|Box Content=
The [[Adeptus Terra]], also known as the Priesthood of Earth, is the central organisation of the Imperium, to which most of the Imperium's other official departments and organisations belong. Only the Ecclesiarchy and the Inquisition are not formally a part of the Adeptus Terra.
===Departments of the Adeptus Terra===
The most important and well-known Imperial organisations include:
* The [[Administratum]] - Responsible for administrative functions, it is the largest division, numbering countless scribes and petty officials. It administrates the Imperium at every level, assessing tithes and taxes, conducting population censuses, recording and planning. It consists of innumerable subdivisions, offices and and departments.
* [[Departmento Munitorum]] - A department of the Administration, responsible for administering and supplying the Imperial Guard.
* [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]] - The Imperium's network of [[astropath]]s, responsible for transmitting faster-than-light messages through the Imperium.
* [[Adeptus Astronomica]] - Responsible for maintaining the [[Astronomican]], which is used by the Navigators to navigate through the Warp.
* [[Navis Nobilite]] - [[Navigator]]s who pilot Imperial vessels through the [[Warp]].
* [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] - Technicians and scientists who build and maintain Imperial equipment, vessels, and weapons of war.
* [[Adeptus Custodes]] - Guardians of the Emperor's physical form.
* [[Adeptus Arbites]] - Galactic police force which enforces the "Lex Imperia" - the Imperial law.
* [[Officio Assassinorum]] - The most subvert of all the known Imperial divisions, the assassins are responsible for removing key leaders of an enemy.
* [[Imperial Fleet]] - Responsible for all interstellar travel.
