The Vengeance Campaigns were a series of campaigns launched by the Ultramarines' Chapter Master Marneus Calgar, in the aftermath of the Plague Wars and the departure of Lord Commander Roboute Guilliman from the Realm of Ultramar.[1]

History

Left once again to defend Ultramar, Calgar led the Ultramarines and a coalition composed of their Successor Chapters and Knight Houses across neighbouring corrupted systems that had been infested by Daemons during the Plague Wars. Amid one such campaign to free seven worlds in the Tartella System from Daemonic enslavement, Calgar simultaneously masterminded a hit and run campaign to break a vast Ork force before it could reach the Forge World Metalica. Using rapid strike attacks, the Space Marines won hundreds of battles against the Orks, but only managed to slow the rampaging Greenskin hordes from reaching the Forge World; as they focused the majority of their efforts on freeing the Daemon-infested worlds. In the Tartella Campaign, while three of the targeted seven worlds had been saved, the bulk of the corrupted System still remained in the hands of its Daemon overlords.[1]
