Editing Navigator (section)

==Elutrian Confederacy==
There are those within the Navis Nobilite ''(at least within the [[Dark Heresy|Calixis Sector]] and its neighbouring regions)'' who believe that the Navigator gene is key to the future of mankind and that they are the [[Emperor]]'s Chosen guides. Certainly space travel would be impossible without them, and of all the various human offshoots or factions of humanity, only Navigators can truly claim an understanding of the perils of the Warp, having seen it first hand. The philosophy grew out of '''House Typhon''' after its Novator delved into forbidden lore and came to the conclusion that psykers were a dangerous detour from the true course of human evolution. This belief spread to other Navigator Houses to form a faction that transcended the politics of individual houses.

In particular, the '''Elutrian Confederacy''' view psykers as a threat to the future that they believe Navigators are supposed to represent. If there was ever a case to be made that Navigators were not psykers then this would be it: Psykers course and surge with the power of the warp, which Navigators cannot master but can see for themselves. Though the outlook of any particular Elutrian Devotee can vary from Navigator to Navigator, at best they see psykers as fools who would attempt to master the ineffable; at worst they see them as catastrophes waiting to happen.

The Elutrians have developed special techniques to allow them to deal with the threat of psykers and are able to turn those who wield the power of the warp against themselves, burning them out and inhibiting their use of psychic powers for a short while. These powers even work on denizens of the warp, and the Elutrian masters were said to be able to turn a [[Daemon]] with a mere glance, which was taken as proof of the purity of the Elutrian doctrine. The most fanatical of their number use these powers against psykers -whether Sanctioned or not- as a means to further their objectives.

Sufficed to say the [[Inquisition]] was not particularly happy about that notion of Navigators stepping out of their station, or engaging in self-appointed "Witch Hunts", and has them on their [[Blam|hit lists]]. The official stance from the Paternova is one of condemnation and House Typhon was declared renegade; but the Elutrian doctrines remain scattered throughout the Navis Nobilite.
