==Overview==
The Treaty was signed shortly after the [[Emperor]] landed on Mars' [[Olympus Mons]] at the dawn of the [[Great Crusade]],{{Fn|3}} calling for unity and displaying seemingly supernatural powers over machinery, repairing a [[Knight]] instantly with a mere touch.{{Fn|1}} His displays of immense knowledge and power upon his arrival shocked the Tech-Priests present to their core, solidifying the idea that he was the avatar of their god incarnate in many.{{Fn|3}} Many on Mars began to consider the Emperor the [[Omnissiah]], the Machine God incarnate.{{Fn|1}} This moment has been deeply ingrained into the Cult's dogma of present day.{{Fn|3}}
As part of the agreement, the [[Emperor]] and his Imperium of Man would not interfere in the internal structures of the Mechanicum and allowed them to continue their beliefs in the [[Cult Mechanicus]],{{Fn|1}} thus permitting their high levels of autonomy. In exchange, the Cult of the Machine produced and manufactured the wide amount of weapon, ships and other tools and other needs for survival for the Imperium to fuel the [[Great Crusade]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}
