The Treaty of Olympus, also known as the Treaty of Mars,[3] was a diplomatic agreement between the Imperium of Man and the Martian Mechanicum binding the former to the latter in 739.M30.[2]
Overview
The Treaty was signed shortly after the Emperor landed on Mars' Olympus Mons at the dawn of the Great Crusade,[3] calling for unity and displaying seemingly supernatural powers over machinery, repairing a Knight instantly with a mere touch.[1] His displays of immense knowledge and power upon his arrival shocked the Tech-Priests present to their core, solidifying the idea that he was the avatar of their god incarnate in many.[3] Many on Mars began to consider the Emperor the Omnissiah, the Machine God incarnate.[1]
As part of the agreement, the Emperor and his Imperium of Man would not interfere in the internal structures of the Mechanicum and allowed them to continue their beliefs in the Cult Mechanicus,[1] thus permitting their high levels of autonomy. In exchange, the Cult of the Machine produced and manufactured the wide amount of weapon, ships and other tools and other needs for survival for the Imperium to fuel the Great Crusade.[1][3]
Other stipulations included the banning of certain practices and lines of research. This would lay the foundation of the highest forms of tech heresy, known as the Orders of High Heretechnica. Leveraging the authority he had due to being perceived as their god incarnate, the Emperor restricted large amounts of certain known on forge worlds as heretechnica, locking away said know and restricting further delving. This heretechnica consisted of bans on the creation of artificial intelligence, in-depth study of the warp, and manipulation of the human gene-code, primarily as related to Primarchs, Custodes, the creation of pariahs or pursuits into other mutant strains.[4]
Despite the burgening belief in the Emperor being the Omnissiah, there were many dissenters. Many members of the Martian Mechanicum, including Fabricator-General Kelbor-Hal, resented the Treaty of Olympus and saw it as a means for the Emperor to subordinate Martian forges. This tension eventually led to the Schism of Mars during the Horus Heresy.[1]
