Divisio Investigatus

After a pilgrimage to Mars in 199.M41, High Fabricator
Davos Phar chose to re-create at the Lathe Worlds some of
the wonders he had witnessed on the home planet of the
Adeptus Mechanicus. Thus, High Fabricator Phar chose to
build a small research group dedicated to the development
and testing of weapon systems, which he named the Divisio Investigatus. Despite most considering its creation a tribute to
similar organizations on Mars, the Lathe-Covenant Council
considered it a radical and unwelcome innovation. Given only
a minimum amount of resources, personnel, and equipment,
the Divisio Investigatus has labored without recognition or
even acknowledgement for centuries. The recent suspicion
of many militant groups of the Mechanicus sparked by the
Malygrisian tech-heresy has not helped the Divisio’s fortunes.
Nevertheless, the Divisio Investigatus has, from time to time,
presented small discoveries that the Magos of the Lathes have
(after exhaustive review) grudgingly accepted.
