Ultramarines
The Ultramarines are the embodiment of the Codex Astartes. The Primarch of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman, was in fact the author of the document. Additionally, over half of all Chapters use the Ultramarine geneseed, making it the largest set of Chapters in the Imperium.
The Ultramarines are also the largest Chapter in terms of territory. While the Codex Astartes limits all Space Marine Chapters to have roughly the same number of warriors (around 1000), it does not limit the amount of territory they may control. While most Chapters are present only on their single home planet, the Ultramarines rule over no less than 8 systems. These systems, collectively called Ultramar, are among the most advanced and prosperous in the galaxy, and are often pointed to as examples of utopian society.
