Editing Arbites Judge (section)

==Overview==
Just one lick of paint-off from being sued by 2000 AD Comics; we ain't joking when we meant that they are shameless. I shit you not, even [[Lexicanum]] states that they are "Judge, jury and executioner". These carbon copycats' job is to enforce Imperial Law (Lex Imperialis) across the Imperial realm.

These guys huff and breathe the Book of Judgement so much, that they are able to memorise nearly every legal code and precedent in that book (And it is a ''big ass book'' mind you) with ease. Anyone who is found wanting would get promptly [[Blam|kissed the barrel's end]] of a [[Bolt Pistol]] if found guilty. Nevertheless, because of the role of the Arbites, Judges don't really give a shit for minor personal misdemeanours, leaving those matters in the hands of a Planetary Governor's [[Enforcer Security Force]] to handle. Rather, they concern themselves with the big shit, the ones that would be enough to call in an entire [[Witch Hunter|Ordo Hereticus]] [[Sisters of Battle|stike force]] to purge an [[Anal circumference|entire hive city's asshole.]]

Their authority extends to within the [[Adeptus Terra]] and they are free to execute both Planetary rulers and Adepts if they are shown to be committing transgressions. On most Imperial worlds, Judges usually reside within the Hall of Judgement of an Adeptus Arbites courthouse where they monitor both the population and the planetary government. Despite their infamous reputation and brutal nature, Judges are actually fairer than [[Inquisitor]]s and will often pass judgements based on law and fairness (And, when you compare them to the likes of [[Fyodor Karamazov|Inquisitor Crazy Pants-off]], they really are pretty fair if rigid, all things considered).

Due to their status and power, Judges can command their own forces of retribution, mini-armies consisting of the troops from the Adeptus Arbites spread throughout the galaxy and every vigilant to answer the call to justice. Often it is the Judges who find themselves fighting the first flames of rebellions while mobile [[Space Marine]] or [[Imperial Guard]] forces rush to support them.

In battle, Arbites wear [[Hydraphur Judge's Armour]]. This armour is broadly similar to normal Arbites [[Carapace Armour]], but incorporates theatrical and gaudy elements which show off the power and majesty of the Adeptus Arbites. They are typically equipped with standard Arbites weapons despite their high rank, such as [[Combat Shotgun]]s, [[Grenade Launcher]]s, [[Imperial Boltgun|Arbites Boltguns]] with Executioner rounds, as well as [[Arc Weaponry#Shock Maul|Shock Mauls]], [[Arc Weaponry#Shock Baton|Shock Batons]], [[Power Weapon#Power Maul|Power Mauls]] and a whole list of grenades including [[Grenades & Explosives#Frag Grenade|Frags]], [[Grenades & Explosives#Smoke Grenade|Smokes]] and [[Grenades & Explosives#Blind Grenade|Blind Grenades.]]
