→Tech Adept
'''Tech Adepts''', or '''Tech-Priest Adepts''', are adept grade members of the Martian priesthood. They are skilled in one or more disciplines.{{Fn|29f}} These individuals are fully initiated acolytes of the Cult Mechanicus and form the bulk of its ordained priesthood.{{Fn|24e}}
Although they might not have yet the same authority and responsibilities as a Tech-Priest, they still can still have the potential to control and command a myriad of powerful arcane weapons, [[automata]], and battlegear used by Tech-Priests of various disciplines.{{Fn|27}} They can are individuals of proven intellectual potential within the Machine Cult.{{Fn|25a}}
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|24a}}
