===Medical camps===

His most famous creation are the so-called "medical camps". Although they were formally merely temporary internment camps for the mutants and beastmen, their true function was far more sinister. In these camps, the mutants were extensively studied and experimented on to reveal the sources of their mutation. Sachs didn't pull any punches on conducting cruel or dangerous experiments on the inmates if he saw that necessary. Some even say he derived sadistic pleasure from torturing mutants and tortured many of them to death in his laboratory purely for his perverted satisfaction, although this would be at odds with the Genewright's razor-sharp rational mindset. Once the source was identified, the camp personnel set about weeding the mutations out, either by cruel eugenic programs that were not unlike cattle breeding and often required the parents to copulate with their own offspring, or by direct medical intervention, extremely painful and with a low survival rate. But even these two options were preferable to the the dreaded third one. In those cases where the mutation was deemed too entrenched in the genome to be removed, all of the bearers of this mutation were mercilessly exterminated. The inhuman cruelty and barbarity of these camps, so unbefitting of the state that touted itself as the beacon of civilisation, drew wide criticism from many prominent Imperial leaders, but the Emperor himself decided to turn a blind eye to it. Sachs saw this as his liege's silent approval and began setting up medical camps on those worlds taken during the Great Crusade where the mutant population was most prominent. The human race became much more homogeneous thanks to his efforts, but at a dreadful price.
