Investigating an urgent request for assistance from the remote shrine-world of Mithron, Captain Severus (Terence Stamp) of the 2nd Company Ultramarines leads a single squad of newly-promoted battle brothers to find out what has caused the distress beacon to be activated: Mithron is defended by a full company of Imperial Fists, a fellow chapter of Space Marines who, for countless generations, have stood guard over the planet and its Imperial Shrine. What dreadful fate could have overcome them that they ask for help?
On Mithron, Ultima Squad discovers that a terrible battle has taken place, and some great evil has been unleashed. As unseen dangers close in around them, the recruits have to mount a tense and deadly insertion to find any surviving Imperial Fists and reason behind the emergency signal…
