[[Image:Telepathica.jpg|thumb|right|An Adept of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica<sup>1</sup>]]
The Adeptus Astra Telepathica was first formed by the [[Emperor]] in preparation for the [[Great Crusade]]. Constructing the massive [[Astronomican]], the Astra Telepathica was at this time mandated by the Emperor to maintain and run the massive machine (though this duty has since fallen to the [[Adeptus Astronomica]]). Thus the Astra Telepathica played a key role in the [[Great Crusade]], as without their psychic light humanity could have never been unified. In addition, the Astra Telepathica was instrumental in rounding up the rogue psykers and "Witch-Kings" which had plagued Terra since the [[Age of Strife]].{{Fn|11}}
At the time of the Great Crusade, the Adeptus Astra Telepathica had a militant arm - the [[Sisters of Silence]] - who manned the blackships and searched for emerging psykers. It is unknown what happened to the order after the events of the [[Horus Heresy]].
