'''Epistolary''' is the third rank of [[Space Marine]] [[Librarians]].  Their primary role is chief communications officer, both on the battlefield and beyond.{{Fn|1}} They are able to use their powers to project their mind through the warp, similar to the [[Astropath]]s of the [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]], but without the need to endure the torturous ritual of [[soul binding]] that is otherwise required.  More commonly, their abilities are used over shorter distances, coordinating attacks and battle orders.{{Fn|3}}
