The '''Taghmata Omnissiah''' (translated from [[Lingua Technis]] as ''that which is divinely ordered for war'') was a type of military operational force of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].{{Fn|1a}}
The "third arm" of the Mechanicum armed forces alongside the [[Collegia Titanica]] and [[Skitarii]], the Taghmata Omnissiah was a type of feudal military organization enacted in times of war and urgency. It represented the feudal power structure that each [[Forge World]] could muster in times of battle. This type of feudalized command was necessary, as at the time of the Heresy the Forge World's Worlds of the Mechanicum were each a kingdom in and of itself with its own complex hierarchies and traditions.{{Fn|1a}}
The Taghmata Omnissiah included militant [[Tech-Priest]]s, [[Legio Cybernetica|Cybernetica]], [[Knight]]s, [[Combat Servitor]]s, [[Thallax]], [[Auxilia Myrmidon|Myrmidon]]'s, [[Tech-Thrall]]s, [[Ordinatus]] engines, and a wide variety of other miscellaneous forces at a Forge World's disposal.{{Fn|1a}}
