==Overview==
In the [[Imperium]], technology is the province of the [[Tech tech priest]]s of [[Mars]], servants of the [[Omnissiah]]. Certain avenues of research, innovation, and development lie outside the strictures of the Omnissiah’s creed, and thus are labeled tech heresy. Most [[Xenos]] tech and even some advancements from the [[Dark Age of Technology]] are considered forbidden by the Tech-priests, and any who dabble in such blasphemous experiments are hunted with righteous fury.{{Fn|5}}
Nevertheless, there exist some who continue these heretical practices and unleash terrors or mistakes to ravage the worlds of Man.{{Fn|5}} Heretechnica ranged from those which may be contained to the horrors of the mind or body of only a single being, to higher orders of Heretechnica, capable of unleashing plagues of death across entire star systems, draining the energy from stars or distorting space-time itself.{{Fn|1}} The Tech-priests of Mars and the [[Inquisition]] often confront such renegades and their tools.{{Fn|5}}
