter |Name = Heralds of Ultramar |Heraldry = [[Image:Heralds_of_Ultramar.jpg|center|140px]] |Battle Cry = Honour and Dignity! / 'For Macragge, we keep Vigil!' |Founding = [[Cursed Founding]], 21st founding |Successors of = Ultramarines |Chapter Master = Gallen Scorious |Homeworld = Moon of Farox VI, Damocles Gulf |Strength = ~500 |Allegiance = [[Imperium of Man]] |Colours = Ultramarine with Yellow trim }} The history surrounding the Heralds of Ultramar is one of immense tragedy brought about through great treachery. Their creation as part of the cursed 21st founding was brought about as a result of Ultramar experiencing centuries of peace and prosperity, causing the population to swell with potential new Space Marine recruits around every corner, more than the Ultramarines could hope to recruit. As not to waste such an opportunity, the Ultramarines, in secret, established a successor chapter that would become the Heralds of Ultramar, their first chapter master being an esteemed duelist by the name of Gallen Scorious. The Heralds, upon their creation, ventured out deep into the wilds of Ultima Segmentum, eventually settling on a small, ocean moon on the edge of the Damocles Gulf, fighting back the occasional Greenskin Hordes and Eldar Pirates that found themselves on the edge of the Realm of Ultramar for millennia, remaining unknown to all but the Ultramarines so as to preserve their secrecy. Indeed, they would often identify as Ultramarines whenever they were encountered by Imperial observers. Disaster struck when they encountered Astartes from the Minotaur chapter, accompanied by an Inquistor sent to survey the Gulf region for heretical activity. Encountering the Heralds, they immediately assumed them to be renegade marines and proceeded to utterly massacre the chapter, who had let their guard down and were utterly decimated, their numbers dwindling down to 500 marines of whom were away and did not participate in the battle. All petitions for aid from were Ultramar were rejected, as the Ultramarines sought to deny any relation so as not to draw the ire of the Inquisition for illegally creating a new chapter. Scorned by their progenitors and disgraced by the Inquisition, the Heralds retreated to their ocean moons and erected massive fortifications and manufactorums beneath the planets grey oceans, retiring beneath the waves to rebuild their forces. Cutting off all contact with the outside apart from sending a company at a time out to conduct strikes at the Imperium's enemies, particularly the Tau whose empire they border. The Chapter still considers themselves sons of Macragge and hold fast to the Codex's teachings, but their isolation has made them paranoid and have, as a result, forces them to be extremely self sufficient. Somewhat unique and slightly deviant from the Codex, the Vanguard Veterans of the Heralds wield force-tridents, becoming particularly skilled in disarming their foes. They're strongly allied with quite powerful Rogue Trader families that operate in the Damocles Gulf region. Individual Heralds have even been seen accompanying the crews of a couple Rogue trader ships. This makes them essentially accepted back into the Imperium at large, with the Rogue traders vouching on the Heralds behalf for tolerance of the Chapter Time will tell what will become of the Heralds, as they continue to rebuild and venture forth back into the galaxy. </div> </div>
