Squad Theron was a Close Support Squad of the Ultramarines Eighth Company.[1c]


History

During the Indomitus Crusade, Chaplain Helios was instructed by Captain Numitor to command a unit of newly-arrived Primaris Ultramarines on a mission to the planet Quradim.[1c] He was to be accompanied on this mission by Veteran Sergeant Pomibius, however, unbeknownst to him at that time, Pomibius and most of his squad had been killed during a combat drop on Meto.[1a] Helios was instead accompanied by the last surviving member of Squad Pomibius, Theron (whom Helios elevated to the rank of Sergeant).[1a][1b] Shortly after meeting the Primaris contingent of the strike force aboard the Light of Iax, Theron was given formal command of the newly-minted Squad Theron.[1c]

Unusually, Squad Theron combined both Firstborn and Primaris Space Marines within the same unit; Theron himself was a Firstborn Assault Marine, whereas the reinforcements he received to form the squad were both Primaris Inceptors.[1c]
