→Imperium
During the [[Dark Age of Technology]] [[Humanity]] heavily used robotic constructs. This culminated in the creation of the [[Men of Iron]], which eventually revolted against their masters in a devastating war.{{Fn|1}}
Due to the traumatic experiences against the Men of Iron the [[Imperium]] even in its early days had strict laws forbidding the creation of [[Silica Animus]] or [[Abominable Intelligence]]. Imperial Robots, known as '''Automata''', are far more simplistic by comparison and heavily regulated by bodies such as the [[Legio Cybernetica]] of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]. The Imperium further restricts the need for complex robotics by utilizing biologically-based [[Servitor]]s for tasks traditionally reserved for robots. Creating a robot whose cognitivve cognitive abilities are beyond set regulations is a severe form of [[Heretek|Tech-Heresy]] brutally punished by the Mechanicum's [[Prefecture Magisterium]].{{Fn|3}}
