	The '''Librarius''' of the Knights Inductor serves much the same purpose as that of any other chapter, but is altered in response to the incompatibility of their [[gene-seed]] with the [[psyker]] mutation. Because the Knights Inductor need astropaths and psychic interrogators, they still train psykers to be [[Librarian]]s, but equip them with Trooper or regular Power armor, as they lack the Black Carapace to interface with the more advanced MkI Damocles. Fortunately, the Knights' gene-seed proved to enhance the strength of a Blank's psychic-nullifying field, and so the Knights were able to deploy psychic warriors in full Powered and Terminator armor, calling them Silencers.

	The '''Nullarium''', which over many decades of trial and error, developed implants and training methods that allowed a Blank to wield his null-field with as much control as any other weapon; though attrition and losses were high in the early days of the Silencer program, and Blanks are difficult to obtain, the Librarius now has ~~a full two and a half~~ dozen Silencers of varying potency, all anti-psychic warriors of devastating power.		The '''Nullarium''', which over many decades of trial and error, developed implants and training methods that allowed a Blank to wield his null-field with as much control as any other weapon; though attrition and losses were high in the early days of the Silencer program, and Blanks are difficult to obtain, the Librarius now has nearly three dozen Silencers of varying potency, all anti-psychic warriors of devastating power.

	;Silencer Level Alpha, Rachnus Pacifus: Head of the Nullarium. While he technically is the head of the Silencer program as the most experienced and potent of Silencers in the Knights Inductor, his extreme Null Aura keeps him from much of his leadership duties. These have been passed on and taken over in part by the Silencer Deltas beneath him. It's not that he cannot control his Aura, he by far has the most experience being able to shape his Aura into a veritable mind razor as an extension of his own anti-soul; it is the sheer magnitude of it that even he cannot dampen it noticeably. It is speculated that his Blank potency would rival that of their near mythical Primarch, Rachnus Rageous, as his shadow engulfs his being far more than what a normal Blank's would be. Rachnus himself believes that the secret to controlling his Aura lies with his Primarch of the same name who is rumored to still be alive, journeying through Chaos in the Eye of Terror for over 10,000 years.		;Silencer Level Alpha, Rachnus Pacifus: Head of the Nullarium.

She leads a team that develops new concepts for weapons and armor.

This view is partially shaped by the fact that two of her relatives were killed by malfunctioning plasma weaponry.		;Artisan Zora: A relatively high-ranking tech-priestess in the Aprior Sector, stationed at the Primary Workshop on Aprior Quartus Alpha (probably the closest thing the Apriori have to a true Forge World).

His burning drive is to devise a method to safely free masses of Tau from Ethereal control, and he feels that he is on the cusp of an answer, if he could only remember what it was that the Ethereals forced him to forget.

	;Cerberus Rapid Response Vehicle: A wheeled variant of the [[Chimera \| Chimera Armoured Transport]] employed by the Aprior Sector Armed Forces. It is slightly less capable of negotiating broken terrain than its parent vehicle, but it is much more mobile in urban and open environments, and its wheels require significantly less maintenance than heavy tracks. Unarmed Cerberus vehicles are often used by planetary governments and other non-military organizations as ambulances, firetrucks, and cargo carriers.		;Cerberus Rapid Response Vehicle: A wheeled variant of the [[Chimera Transport\| Chimera Armoured Transport]] employed by the Aprior Sector Armed Forces.

	;Fenris Battle Tank: The Adeptus Mechanicus guilds working in the Aprior Sector keep track of every maintenance report generated when their products are brought in for repair. That way, they can identify patterns of problems and improve future production runs. One of the workshops contracted to build [[Leman Russ Battle Tank \| Leman Russ Battle Tanks]] for the sector's [[Imperial Guard \| Imperial Guard regiment]]s, Staalus Armorworks, found themselves needing to make too many compromises when they tried to modify the Russ in response to post-battle reports, and decided to make a bold gamble. They spent years testing designs and retooling their production lines to create a novel battle tank that addressed every identified shortcoming. The result was the Fenris Battle Tank, a lower, sleeker vehicle that resembled a miniature [[Baneblade]] with some features of the [[Predator Tank]]. It was a marvel of engineering, superior to the Russ in almost every respect, but it was also more expensive to produce, required a much longer training program for crews to master it completely, and only shared a few common components with the Russ. For ease of maintenance and interoperability with other Imperial Guard regiments, the Apriori regiments stuck with the dependable Leman Russ. Staalus had not lost all of their Leman Russ production lines, and thus retained some of its contracts, but their gamble cost them a great deal of Russ production capacity, which forced them to surrender many of their contracts to other workshops. As for the Fenris, only Staalus's own Skitarii and their world's PDF chose to use it; the production lines lie cold and the majority of Fenrises produced wait in storage.		;Fenris Battle Tank: The Adeptus Mechanicus guilds working in the Aprior Sector keep track of every maintenance report generated when their products are brought in for repair.

	The Aprior Sector is the home of the [[Knights Inductor]], among others.

	The Aprior Sector (named for its most powerful subsector, itself named for its most powerful [and first settled] star system) is deep in the Eastern Fringe, where the Astronomican's light pushes out against the intergalactic calm in the Warp, creating massive Warp turbulence. Sometime in M31, the colony ship "Icarus" was sent out to probe the furthest reaches of the galaxy. As their warp drive was of an early generation, the turbulence was too great for them to continue, so they were forced to make an unplanned Realspace transition, which left the ship damaged and unable to continue, so they made an emergency landing on the third planet of the star Aprior. The Icarus was built to run lean, in order to give it the range to reach the edge of the galaxy, and so the emergency strained its resources to their limits, which resulted in the colony fragmenting, falling into civil war; the violence faded with time, especially as the colonists fell into an uneasy truce in the face of the threats of the Fringe, but the divisions remained, and the colonists were never able to unite.
