Adeptus Administratum - Notable Divisions of the Administratum: The largest organisation of the Adeptus Terra, the Adeptus Administratum is itself divided into many branches. The great majority of its constituents have no concept of how their work fits into any overall scheme, or even that they are part of the same bureaucracy.Comprised of innumerable divisions and offices it is unlikely that any one person, even the Master of the Administratum themselves, has an idea of how many divisions exist within the monstrous Administratum. Their work is an end in itself and the single most important factor in the lives of Administratum adepts.It is enough to perform the task assigned; understanding is neither required, nor welcome. It is said by the soldiers of the Astra Militarum that for each soldier there are a dozen scribes and at least two minor officials toiling, recording petty details that no one will use or consider. Most of the divisions of the Administratum are petty and of little interest. Notable divisions of the Administratum include:Departmento Munitorum - The Departmento Munitorum, also called the Adeptus Munitorum, is a department or sub-division of the Adeptus Administratum devoted to the general administration, personnel assignment, supply and logistics of the Astra Militarum. The Munitorum has ultimate responsibility for the raising of new Imperial Guard regiments, the training of new Imperial Guard troops, the provision of equipment and supplies to all regiments in the field, and the transportation of troops and equipment to and from theatres of war using the vessels of the Navis Imperialis. It is primarily a logistical organisation, like the larger Administratum of which it is a part, but while the wider Administratum deals with the civilian logistics of running the entire Imperium of Man, the Munitorum deals solely with the military logistics necessary to fight and win the Imperium's wars on behalf of all branches of the Imperial armed forces.Departmento Exacta - The Departmento Exacta is the sub-division of the Adeptus Administratum tasked with the recovery of the Exacta, the second most important Imperial Tithe after that of the Departmento Munitorum, which determines what civilian strategic resources a world may possess that can benefit the wider economy of the Imperium. The Departmento Exacta has a well-deserved reputation for mercilessness and is able to command the invasion of a world should its criteria for the expected fulfillment of that planet's Exacta not be met to the exact specifications of their data.The Estate Imperium - The Estate Imperium is a division of the Administratum described as "...the million-strong records office of the Administratum." Presumably its purpose is to keep the records of Imperial adepta and furnish them when they are called for by the relevant arms of the Adeptus Terra. The division's head carries the title of Chancellor of the Estate Imperium. The Estate Imperium's importance is such that its leader sometimes holds a position in the Senatorum Imperialis of the High Lords of Terra.Historical Revision Unit - The Historical Revision Unit is another one of the myriad bureaucratic departments of the Administratum, whose adepts are the indentured servants and servitors known as "historitors" who work within the Imperial Palace. Their job is to revise subversive records of Imperial history into versions that are more reverent towards the Emperor and the version of Imperial history that most glorifies His name. The "Historicus" is the title of the unit's chief adept. One of the important duties of the Historical Revision Unit is seeking out historical records and, if need be, destroying them when ordered to do so by their superiors in the Administratum. Specially designated units of the Historical Revision Unit known as "Deletions Teams" carry out this function. Their most common duty is performing the vital task known as an Edict of Obliteration -- the deliberate destruction of any vital records or historical documents pertaining to an individual or organisation that has been declared Excommunicate Traitoris by the Emperor of Mankind, the High Lords of Terra or the Inquisition. The Historical Revision Unit's mission may now be threatened by the creation of the Logos Historica Verita by the resurrected primarch Roboute Guilliman in the Era Indomitus, who has once more taken up the roles of lord commander of the Imperium and Imperial Regent.Officio Medicae - The Officio Medicae is the primary arm of the Administratum that deals with public health and biomedical-related issues in the Imperium, operating government-run medical facilities throughout the galaxy and on many Imperial worlds. In addition, they seem to oversee the management and quarantine of worlds or groups afflicted by plagues, such as those created and spread by Nurgle, the Chaos God of disease and despair. Like much of the Administratum, it is plagued by bureaucracy and irrelevant procedure.Logis Strategos - The Logis Strategos is the primary intelligence-gathering and analysis agency