The Praetors of Ultramar is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter comprised entirely of Primaris Space Marines, created from the lineage of the Ultramarines and raised during the Ultima Founding of 999.M41.
The Praetors of Ultramar is one of the ten Astartes Chapters permanently assigned by Lord Commander of the Imperium Guilliman with defending the Realm of Ultramar in the wake of the Plague Wars.
The Praetors were created after the end of the Indomitus Crusade in the early 42nd Millennium and their numbers were originally drawn from the remaining Unnumbered Sons of Ultramarines descent.
These were the nine Legion-sized forces which comprised half of the Primaris Space Marines created during the Ultima Founding who were not placed within the normal Adeptus Astartes Chapter structure. Their Chapter homeworld was named Howsbridge.
