A '''Missionary''' is an agent of the [[Missionarius Galaxia]] and tasked with spreading the word of the [[Imperial Cult|Imperial Creed]] throughout the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|1}}
===Overview===
Missionaries have little guidance from the [[Adeptus Ministorum]] and are mainly free to spread the faith in any way they see fit. Missionaries are skilled in oration, manipulation, and subtly changing a culture to bring it into line with the [[Imperial Cult]], replacing the gods of the existing pantheon with Imperial [[Saint]]s or the ritual consumption of human flesh with that of a rare animal. If these methods fail to change the religious habits of a newly discovered population, they are also often skilled warriors not above the use of brute force.{{Fn|3}}
Missionaries range from the young fervent hopefuls to the old, wise, and toughened members of the ''Missionarus Galaxia''. They are always at the forefront of Imperial expansion and accompany the crusading armies as they discover new worlds and contact lost civilizations.
===Holy Terra Missionary===

There are Missionaries who are trained on [[Terra]] itself and have mastered many holy Acts of Faith. They're attached to a [[Canoness]] as personal retinues to strengthen her troops and root out concealed [[heretic]]s.{{Fn|6}}
