Editing Ultramarines Honour Company (section)

==Organisation==
In a similar manner to the [[Deathwatch]], the Honour Company is made up of elements of many chapters, though in this case; membership is exclusive to descendants of [[Roboute Guilliman]] who must contribute whole squads rather than individual space marines.

Strictly speaking, the Honour Company is not a [[Codex Astartes|Codex]] formation and therefore even though it is referred to as a "Company" it would only be a guess to assume that it conforms to the traditional 6 [[Tactical Squad|Tactical]] / 2 [[Assault Squad|Assault]] / 2 [[Devastator Squad|Devastator]] arrangement of most codex complaint battle companies. However this would make the most sense since each member of the company would be a primogenitor, they would instinctively know how to operate to maximum efficiency under this system.

Despite the fact that the squads themselves are on temporary rotation within the company, for logistical reasons it would have to have a permanently attached set of assets such as fleet vessels and somewhere to berth them; as well as a dedicated staff of [[Chapter Serf|serfs]], [[Servitor|servitors]] and possibly a [[Techmarine]] or techpriest.

It is unusual for an officer not of the Ultramarines Chapter to lead the company, though with that Chapter's resources stretched by [[Tyranid]] incursions on the Eastern Fringe such a situation is set to become more common. The current commander is [[Brother-Captain]] '''Echion''' of the '''Patriarchs of Ulixis''' chapter, which is one of the lesser known Ultramarine second founding chapters.
