'''Tech-Adepts''', or '''Tech-Priest Adepts''', are adept grade members of the Martian priesthood. They are skilled in one or more disciplines.{{Fn|4a}} These individuals are fully initiated acolytes of the [[Cult Mechanicus ]] and form the bulk of its ordained priesthood.{{Fn|1e}}
==Overview==
These individuals are typically low-ranking.{{Fn|1a}} Although they might not have yet the same authority and responsibilities as a [[Tech-Priest]], they still can still control and command a myriad of powerful arcane weapons, [[automata]], and battlegear used by Tech-Priests of various disciplines.{{Fn|3}} They can are individuals of proven intellectual potential within the [[Machine Cult]].{{Fn|2a}}
Tech-Adepts can be some of the lowest ranking Tech-Priests of the Martian cult. The lowest ranking among them mainly have maintenance and construction duties, but as a Tech-adept progresses and acquires greater knowledge, they are relieved from the more trivial day-to-day tasks and allowed to study and learn of the greater mysterious and missing techniques that have prevented any kind of progressive development in the Imperium’s technological base.{{Fn|1a}}
