While their authority technically does extend to the Red Planet, the Custodes are wise enough to maintain cordial relations with the servants of the [[Omnissiah]], and so travel to Mars only occasionally, trusting instead that the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] will police its own deviants. Despite being charged with the Sol System's safety though, the more aggressive of the Custodes' [[Captain-General]]s have traditionally charged the Solar Watch with dealing with threats in the [[System]]s closest to Terra. These engagements are referred to as '''Talon Sorites''', but the {{PAGENAME}} does not waste their resources in war zones already heavily invested in by Imperial forces. Rather, they sally out to destroy developing threats or eliminate enemies that have broken existing Imperial lines. However, once they have crippled their enemies' capacity to function as an army of conquest, the {{PAGENAME}} will abruptly withdraw back to the Sol System and leave the Imperium's lesser forces to mop up what remains.{{Fn|1}}
