The history of Massalia revealed an important truth: it is not enough to be pure in oneself. True faith requires a commitment to fighting laxity and corruption wherever it dwells.

- Inquisitor Mikops Duvarl, Observations on the history of the Machine Cult.

Massalia was an outpost of the Mechanicum located in the Ultima Segmentum. The humble adepts of this world styled themselves as the Children of the Machine and sought to keep themselves free from the corrupting influences of the flesh world. Their guardians followed a much more relaxed code and investigated all manner of technology (human and xenos alike), a habit which made them well-suited to a pact with the Eternal Zealots. During the Heresy, Aubrey The Grey corrupted the guardians of Massalia and slaughtered the Children of the Machine as an example of the impotence of other deities in the face of the Chaos Gods.
