The '''Treaty of Olympus''' was a diplomatic agreement between the [[Imperium of Man]] and the [[Adeptus Mechanicus|Martian Mechanicum]] binding the former to the latterin 739. [[M39]]{{Fn|2}}. The Treaty was signed shortly after the [[Emperor]] landed on Mars at the dawn of the [[Great Crusade]], calling for unity and displaying seemingly supernatural powers over machinery, repairing a [[Knight]] instantly with a mere touch.{{Fn|1}} Many on Mars began to consider the Emperor the [[Omnissiah]] incarnate. As part of the stipulations of the treaty, the [[Emperor]] agreed to not interfere in the internal structure of the Mechanicum and allowed them to continue their beliefs in the [[Omnissiah]], the avatar of the Machine God. In exchange, the Cult of the Machine produced and manufactured the wide amount of weapon, ships and other tools for the Imperium for the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}
Many members of the Martian Mechanicum, including [[Fabricator-General]] [[Kelbor-Hal]], resented the Treaty of Olympus and saw it as a means for the Emperor to subordinate Martian forges. This tension eventually led to the [[Schism of Mars]] during the [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1}}