of the Administratum. Its primary function is to analyze the myriad of threats to the Imperium presented by xenos and the forces of Chaos and devise suitable strategies to counteract them, which are then passed on to the Departmento Munitorum and the High Lords of Terra for action.Logos Historica Verita - The Logos Historica Verita is a small Imperial organisation dedicated to recovering a full and accurate accounting of the history of Mankind unmarred by religious superstition or political bias. It was created in the Era Indomitus of the 41st Millennium by Roboute Guilliman, the lord commander of the Imperium, Imperial Regent and primarch of the Ultramarines Chapter, some time after his resurrection in ca. 999.M41. It was the primarch's intent to make a full and accurate accounting of the Imperium of Man's fragmentary and often contradictory history, the truth of which would inevitably help Humanity's advancement out of the darkness that had befallen it in the millennia after the Horus Heresy. For this task, Guilliman utilised individuals of an inquisitive and more liberal nature, and after training them personally in objective methods of data collection, assigned them the daunting task of discovering, collating and cataloging thousands of standard years of Human history that had been lost or was woefully inaccurate due to superstition, suppression or purposeful obfuscation by the High Lords of Terra.Munitorum Strategic Intelligence Collective - The Munitorum Strategic Intelligence Collective is a secret arm of the Administratum that is composed of senior Ordo Xenos Inquisitors, Magos Biologis Genetors and other xenobiologists of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It is their primary mission to compile biological and logistical data on the Tyranids to determine their weaknesses and devise suitable counter-measures to future hive fleet invasions. These secretive reports are sent directly to the High Lords of Terra themselves. Their analysis of all the details of the Tyranid invasions suffered by the Imperium in the years before the Era Indomitus has seen them draw a startling conclusion as stark as it is terrifying: the hive fleets faced by the Imperium to date are but parts of a far greater whole, and this whole will be arriving at the Imperium's borders within less than a standard century. They estimate that Imperial mobilisation levels will need to be increased by a minimum of 500% -- which would effectively include every able-bodied man, woman and child on every world in Segmentums Solar, Obscurus and Tempestus -- to have even a hope of stopping this dire threat.Tithes Chamber Notaries, sub. Planetary Census (Abhumans) - The Tithes Chamber Notaries, sub. Planetary Census (Abhuman) is a sub-division of the Adeptus Administratum that oversees the classification and recognition of stable and sanctioned Abhuman strains within the Imperium. Of these, forty-six types are now listed as extinct, and no records have been received of a further twelve strains for over a generation, suggesting that they too have died out or been assimilated back into the general population of Mankind. The status of the remaining fifteen Abhuman sub-species is quite varied and there is permanent disagreement about their specific classification amongst the adepts of the Tithes Chamber Notaries. The most noteworthy and contentious matter currently concerning the adepts is the Ogryn (Homo sapiens gigantus) matrix of Abhuman strains.Divisio Auditae - Unique to the Administratum of the Calixis Sector is the Divisio Auditae, which oversees matters of significant interest to the Administratum from incorrect tithes to the adjudication of Warrants of Trade granted to Imperial merchants and Rogue Traders in the sector. The Divisio Auditae was established in the early 8th century of the 41st Millennium, created as one of the first acts of the Lord Calixis Marius Hax, and it reports directly to Hax himself and to its superiors in the Administratum.Quaestors - Known more commonly (but unofficially) as quaestors, these auditors of the Divisio Auditae are empowered to travel the Calixis Sector and demand access to all records of any planetary government or organisation they come across; only the most powerful of individuals can deny a quaestor's demands, though even these few exceptions try Sector Lord Hax's patience. Anything they discover that seems worthy of attention is reported, to be acted upon by other agents of Lord Hax or other Imperial agents as deemed appropriate. Under the command of Prefect Salassar Aoghan Annovestes, a minor functionary from Sephris Secundus elevated through the ranks of the Administratum, the ranks of the Divisio Auditae have swollen to include over 6,000 separate quaestors. Each possesses the freedom to move and investigate whatever and wherever they see fit, much to the consternation of the Inquisition, planetary governors, and Rogue Traders who see such freedom of remit for an official who is essentially a bureaucrat as dangerous and intrusive into matters better left in other hands.
