This article is about the Captain Orar, for the other uses see Orar (disambiguation)

Orar is a mythical figure in the histories of the Space Marines, an Ultramarines Captain who won great renown in the wake of the Horus Heresy, striving to secure the Eastern Fringe against alien threats.^1a

Orar fell in battle and was entombed on Commrath, where a monument to him stands ever since as a reminder of sacrifice and victory. He had been entombed with many relics from his campaigns, one such relic known as the Sceptre of Galaxian was sought after by the Eldar during the Battle for Orar's Sepulchre. Since then it has been moved to Macragge to be properly defended by the power of the Ultramarines.^1a

The Space Marines chapter the Sons of Orar claim him as their spiritual patriarch, though the details of their founding have been lost.^1b There is also a Hive World in the Gothic Sector named Orar.
