## Stats

Enter the following information in each section below.

## Civilization Stats

**Tier 5 Galactic Dominance**: Since they are part of the Imperium of Man, they have access to technological means of overcoming vast distances in a short amount of time with FTL technology across the Galaxy. They are even capable of settling on other worlds and even terraforming it to their wishes.

## Power Source

**Energy Source: Paraphernalia**

**Science:** Robotic Enhancements (As a faction devoted to technological advancements, they seek to make all sorts of mechanical augmentations to further the success of mankind)

**Divine**: Soul Manipulation (Some of their members are capable of tearing apart the spirits of machines)

**Nature:** Human Physiology (Despite their mechanical alterations, they were originally human or still part human)

## Conquest Stats

**Tier 7 Planet**: The Adeptus Mechanicus possesses total control over the planet of Mars as it is their stronghold of crafting powerful weapons and tech for the Imperium.

## Power Stats

**DC: Multi-Continent:** With the Titans being some of the greatest weapons of the Imperium, they are capable of mass planetary devastation and overcoming large threats. At least **Large Island**, likely higher with Belisarius Cawl can reduce a super-heavy tank to coiling wisps of steam. Far Higher with Solar Atomiser. **Large Island**: The Mechanicus tanks and walkers should be comparable to other Imperial tanks which are of similar models, likely higher. **Small Building**: Mechanicus soldiers that are capable of matching other infantry of the Imperium.

**Durability: Multi-Continent:** With Titans armors which can withstand blows from enemies with similar level of power even it's own weapons. **Large Island** (likely higher): Belisarius Cawl can take this level of damage and keep fighting. **Large Island**: The armors of their tanks and large robots which can take hits from other tanks as well. **Small Building**: The durability of the Mechanicus Soldiers.

**Speed: FTL+**: With the usage of FTL travel for their ships. Unknown Movement Speed, At least **Hypersonic+** for Belisarius Cawl, likely **FTL** Combat & Reaction Speed: To an Archmagos Dominus, the secrets of the battlefield are laid bare. They can track every bullet’s ballistic trajectory in slow motion, and process every las-pack’s current capacity and every battle engine’s optimal fire solution. Belisarius Cawl himself is capable of processing and cogitating billions of different tasks and algorithms simultaneously, and should be superior the Mechanicus Magos capable of processing information and running calculations in timeframes of microseconds or even nanoseconds. **Unknown**: The speed of Aircrafts in space. **Subsonic**: the speed of Aircraft in the atmosphere of planets. **Superhuman**: the speed of land tanks, walkers and elite troops. **Athletic Human**: the running speed of regular troops.

## Strengths/Pros

They are nearly machine in their lives, this would allow them to be able to live long lives for possibly eternity, they are even entirely devoted to their beliefs of the Emperor of Mankind as their Machine God and would follow him to death. The Adeptus Mechanicus are well in tuned with machines that they are nearly capable of constructing any humanly constructs, and they possess the greatest of humanities technology, which makes them a viable ally to have.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

Like any regular machines, many of the members are prone to malfunction and even be driven insane with the amount of information they accumulate and even view their fellow humans as feeble and weak as they are still flesh, this would lead to them distancing themselves from their allies and hording advanced technology.
