==Origins & Beliefs==
The '''Cult of Redemption''' is an extreme religious sect that worships the [[God-Emperor of Mankind]]. It originated on the [[Hive World]] of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]], but similar cults can be found throughout the [[Imperium]]. Redemption belief is based on the [[Imperial Creed]], which holds that mankind is ruled and guided by the Emperor. While the Imperial Creed has definite militant overtones, the Redemption has taken it one stage further.
The Redemption believes that the only way to achieve redemption for themselves, Necromunda and ultimately mankind, is to cleanse it of its sinfulness. Redemptionist prophets foretell of the destruction of not just Necromunda but of mankind. For Man to be saved it must be purged of sin. Their methods of redemption are highly violent, its members sworn to expunge all sin with fire and blade. Unlike most extreme Imperial sects, Redemptionists do not limit their hatred and violent purges to just mutants, psykers or aliens, they see sin in every creature, which along with the sinner, must be destroyed through bloodshed and fire.
