The recovery of a working STC system is the primary focus of the Adeptus Mechanicus's ''quest for knowledge''. Part of this quest is also to find, collate and utilise STC print-outs. The STC is their equivalent to the font of all knowledge (which is exactly what it was intended to be). Ancient recovered print-outs from STCs are regarded as sacred texts. The Mechanicus strives to recover as much information as possible from them, hoping to find new knowledge, weapons and technologies. Although the most advanced technological information eludes the Adeptus Mechanicus, through their efforts, much has been either recovered or reconstructed through comparison of copies.
Probably the most significant find of an STC fragment was by [[Magos]] [[Arkhan Land]] in [[M31]]. This fragment contained the templates for the construction of the now famous [[Land Raider]] Main Battle Tank, and the [[Land Speeder]], all named in honour of their discoverer.<sup>5</sup>.
Any rumours of a working STC system are taken at their word and expeditions are sent to locate it<sup>6</sup>.
