*The '''[[1st Company (Salamanders)|1st Company]]''', known as the ''[[Firedrake]]s''. To join the ranks of the 1st one must not only be an experienced warrior but also a paragon of the Chapter's values. The 1st maintains a large amount of [[Terminator Squad]]s alongside [[Sternguard Veteran]]s and [[Venerable Dreadnought]]s. Like all Companies the 1st maintains ceremonial ties with a settlement upon Nocturne, but they are unique in that they have no barracks on the planet. Instead, they dwell in the fortress-monastery on [[Prometheus]]. Here, the Firedrakes are responsible for some elements of Chapter command, directing training cadres or coordinating security protocols, honing their leadership skills even as they train. When attached to larger strike forces, squads of 1st Company Veterans are valued as much for their leadership and tactical advice as for their sheer destructive power. In this way, the 1st acts as a preparation body for [[Veteran Sergeant]]s, officers, and ship captains. While Chapter Master [[Tu'Shan]] is the ceremonial lord of the 1st, in truth he oversees larger Chapter matters while his [[Space Marine Lieutenant|Lieutenants]] manage the Company. However the 1st does maintain the [[Honour Guard]] for the Chapter Master.
*The '''[[2nd Company (Salamanders)|2nd Company]]''', known as the ''Defenders of Nocturne''. The 2nd best exemplifies the Salamanders compassionate attitude towards the most vulnerable citizens of the Imperium. Yet despite the detraction this sometimes brings, the 2nd's attitude has a practical purpose. They will save factory workers, only to have them boost munitions production for the next warzone. The 2nd is also the most ready to ally itself with other Imperial forces such as the [[Imperial Guard]] or [[Knight]]s. Taking the leadership role in these deployments, the 2nd will transform bloated expeditions into coordinated alliances.
