ORDERSOFTHE EMPEROR’S INQUISITION  \nGUARDIANS OF PURITY AMIDST THE IMPERIUM OF MAN  \nFar underneath the bedrock of Antarctica on Holy Terra exists the citadel of an organization that acts asthe secret police of the Imperium of Man, hunting down any and all threats to the stability of the GodEmperor's realm. The most shadowy and mysterious of the Emperor’s organizations, it is responsible for defending against perils of heresy, possession, alien dominance and rebellion. It is they who stand between all mankind and the phantoms of fear and terror lurking in the darkness between the stars.  \nTHE ORDOS MAJORIS  \nFrom beginnings shrouded in mystery and dating back to the Horus Heresy, it is believed that the Inquisition coalesced into the beginnings of its current form by the beginning of M32, 800 years after the Heresy, although its essential components and apparatus, such as the League of Blackships and the \"Witch Hunters\" of the Sisters of Silence were active before the Heresy began. While it is believed the Ordos were riven with various factions almost since its inception, as a whole it existed as a single unified organization charged with examining and hunting down all the myriad threats to the Imperium, from the corruption caused by Chaos, heretics, mutants and rebels, to assaults from vicious alien species like the Tyranids, Orks or Dark Eldar, with only the Ordo Malleus existing as a separate entity to police the Inquisition itself. Though not expounded upon even among other Inquisitors not so initiated, its other, secret purpose was dealing with the threat of Chaos to the Imperium as a whole and in particular to those within the Inquisition that may be drawn to it for whatever purpose, whether malign or with the best of intentions.  \nIt was only after the Age of Apostasy brought about by High Lord Goge Vandire and his Reign of Blood early in M36 that significant changes came about to  \nthe Inquisition. The Ordo Malleus was rent in two under a powerful new mandate, becoming one of what became three Ordos Majoris in its own right, each one tasked with a specific area of concern in defense of the God-Emperor and his Imperium.  \nTHE ORDO HERETICUS: THE THREAT WITHIN  \nRather than serve merely as the internal investigators of the Inquisition itself, the Ordo Hereticus was made responsible for protecting the Imperium from itself and guarding its future so that never again would it be threatened by those entrusted with its protection. Hereticus Inquisitors are the most feared members of the Inquisition, as their focus is on mankind itself against the witch, the heretic and the mutant, and they are pitiless with those who fail the Emperor. The arrival of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor on a world is met with fear and awe, as no one but the Inquisitor himself knows where his attentions will fall. As part of this mandate, it is to this Ordo falls responsibility for investigating the psyker taint, and it is in this capacity that they arouse the most fear and suspicion.  \nThe dread starships that make up the fleet of the League of Blackships are under the express jurisdiction ofthe Adeptus Astra Telepathica, but the very nature of a Blackship’s mission makes strict oversight by the Inquisition a necessity. As these titanic barges ply the atramentous void on routes between heavily populated worlds and Holy Terra seeking out psykers for examination, it is common for Inquisitors of the Ordo Hereticus to travel onboard, as this gives them the opportunity to investigate a planet's potential for psychically-based corruption. To this end they are also captained by senior Inquisitorial agents and embarked by a shipbased defense force of Inquisitorial Storm Troopers  \nor Sisters of Battle.Those few found strong-willed and sane enough to undergo the rigorous training and indoctrination required to become a Sanctioned Psyker or Astropath are selected, with a number of these eventually coming into the services of the Inquisition itself.
