→Questor Mechanicus
===Questor Mechanicus===
[[Imagefile:KnightHouseOrg2.jpg|thumb|right|Organization of a Knightly House sworn to the [[Mechanicum]] ]]Knight Houses sworn to the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] are known as '''Questor Mechanicus'''. These were usually were discovered directly by the [[Explorator Fleet]]s of the [[Mars|Martian Mechanicum]] , either during the [[Age of Strife]] or the [[Great Crusade]]. The rulers of these Knight Worlds traded resources and services with these newly arrived [[Tech-Priest]]s, and in times bonds of service and alliances were formed. The Knight Houses greatly valued the technological support and knowledge the Mechanicum offered, while the Tech-Priests exploited Knight Worlds for resources, service, archaeotech, and in some cases even [[STC]]s.{{Fn|29a}}
Unlike the Questor Imperialis, which worship the [[Imperial Cult]], those of the Questor Mechanicus venerate the [[Cult Mechanicus]] and the [[Omnissiah]]. Its members have the unmistakable influence of the Adeptus Mechanicus on their culture, and their Knight Worlds are often more industrial and urbanized compared to those of the Questor Imperialis.{{Fn|29a}}
