===The Horus Heresy===
When [[Horus]] finally declared his treachery against the Emperor, he had ordered the Ultramarines Legion to go to the Veridan System in the Segmentum Tempestus far to the galactic south, because The Warmaster claimed claiming that the system was under attack by a an Ork invasion force from the Ghaslakh Empire. Robute Guilliman ordered his troops to depart at once and set course for Ultramar, so he could meet up with more of his forces and get supplies. Ultramar was close enough for an assault against the Veridan System, so Roboute ordered his Legion to assemble at the [[Calth ]] System.  As Roboute and his fleets arrived at Calth, they instantly knew something was wrong, because none of their [[astropaths]] could get messsages through the warp and storms were messing with the navigation of the ships. So ; they were blocked from the rest of the Imperium. It was at this moment that the tratior forces of the [[Word Bearers]] legion attacked. Because of this they were , rendering the Ultramarines unable to participate in much of the battle for Terra.  Upon learning of the treachery, Roboute immediately set course for Terra, destroying Chaos reinforcements along the way, but arrived after the war had already been won. Because of this, the Ultramarines were one of the few Legions at full strength; thus, Roboute and his Ultramarines bore much of the burden of holding the Imperium together against aliens and Chaos forces. During this time, the Ultramarines recruited heavily from their homeworld and eventually counted for over half of the loyalist Marines. Around a decade after the Heresy began, the Imperium finally reached a point of stability.
