The '''Adeptus Mechanicus''' is a technological organization, often known as the ''Priesthood of'' [[Mars]]. It holds a monopoly on technological knowledge in the [[Imperium]]. Their [[Forge World (planet class)|Forge World]]s turn out the Imperium's most powerful and advanced weaponry and equipment. The Techpriests are vital in maintaining much of the Imperium's more technologically advanced equipment, not the least of which is the [[Emperor of Mankind|Emperor's]] life-sustaining [[Golden Throne]].
While the Adeptus Mechanicus is a part of the Imperium, it has developed separately and enjoys a considerable degree of independence. Due to the great amount power it wields, the Adeptus Mechanicus is more like an allied empire than an organization within the Imperium. The Adeptus Mechanicus also follows a different religion from the rest of the Imperium.
The symbol of the Adeptus Mechanicus is a skull that's half bone and half machine, set against the background of a black and white cog.
