== '''The Inquisition''' ==


The single most powerful unifying force in the Imperium is faith:
The reverent worship of the God-Emperor that binds loyal Imperial citizens together.
It is the sole purpose of the inqusition to make sure that the all important faith of the imperium is not defiled by filth, either from inside by those who would seek to pollute The Emperor's most holy light, such as mutants and heretics or from without by chaos or the alien.


'''IMPORTANT'''


The organization is split into three main parts:
The Inquisition, having fulfilled a mission charged to them by the Ordo Malleus, has been withdrawn from Hive Malton.  All law enforcement duties have been taken up by the [[Imperium/Commissariat|Imperial Commissariat]].


*Ordo Malleus (Daemonhunters) - concerns itself with daemonic threats to the Imperium.
</center>


*Ordo Xenos (Alien hunters) - seeks out and eliminates alien influence within the Imperium.
== '''The Inquisition''' ==
 
*Ordo Hereticus (Witch hunters) - specialises in discovering and destroying heretics and traitors within the Imperium.
 
 
There are other Ordos of the Inquisition but these Ordos are smaller and more specialized than the main three Ordos. The Ordo Sepultrum, one of these minor Ordos created during the 10th Black Crusade to deal with zombie threats, is extremly active in Malton, due to the high number of undead.
 
 
As Hive Malton itself has no aliens, the Ordo Xenos is rarely called upon. Instead, the Ordos Sepultrum and Malleus defend imperial citizens and strongholds against the cursed undead and the Ordo Hereticus is used to scout, eliminate key individuals and buildings and defend against internal threats, such as traitors.


== '''In the name of The Emperor...''' ==
The organisation often described as the left hand of the Emperor (the right hand, of course, being the Ecclesiarchy, described in another chapter). One of the most widely known organisations of the Imperium, the mandate of the Inquisition is to investigate and stop any threat to the Imperium, and it is willing to use whatever means it must to achieve this end. There are no bounds to the Inquisitions field of operation: plots,administrative inefficiency, corruption, mutants, crime, secret cults and heresy all come under its jurisdiction.


As one of the most powerful tools of the Emperor, joining the Inquisition has many benefits.  An Inquisitor has the power to requisition any members of imperium as he or she sees fit. They also has the power to be judge, jury and executioner; Punishment may be given at the discretion or the Inquisitor, providing it can be justified at a later time.
No organisation or no individual is immune to the Inquisitions gaze: governors, even command themselves, are subject to investigation and no treachery or betrayal of the Emperor is too petty to be left unpunished.


All this power comes at a heavy price, however, all wishing to become a fully fledged Inquisitor most pass a loyalty test (this may vary from person to person). After they have been deemed worthy, they are appointed by a senior Inquisitor, or in rare cases, the Lord Inquisitor Himself.
== '''Inquisitorial Power''' ==
After appointment, a new Inquisitor is given a mark to put on their profile, making them recognisable to other Inquisitors, whilst remaining hidden from others. The Inquisitor should never reveal who they are, except when requisitioning Imperial forces, punishing or warning and on the request of another Inquisitor. The last case is extremely rare and should be checked before confirming your identity to anyone.


The consequences of impersonating an Inquisitor in any way, shape or form are grave indeed, punishment is being forever declared an enemy of the Imperium and death on sight by any Imperial forces. This may or may not include a bounty and hunting by a member of the Officio Assassinorum. Failing to follow the orders of an Inquisitor without good reason (i.e. Identity not confirmed) also carries a punishment, which varies depending on both the nature of the refusal and the Inquisitor doing the trial.
The Inquisition, and its members, are above the law.  This means that
Inquisitors answer to noone but their elders in the Inquisition, not even command.  Equally, every Inquisitor has full right to call on any forces or resources he wants, demanding full cooperation fromsuch figures and organisations as the Imperial Guard, Space Marines and Adeptus Arbites. This means that not only is each Inquisitor a powerful figure in personal prowess, a skilled communicator, commander and power player, but also highly powerful in who or what he commands: everyone.

IMPORTANT

The Inquisition, having fulfilled a mission charged to them by the Ordo Malleus, has been withdrawn from Hive Malton. All law enforcement duties have been taken up by the Imperial Commissariat.

The Inquisition

The organisation often described as the left hand of the Emperor (the right hand, of course, being the Ecclesiarchy, described in another chapter). One of the most widely known organisations of the Imperium, the mandate of the Inquisition is to investigate and stop any threat to the Imperium, and it is willing to use whatever means it must to achieve this end. There are no bounds to the Inquisitions field of operation: plots,administrative inefficiency, corruption, mutants, crime, secret cults and heresy all come under its jurisdiction.

No organisation or no individual is immune to the Inquisitions gaze: governors, even command themselves, are subject to investigation and no treachery or betrayal of the Emperor is too petty to be left unpunished.

Inquisitorial Power

The Inquisition, and its members, are above the law. This means that Inquisitors answer to noone but their elders in the Inquisition, not even command. Equally, every Inquisitor has full right to call on any forces or resources he wants, demanding full cooperation fromsuch figures and organisations as the Imperial Guard, Space Marines and Adeptus Arbites. This means that not only is each Inquisitor a powerful figure in personal prowess, a skilled communicator, commander and power player, but also highly powerful in who or what he commands: everyone.
