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]], [[Adeptus Mechanicus]],{{Fn|1}} and the [[Inquisition]] are not formally a part of the Adeptus Terra, while the [[Space Marines]] are only loosely affiliated{{Fn|1}}.

The Adeptus Terra is an umbrella organisation, and not really an organisation in itself, as each of its divisions functions largely autonomously. The most powerful individual in the Adeptus Terra (and if not in theory, then in practice, the entire Imperium) is the [[Master of the Administratum]].{{Cite ThisFn|1}}
The following are all formally part of the Adeptus Terra{{Cite ThisFn|1}}:
*[[Administratum]]
*[[Departmento Munitorum]]
