Editing The Imperium of Man (section)

===Other organizations===
* [[Administratum]] - The pencil pushers of the Imperium, complete with bureaucrats so devoted to their trade that they treat it like a religion, and massive inefficiency due to the sheer difficulty of running a galaxy-spanning empire. They regulate the [[Imperial Guard]] and the [[Imperial Navy]], dictate and assess the Tithes all worlds in the Imperium are required to pay to Holy Terra, and administer how those things get used. Their archives are so big and so full that if you search anything in them, you'll die wrapped in endless layers of red tape if you're not accompanied by an Adept. Grimdark.
* [[Ecclesiarchy]] - The Imperial Church which works with the Inquisition to regulate the worship of the Emperor and define what counts as '''HERESY'''. Basically priests with flamethrowers and mega-chainsaws. It also oversees the Sisters of Battle and the [[Schola Progenium]], and works closely with the [[Ordo Hereticus]]. Often has a complicated relationship with the other members branches of the Imperium (Space Marines insisting that the Emperor was a human, the Administratum for overall control of the Imperium, the Adeptus Mechanicus worshiping a deity that ''should'' be the Emprah or not, etc.). Grimdark.
* [[Adeptus Astra Telepathica]] - The organization charged with maintaining the Imperium's vast network of [[psyker|psykers]], who are necessary for faster than light travel and keeping the Emperor alive on the Golden Throne. Their members are oftentimes forcibly conscripted children who have just barely survived being lynched on their homeworld, and were lucky enough not to be mulched into Emperor Food or Astronomicon fuel. Even so, the process to become a sanctioned psyker is physically and emotionally scaring, and can still lead to a grizzly death via headsplosion, possession, or just losing complete control of your sanity. Grimdark.
* [[Astronomican|Adeptus Astronomican]] - The organization charged with maintaining the light of the Astronomican, the psychic beacon for traveling through the [[Warp]]. Sacrifices assloads of psykers every day to keep the Astronomican running and literally the only thing keeping the entire Imperium from winking out like a candle. Grimdark.
* [[Imperial Knight]]s - The Imperial Knights are the lords of feudalistic worlds where the rulers and the military forces are one and the same, piloting massive combat mecha into battle to defend their worlds or to aid the Imperium. Usually have strong ties to the Adeptus Mechanicus. Grimdark.
* [[Squat]]s - A [[Dwarf|dwarfish]] race of technologically advanced [[abhuman]]s descended from mining colonists on high gravity planets, their worlds were the only other independent Imperial worlds besides Admech's forge worlds prior to integration into the Imperium from the Tyranids war. Their forces complemented that of the Adeptus Mechanicus' and the [[Imperial Guard]], with a tendency towards [[Colossus War Machine|giant-sized]] [[Land Train|war]] [[Goliath Mega-Cannon|machines]]. Their populations are now greatly diminished due to various reasons. Grimdark.
