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. 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 company has since been absorbed into Retribution Fleet Carthago which now finds itself caught between the intermittent calls of the Warmaster-Apparent Dorn to return to Terra at all costs and their Primarch Guilliman's orders to regroup at Macragge all the while finding itself caught in the growing struggle for the Cambrius Sub-Sector.

Vengeance for the Five Hundred Worlds! - Common post-Calth battle cry.

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 a Jump Pack to charge into battle alongside the Company's assault squads.

- Sadatio Novom: Sadatio is rough, hot headed and very noticeably displays habbits 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 his brothers eventually led to being relegated to a Moritat and commanded to don a red helmet in censure. Despite appearances, Sadatio is still apparently loyal to the Emperor and even though he has his brother's distrust has not shown any real acts of treacherous defiance, even accepting his punishment with humility and self awareness. That said, he is still arguably the weak point when it comes to who's loyalty can be relied upon within the company. His World Eaters ties, brotherly conflicts and outsider status are all reasons to keep a close eye on his actions.
