The '''Adeptus Astra Telepathica''' is an organization of the [[Adeptus Terra]], responsible for the recruitment and training of [[psyker]]s into the service of the [[Imperium]]. The Adeptus Astra Telepathica trains the majority of Imperial psykers, which become known as [[Sanctioned Psyker]]s.
==History==
[[Image:Telepathica.jpg|thumb|right|An Adept of the Adeptus Astra Telepathica{{Fn|11c}}]]
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|8}}
