Chapter Organisation
The Chapter adheres to the Codex Astartes in numbers and formation, however the chapter employs different combat doctrines within their own companies but at the very least all companies exceed at melee combat and rapid assault commonly using drop pods and Thunderhawks to attack enemy forces, if the enemy force proves troublesome they will deploy armour and attack the weakest point in the enemies defence.

Chapter Command
Equilan Rawn, Chapter Master

Adums Slak, Head Chaplain

Danil Jnight, Only Librarian in Chapter

Salen Gerx, Head of Apothecaries

The Chapter only has one Librarian because they believes that the acceptance of psychic beings was the reason behind the Heresy and the fall of the 8th company.
