A Recidivist is the general Imperial term for Humans who break the laws of the Imperium[1] or oppose its rule.[2][3]
These include Imperial crime lords, slavers, fencers, fixers[1] and those citizens who commit or preach sedition against the Imperium[2]. The term is also applied to Humans of non-Imperial worlds, who resist the Imperium's efforts to bring Compliance to their Homeworlds.[3]
