History
Legion: XIII Ultramarines Name: 13th Company Nickname: The Emperor's Fortunate Specialism: Arrowhead Assaults Expedition Fleet: Retribution Fleet [Carthago] Preator: Felix Salvius Otho
Like many Chapters and Companies within the Legiones Astartes, the company affectionately dubbed the Imperatoris Fortuna can trace its origins back to Terra, though has naturally shifted its Recruitment and Replenishment Tithe-Sources to include Macragge, Armatura and seven other worlds in the Five Hundred realms. Even so, the company still hosts a notable percentage of Terran veterans, including its Praetor and the majority of the ranking brothers.
The company earned its current cognomen "Imperatoris Fortuna" (Emperor's Fortunate) early in the Great Crusade for inexplicable timing and apparent luck, not to mention being the 13th company of the 13th chapter, in the 13th legion. The Company would often arrive to aid beleaguered brothers at the last moment managing to avoid catastrophes, traps and other misfortunes through sheer happenstance. The Companies apparent penchant for inexplicable fortune is most apparent during the Calth massacre. Despite being summoned to Calth, the company ended up stranded at a combined mustering point between Terra and Calth due to erratic warp activity. This made it impossible for any aid to reach the besieged forces during the Massacre that followed. Naturally this has left the company at high strength Post-Calth, a fact many Humans and even some Astartes have called a stroke of luck. Yet to many in the company, the fact they could not be at Calth to fight alongside their brothers when they should have been, is a deep dishonor and a constant shadow looming over the company's morale. The very name of the company in light of these events blurs the line between apt recognition and cruel jest.
The "Fortunate" went on after the Calth massacre to hunt down and engage Word Bearer forces in several small conflicts before being absorbed into Retribution Fleet Carthago. While attached to the fleet, the company had been hunting even larger Word Bearers threats, however, with the Heresy now at full momentum and the fleet finding itself caught between the intermittent calls of the Warmaster-Apparent Dorn and Primarch Guilliman's conflicting orders to return to Terra and Macragge respectively, the fleet has stalled in the Cambrius Sub-Sector only to find itself caught in the growing struggle for the sector itself.
Vengeance for the Five Hundred Worlds! - Common post-Calth battle cry.
"This is not a question of fighting for our Lord Guilliman or fighting for Terra. We are fighting to save this whole Galaxy from the betrayal of the Warmaster and his lapdog brothers, and in defense of all that is most sacred to man. This is no war of domination or imperial aggrandizement or material gain; no war to shut any of the myriad Xenos race out of infesting our rightful place within our beloved galaxy. It is a war, viewed in its inherent quality to establish on impregnable rocks, the rights of the Imperial truth, and it is a war, to prove our unbreakable will and loyalty to the father of mankind. We must eradicate any and all traitors. We must prevail! For the Emperor!"

Noteworthy Individuals
- Felix Salvius Otho: Current Praetor of the Company, Felix is a Terran born veteran, expert swordsman and cunning orator. He favours powerful assault tactics, often making extensive use of his elite units and heavy armour to smash through and disperse enemy battle lines. The absence of the company during the Calth Massacre hangs over Felix heavily and has on more than one occasion lead to complete commitment to destroying Word Bearer forces whenever they appear, well beyond the necessary. A sword fighter at heart, Felix often leads from the front, almost always eschewing the additional protection of Tactical Dreadnought Armour in favour of the additional mobility provided by a Jump Pack to charge into battle alongside the Company's assault squads.
- Sadatio Novom: Sadatio is rough, hot headed and very noticeably displays habits picked up during a combined campaign between the 13th and the World Eaters. His tendencies have earned him ire among many of his brothers causing him to be a loner. His ruthless battle style and continued conflicts with certain brothers within the company eventually led to being relegated to his censure and relegation to Moritat. Despite appearances, Sadatio is still apparently loyal to his Emperor and Legion, despite lacking his brother's trust, he has yet to show any real acts of treacherous defiance, even accepting his punishment with humility and self awareness. His World Eaters ties, brotherly conflicts and outsider status have the Chaplains keeping a close eye on him, often deferring to Consul-Chaplain Livius in any resolutions regarding Sadatio's rebukes.
