The Xenarites are a radical and secretive sect within the Adeptus Mechanicus who focus on studying and using alien technology.[1] They are considered an Imperial Cult currently under Inquisitorial scrutiny.[4c]
Contents
Overview
The members of this group are absolutely dedicated and devoted to the exploitation of Xenos artifacts; an act that their brethren find offensive. Aware of this antipathy towards them, the Xenarites undergo a series of covert studies which involve dispatching Tech-priests to alien sites in order to retrieve or study artifacts which are later brought to Forge Worlds for study as prescribed by doctrine.[Needs Citation]
Due to the nature of their role, Xenarites are known to face resistance from local aliens or end up in a fight against an Inquisitor or even their fellow Techpriests. As such, conflicts against Imperial forces is not unknown and has forced the sect deeper underground where they conceal evidence of their activities as well as heavily defend their study sites.[2]
History
During the Horus Heresy, the Forge World of Stygies VIII was attacked by traitor forces. The Forge World was only saved thanks to an intervention by the Eldar. This resulted in the formation of the Xenarites, who set up their home in Vulcanis.[1][4a] To this day, Stygies VIII has an influential group of Xenarites within its ranks.[3]
Their beliefs brought them into conflict with Imperial authorities, most notably the Inquisition, who drove the sect underground.[4b]
Inquisitor Kessel once stopped a group from reactivating an Eldar Wraithlord by mustering a force of Skitarii, including his future warrior band member, Logan Storm.[2]
A xenarite cult stows away aboard an Ark Mechanicus vessel conducting an expedition to Silva Tenebris, hoping to claim the Necron technology there. The cult was destroyed by Skitarii and Techpriests before they can accomplish their goal.
