Known as '''Lawtomata''' by the [[Hive World]]'s population, they are piloted by the psycho-conditioned and transplanted brains of especially fanatical [[Palanite Enforcer|Enforcers]]. Self-repairing and protected by thick carapace armour, the Sanctioners are also heavily armed with much larger versions of regular [[Palanite Enforcer]] weapons. These include [[Concussion Cannon]]s, [[Shock Baton|heavy shock baton]]s, and no fewer than five types of [[grenade]]s. In battle, Sanctioners are not only tough to take down due to their ability to self-repair, they can become mobile bulwarks to protect their [[human]] squadmates.{{Fn|1}}
