==Overview==
[[Image:UltraBanner1.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Company Standard|Banner]] of the Ultramarines 1st Company{{Fn|8}}]]Containing the most skilled [[Space Marine Veteran|Veteran]] warriors of the Chapter, the 1st Company is trained in the arts of fighting in modern or ancient patterns of [[Space Marine Power Armour|Power Armour]], and are experts in all manner of weaponry. The majority of their warriors don [[Tactical Dreadnought Armour]], becoming [[Terminator Squad]]s, while others form [[Vanguard Veteran]], [[Bladeguard Veteran]], or [[Sternguard Veteran Squad]]s. After the introduction of [[Primaris Space Marines]], [[Space Marine Veteran|Veterans]] also began to deploy as typical squads, such as Veteran [[Infiltrator]]s or [[Intercessors]], using their superior knowledge from decades in those roles to their advantage.{{Fn|1}}
The Ultramarines 1st Company members have access to the [[Chapter]]'s full [[Armoury]], allowing them to deploy using their favoured wargear. The 1st Company benefits from a wealth of vehicles, from the Chapter's fleet of [[Land Raider]]s and [[Repulsor]]s, to squadrons of [[Stormraven Gunship]]s and several [[Dreadnought]]s.{{Fn|1}}
The 1st Company is famous for its [[Strike Force Ultra]] formation. This formation mobilises as many battle-brothers in suits of [[Terminator Armour]] as possible, supported with heavy firepower, for the destruction of massive enemy targets such as [[Titans]].{{Fn|1}}
