Historical Revision Unit

Imperium Portal

The Historical Revision Unit was a department of the Administratum,^[1] whose main employees were the servants known as Historitors who worked within the Imperial Palace. Their job was to revise subversive records of history to a more reverent version.^[3] These Imperial scholars chronicled, catalogued and espoused sanctioned history.^[5a] Historicus was the title of the unit's head.^[1]

The Historical Revision Unit also operated during significant events like the 13th Black Crusade, disseminating news of Imperial battlefield successes to frontline guardsmen alongside the Commission for Moral Truth.^[4]

Roboute Guilliman intended to replace the Historical Revision Unit with the Logos Historica Verita, to form a more reliable Imperial history-keeping system. Members of the Logos Historica Verita were also called Historitors.^[6]
