Salamanders

The Salamanders are one of the Loyalist First Founding Chapters of Space Marines. They originally served as the Imperium’s XVIIIth Space Marine Legion during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy and for some time before the return of their primarch were known as the “Dragon Warriors.” Their homeworld is the volcanic Death World of Nocturne. The Salamanders as a Chapter are unusually concerned with civilian casualties compared to most other Space Marines and believe that one of their most important duties is to protect the lives of the Emperor of Mankind’s innocent subjects whenever and wherever possible.
