Changes

There are many mutants amongst Humanity. Most pose a great threat, and very few are tolerated. The most important mutants are [[psyker]]s, who are both the most useful and the most dangerous. Only by the righteous persecution of the [[Inquisition]] and the careful testing of the [[Coven Master]]s of the [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]] can dangerous mutants be cleansed from the Imperium.{{Fn|7}}

The position of mutants within the Imperium varies from world to world. On primitive worlds they are often slain at birth. On more advanced worlds they may be allowed to live, but rarely enjoy the benefits of other humans and are usually segregated from the normal population. In general terms, mutants form a huge downtrodden portion of the Imperium's population. Their dissatisfaction sometimes erupts into rebellion, sometimes allowing the mutants to take temporary control of an entire world. Retaliation, however, is usually swift and effective.{{Fn|5}}
