Orders Civilis

Space Marines Portal Dark Angels

The Orders Civilis were part of the Dark Angels Legion's Hekatonystika, that were dedicated to non-battlefield tasks requiring specialist knowledge and were vital to the success of the Legion.^[1]

These Orders rarely counted any Dark Angels among their ranks, and were instead a means of honoring those Legion Serfs and failed Aspirants who dedicated themselves to the support of their masters. Among the Orders Civilis were armourers, quartermasters, cargo pilots and maintenance crew, the unseen backbone of the Dark Angels' operations. Yet, as these lesser Orders were given no representation among the Conclave of Preceptors, there are few records of their structure and history available to outsiders.^[1]
