==Overview==
The members of this group are absolutely dedicated and devoted to the exploitation of [[Xenos]] artifacts; an act that their brethren find offensive. Aware of this antipathy towards them, the Xenarites undergo a series of covert studies which involve dispatching [[Tech-priest]]s to alien sites in order to retrieve or study artifacts which are later brought to [[Forge Worlds]] for study as prescribed by doctrine.{{Cite Marker EndFn|1}}
Due to the nature of their role, Xenarites are known to face resistance from local aliens or end up in a fight against an [[Inquisitor]] or even their fellow Techpriests. As such, conflicts against [[Imperial]] forces is not unknown and has forced the sect deeper underground where they conceal evidence of their activities as well as heavily defend their study sites.{{Fn|2}}
