The basis of the Adaptus Mechanicus
The Adeptus Mechanicus are the servitors of technology, they are often known as the Tech-piests. Their organisation is monasterial and ascetic, their devotion to technical research is sustained by a driving dedication which may be likened to religious zeal. In the Age of the Imperium science and technology walk hand-in-hand with magic, mysticism and superstition - not least in the colleges of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Consequently, the Tech-priests are regarded by many as devilish wizards, dabblers in the old sciences left over from the Dark Age of Technology. The principal colleges of the Adeptus Mechanicus are on Mars, and most Tech-priests live on the Imperial planet. Their chief duty is the servicing, maintaining and operating of the machinery that gives the Emperor life, a task which is becoming increasingly arduous as the millennia pass. Tech-priests wear a simple uniform that echoes their monastic life-style, comprising a habit (usually a faded red colour and often has serveral chemical spills) and heavy metal boots.
