The Fidelis is a famous Strike Cruiser in the Ultramarines Chapter.[1]
History
It was part of the Ultramarines' armada that was sent to aid the Ork invaded Vortengard Spiral. However, as the armada journeyed to aid the Imperium worlds in the Spiral, the Ultramarines received a message that the Agri World Styxia Prime was invaded by a tendril of Hive Fleet Gorgon. Though the Chapter was committed to aid the worlds of the Vortengard Spiral, Master of Sanctity Ortan Cassius was able to successfully petition Chapter Master Calgar to aid the Agri World. The Fidelis was then tasked with bringing Cassius' strike force to the Agri World[2a] and stayed in its orbit[2b] to provide orbital fire for the Imperium's forces[2c] fighting there[2d]. When the Tyranid invasion was defeated, the Fidelis transported what remained of Cassius' strike force to the Vortengard Spiral, to aid the Chapter fighting the Ork invasion.[2e]
