Merely survival perhaps? Such many will claim, but this accounts for so little of all we have accomplished by way of wonders and terrors both. I contest that war is no more than a natural clearing of the earth; a purge which we instinctively know is needed so that greater things can be built, greater heights achieved, and greater dreams made real for generations to come. Man will kill without hesitation to survive, yes, but man will die in glory unrivalled for the future yet unborn.”  \nFrom the Book of Nine Cryptographs Unknown Author, M.7  \nAt the outset of the cataclysmic civil war created by the treachery of Horus and the machinations ofthe dark powers of the Warp, the XIIIth Legion, the Ultramarines, stood as one of the single, most powerful military forces in the Imperium. With an active fighting strength somewhere in the region of a quarter of a million Legiones Astartes, a sector-spanning domain under their overlordship and an arguably unparalleled structure for the supply and training of initiates—allowing it to withstand losses that would potentially cripple other Legions—it was this very strength that would make it a prime target for the Traitors’conspiracy. It would be at Calth that this blow would fall. But while the legend of the lapis-blue hosts of Ultramar and the strategic genius of its Primarch Roboute Guilliman were already widely promulgated by the Iterators and Remembrancers ofthe Great Crusade, the path by which it arrived at this apotheosis of power was not so well known and in some cases, the facts actively kept secret. The complexities of the Legion’s past and the sometimes divisive and even antagonistic relationship the Ultramarineshad with several of their fellow Legions was also concealed. It would be this hidden history that was to bear bitter fruit on Calth and cast its own shadow on the wars that were to follow.  \nOrigins: The War-BOrn Of Old nighT  \nThe XIIIth Legion’s origins lay, as with their fellows, on Terra and the closing years of the Unification Wars. Extant records from this time show the XIIIth Legion’s ‘Alpha’intake—the test bed raising of several thousand warriors by which its gene-seed’s stability and adaptability was judged—was passed firmly within acceptable parameters and with no singular or notable physical mutation beyond the expected pattern, with full functionality of implanted organs to projected specifications. Psycho-organically, initiates were noted to display increased aggression, as was expected, but also a marked tendency towards ","cbCaisEKCzIIJJuV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisEKCzIIJJuV","pdf",7384117,18,"English","# The UlTramarines\n## Domains and Strategic Tendencies\n## Origins: The War-Born Of Old Night","[{\"question\":\"What are the Ultramarines’ main strategic tendencies?\",\"answer\":\"The text highlights Mass Assault, Targeted Decimation, Planetary Interdiction, and Liberation with limited theatre compliance campaigns.\"},{\"question\":\"Where are the Ultramarines’ primary and secondary headquarters located?\",\"answer\":\"Primary command and armoury center on Macragge, with secondary establishments at Armatura, Konor, and Calth as a fleet base under reconstruction.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the records describe the XIIIth Legion’s origins and early recruitment?\",\"answer\":\"They trace the Legion to Terra’s Unification Wars, noting an “Alpha” intake process and varied recruitment from many violent resisting peoples, culminating in the informal “War-born” cognomen.\"}]","The UlTramarines - Heresy Black Book Extract - Origins of the XIIIth Legion | PDF",1791331953,28]
