The Adeptus Mechanicus is the ancient, techno-religious priesthood of Mars—guardians of humanity’s lost knowledge and masters of the Imperium’s vast industry. Bound by the Cult Mechanicus, they worship the Machine God and His Omnissiah, seeing every circuit, weapon, and starship as a sacred relic to be revered rather than understood. Their Tech-Priests are figures of iron and faith, replacing flesh with bionics until little remains of the human form, while their armies march to war with Skitarii legions, towering Titans, and devastating war engines. Though allied with the Imperium, the Mechanicus stands apart, answering first to Mars and its mysteries, hoarding forbidden lore from the Dark Age of Technology and pursuing their endless Quest for Knowledge. They are not simply engineers or soldiers—they are a civilization within a civilization, where science and religion are one.
