'''Chaos Cults''' are the most dangerous of all those who plot to overthrow the rule of the [[Imperium]] from within. All planets and civilisations belonging to the [[Imperium]] can harbour [[Chaos]] organisations, which themselves are as diverse in practice and membership as is imaginable. From the blood-soaked sacrificial cults of feral worlds to the philosophical secret societies of more advanced worlds, the temptations of Chaos can capture all.Indeed, according to the [[Ordo Hereticus]], Chaos Cults can arise from any class of Imperial society, be it impoverished, noble, [[hive]]-gang, [[abhuman]], soldiers, or [[mutant]].{{Fn|4}}
The objective of the Chaos cult is to survive and eventually dominate the society. Mere survival is particularly important on Imperial worlds, where Chaos worship is the greatest of heresies and Inquisitors are always vigilant and ready to wipe out any taint of Chaos.{{Fn|2}}
