A part of the [[Arbitrator]] branch of the Arbites, Verispex are specialists in the gathering and analysis of forensic evidence. They are able to track a weapon from a spent slug, determining its exact pattern from the temperature of a las-burn or the tear-pattern of a [[Chain Weapon]]. They are able to filter out and separate tiny organic traces clinging to a burgled Adeptus shrine so that [[Cyber-Mastiff]]s can be put on the scent, or identify the print-mill three systems away whose stolen inks were used on underground pamphlets inciting sedition. A Verispex may spend years of their career cataloging the unique signatures of the artificial atmosphere aboard every starship in their [[Sub-Sector]] so that a suspect can be traced by the residue found in their lungs. Though often confined in laboratories, Verispex are known to work in the field with standard Arbitrators as well as [[Detective]] teams. Because their skills require a great deal of technical and scientific knowledge, Verispex are trained by [[Tech-Priest]]s of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] in the lesser lore of their temples but are not fully inducted members of their order in the way that [[Techmarine]]s of the [[Adeptus Astartes]] are. Nonetheless this is considered a high honorhonour, and Verispex sport a blue steel armband to mark them out as ordained by the [[Omnissiah]]. This makes some Arbites commanders skeptical of the Verispex, who view them as not having complete loyalty to the ideals of the [[Lex Imperialis]].{{Fn|1}}
