The '''Engineers Guild''' were important segments of [[Squat (Rogue Trader)|Squat]] society.{{Fn|1}}
Tracing its origin back to the [[Age of Isolation]], the Squats as a whole developed a considerable technological expertise in order to survive without [[Terra]]n support, and there was regular mercantile travel between strongholds. From this traffic arose a distinct class of travelling engineer, moving constantly between strongholds to undertake important technological tasks. Squat Engineer Guilds arose to protect these individuals, who often found themselves caught up in inter-League wars between various Squat strongholds. Soon enough Squat Engineer Guilds developed into one of the most powerful institutions of Squat society, and Engineers themselves enjoyed more prestige as a result. It became commonplace for gifted Engineers to be inducted to Guilds at an early age.{{Fn|1}}
