→Tech-Heresy
The [[Treaty of Olympus]] outlines a strict code of Technological conduct, as dictated by the God-Emperor during the onset of his [[Great Crusade]], dubbing a far range of innovations and fields as Tech-Heresy (''Heretechnica'') and its practitioners as [[Heretek]]s. These include such forbidden sciences as unleashing plagues of death across entire [[system|star system]]s, draining energy from [[star]]s, or distorting space-time. However the three greatest orders of Tech-Heresy are that of [[Abominable Intelligence]], manipulating the Human genome, and delving deeply into the powers of the [[Warp]].{{Fn|10}}
A maverick magos who found guilty of modus innovatum or repeatedly neglects neglecting the numerous prayers and rites of maintenance and or other needlessly tedious rituals on machines in the pursuit of efficiency might be sentenced to [[mind-wipe]] and [[servitor]]ization.{{Fn|24a}}
Preventing Tech-Heresy takes many forms, like the [[Puritens]] surgery.{{citethis}}
