These individuals are typically low-ranking.{{Fn|1a}} Although they might not have yet the same authority and responsibilities as a [[Tech-Priest ]] master, they still have the potential to control and command a myriad of powerful arcane weapons, [[automata]], and battlegear used by Tech-Priests of various disciplines, should they have the resources and need to do so.{{Fn|3}} They are individuals of proven intellectual potential and skill within the Machine Cult.{{Fn|2a}}
Tech-Adepts can be some of the lowest ranking Tech-Priests of the Martian cult. The lowest ranking among them mainly have maintenance and construction duties, but as a Tech-adept progresses and acquires greater knowledge, they are relieved from the more trivial day-to-day tasks and allowed to study and learn of the greater mysterious and missing techniques that have prevented any kind of progressive development in the Imperium’s technological base.{{Fn|1a}} A [[Forge World]] populated by billions of menials might be presided over by tens of thousands of Tech-Priests and millions of Tech-adepts toiling away each day within their local [[System|star system]].{{Fn|10}}
