Editing Setting:Navigator: The Masquerade (section)

== The Politics of the Navigators ==

The interactions of Navigators are characterized by their divisions into sects along bloodlines.

The largest overarching organization of navigators is the ''Navis Nobilite'', consisting of all navigators in good standing with the Imperium of Man.  Houses, of which there are hundreds if not thousands, are the most visible denomination to the larger Imperium.

The oldest and most powerful sect of navigators within the Navis Nobilite is the '''Camarilla'''.  Most of the great Magisterial houses hail from the Camarilla.  They see the navigator gift as a tool, one which makes them immensely valuable to the Imperium.  The Paternova has always been a member of the Camarilla since the end of the Reign of Blood.  

The '''Anarchs''' and '''Independents''' represent the downtrodden masses of the Navis Nobilite, resenting the Camarilla for their dominance and the rules of the masquerade.  The main distinction between the two is that the Anarchs are engaged in a concerted war against the Camarilla, where the Independents are largely content to do their own thing as long as they're left alone.  

If the Anarchs stand at the edge of the Imperium in terms of loyalty, the '''Sabbat''' are on the outside waving in.  They make no illusions about serving the Emperor or the Imperium of Man; they are out and out traitors who were partially responsible for the Horus Heresy.
