Ordo Sepulturum
The Ordo Sepulturum are one of the many Ordos Minoris of the Imperial Inquisition.[1]
Overview
The Ordo Sepulturum is one of the smallest and more specialised within the Inquisition. Originally, it was created to combat a heretical zombie plague.[5] Since then, the Ordo has expanded to deal with other warp-spawned[5] plagues that threaten the Imperium, such as the Zombie Plague and the Obliterator Virus, and operates around the Eye of Terror. Even though occurrences of Plague Zombies have been recorded across the Imperium for millennia, the Plague Fleets of the Chaos Champion Typhus have increased the threat level posed by such a foe to the level where they are considered a serious danger to the Imperium.[1]
To herald Abaddon's 13th Black Crusade, incidents involving the Zombie Plague increased around the Cadian system dramatically. This brought the attention of the Inquisition with numerous Thorian agents in communication with each other. The rising number of such Inquisitors that were investigating the plague resulted in the formation of the Ordo Sepulturum.[1]
Since the appearing of the Great Rift, the Ordo began to operate with diseases throughout all the galaxy.[3]
