They will rarely act in the pursuit of justice, though, and are far more often an extension of their Governor's will. In order to keep the Imperium's grip on a world secure, Enforcers will discipline, capture and execute those who go against the Governor's proclamations, using a heavy hand to crush any rebellions or seditious elements they learn of. They are distinct and separate from the forces of the [[Adeptus Arbites]], however, who are concerned with any violations of the [[Lex Imperialis]]. Enforcers, meanwhile, only have as much authority as they are granted by their [[Planetary Governor]].{{Fn|1}}
Local Enforcers will gather suspected [[Rogue Psyker]]s in specialised prisons where they are held until the [[psyker]]s are harvested by a visiting [[League of Black Ships|Black Ship]].{{Fn|8}}
The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] has its own version of Enforcers, known as the [[Astynomia]].{{Fn|2}}
