'''Adeptus''', '''Adepta''', or '''Adept''' is a title given to servants of the [[Administratum]] and [[Adeptus Terra]].{{Fn|3a}} "Adept" covers a large list of different titles, grades, and specialties.{{Fn|3a}} The title is much respected and [[Space Marines]], [[Imperial Guard]] Commanders, and some high ranking Imperial Guard members,{{Fn|1}} and [[Navigator]]s are entitled to use it also.{{Fn|41}} On [[Terra]], the title separates the employed and settled servants of the Adeptus Terra, from the often destitute non-adept.{{Fn|3a}} Non-adepts can gain the title by becoming [[Menial]]s.{{Fn|1}} Some Adepts gain their title through skill, but many others are granted the title hereditarily.{{Fn|3a}}
Example ranks of Adepts can include:
*[[Scriviner]]{{Fn|3a}}
*[[Scribe]]{{Fn|3a}}
