The principal characters are 2nd Visitor Commander and playable character Captain Titus (voiced by Marking Strong), his firsthand subordinate Veteran Sergeant Sidonus, and a relatively inexperienced and by-the-book Tactical Marine named Leandros. Other notable characters include Majestic Guard commander Second Lieutenant Miranda 'Mira' Nero and Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Drogan.

Plot [edit]

After the invasion of Forge World Graia past Orks, Imperial military commanders consider diverse methods to regain control of Graia, peculiarly since the loss of Graia'south industrial output has greatly affected local Imperial war-making capabilities. In the stop, information technology is decided to deploy a group of Space Marines of the Ultramarines chapter to reinforce local Purple forces.

Initially upon arrival, the squad provides assistance to the outnumbered and overrun Imperial Guard regiments fighting on the planet'southward surface, which later on the loss in battle of all higher-ranking officers are at present being led past the sole surviving junior officer, Second Lieutenant Miranda 'Mira' Nero; she informs Titus of the present situation and briefly accompanies the squad to their next date. Titus agrees to silence the captured planetary defense force cannon, which has been preventing supply ships from reaching the beleaguered defenders. This done, Mira thanks the Infinite Marines and continues to help Titus however she can over the class of the game, amongst re-organizing the remaining Imperial Guard forces and attempting to hold the majority of the invading hordes at bay until the delayed reinforcement fleet arrives. The Space Marines then movement on to go along with their own mission and, amidst securing the Titan Invictus (one of a form of giant, bipedal war machines that are produced primarily on Graia and the principal reason for the Ultramarines' deployment at that place), answer a distress call from the injured Regal Inquisitor Drogan, from whom they acquire of a weapon that can wipe out the Orks, but which needs a power source that is located in a reactor beneath the Manufactorum. Titus retrieves it and activates the Psychic Scourge, merely the Orks are not killed. Instead, a Warp gate to the psychic realm of Chaos is opened, unleashing several daemons that massacre the surrounding Orks. Moments later, the Chaos Lord Nemeroth emerges from the portal. Using his Warp powers, he subdues the Space Marine squad as Inquisitor Drogan arrives via lift and approaches Nemeroth, revealing his allegiance to the Chaos Lord. Information technology is then revealed that Drogan was killed at some indicate prior to meeting Titus and his corpse was possessed and used past Nemeroth as a sleeper agent. Titus gathers enough force to grab the Ability Source, which had been ejected from the Scourge, and Nemeroth is ambushed by Grimskull, the Ork Warboss in charge of their invasion of Graia, assuasive the Space Marines to escape.

The Scourge opens a growing Warp portal around the Orbital Spire, assuasive Chaos forces to pour in; seeing this, Titus forms a plan to destroy the portal and the Spire by using one of the Titans they had secured earlier (their original mission). The Titan Invictus is supercharged by the Power Source and destroys the Spire. Nevertheless, Sidonus is killed by Nemeroth, the Power Source is stolen and taken to the floating remains of the Spire.

The reinforcement armada now having finally arrived, including a company of Claret Ravens Space Marines, the balance of Titus's company and large numbers of Purple Guard, Titus leads them in an attack through the remaining Chaos forces to stop Nemeroth from performing a ritual to ascend to the status of a Daemon Prince using the ability of the device. Nemeroth has partially ascended to Daemonhood when Titus finally faces him again; both are knocked off the spire in the struggle, and the Helm defeats him in single combat while falling towards the basis. He then breaks the experimental device in half with his hands. Titus survives the exposure to the raw Warp energy again, and is rescued past a Thunderhawk dropship before he can bear on the footing.

The end scene of the game involves a new Majestic Inquisitor past the proper noun of Thrax, accompanied by Leandros and escorted by several Blackness Templar Space Marines, who places Titus under arrest. Leandros believes that his Captain has been corrupted past Chaos based on Titus' resistance to warp energies. Titus denies accusations of heresy and is backed upward in this by Lieutenant Mira who also protests the allegation, but Titus warns her to dorsum down, knowing the extent of the Inquisition'south wrath. Titus is willing to find the cause of his own mysterious resistance to Anarchy, and voluntarily goes with Inquisitor Thrax on the condition that the Inquisition leaves the planet, its inhabitants (including Mira) and his boyfriend Ultramarines alone. Before taking off from the planet, Titus chastises Leandros for his singleminded following of the Codex Astartes, and his disability to see past it and call up for himself - something Titus believes is the true test of a Space Marine.

A computerised report in Regal records shows that the threat on Graia has been contained. The planet is nether quarantine by order of Inquisitor Thrax, and Titus is under investigation by the Inquisition on charges of heresy.
