{{AdeptusMechanicusPortal}}The '''Rite of Setesh''' is the name of a device as well as a procedure conducted by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. Used by the rich and the powerful, it involves the mummification of the body and placing it within an exo-skeleton that covers that body by use of a mechanical augmetic rig. The dying body henceforth is kept alive by this machinery and prevents them prevented from dying of either sickness or old age , well past the normal human lifespan. These mechanical coffins skirt the edge of techno-heresy to the [[Cult Mechanicus who frown ]], which frowns on its usage due to both its form and its function.

Within the [[Calixis Sector]], the [[MagosBiologis]] Biologis of the [[Hippocrasian Agglomeration]] are willing to fashion these implants but for a hefty price.^{{Fn|1}}
