Basic Info
Though the history of the Sons of Orar has been lost, what is known is that they revere Orar, an Ultramarines Captain who won great renown in the wake of the Horus Heresy, and claim him as their spiritual patriarch.[1b] [1c]
The red omega chapter symbol is closely related to the Ultramarines symbol. They appear to possess a large amount of Corvus-pattern power armor suits in their armory.[Needs Citation]
Notable Battles
- The Jorun Retaliation (143.M41): En route to the Gothic War an Imperial Battlegroup, the 15th Heraklion Ironclads, turned on their Commissariat attachment and went renegade. Investigations into this turn of events uncovered the foul xenos taint of Dark Eldar, who had managed to ensnare and corrupt General Jorun and his command structure. Jorun and his fleet raided planet after planet, enslaving whole populations for their masters. The full Howling Griffons chapter was given command of the strike force, with support from the Ultramarines and Sons of Orar chapters. [2]
- In late M41, the Sons of Orar acted as one of the spearheads for the Imperial Siege of Alaitoc.[3]
- 13th Black Crusade.[7]
