The Inquisition exists to guard the Imperium against the enemies within and without, threats so grave that the common populace must never learn of their nature. An Inquisitor bears the Inquisitorial Rosette, a symbol of authority so absolute that few dare defy it. With a word they may requisition an army, execute a lord, or purge an entire population.
The order is fractured into great Ordos, each charged with a particular menace. The Ordo Malleus stands vigil against the daemon, the Ordo Hereticus against the traitor and the witch, and the Ordo Xenos against the alien. Beneath and beside them lie countless secret cabals pursuing their own hidden mandates.
Yet the Inquisition is no monolith. Its members are riven by philosophy, from the uncompromising Puritans who would sooner die than wield the enemy's weapons, to the Radicals who believe damnation itself may be turned against the darkness. This eternal disagreement makes the Inquisition as dangerous to itself as to its foes, yet somehow it endures, ever watching, ever ready to burn away corruption wherever it takes root.
Order of battle
The The Inquisition field the units of the Imperial Agents, a detachment from the roster:
Other Imperial Agents formations
Adeptus ArbitesThe Imperium's iron-handed galactic lawmen, judge, jury and executioner in a single armoured figure, upholding the Lex Imperialis across ten thousand worlds.
Imperial NavyThe vast star-fleets of the Navis Imperialis, kilometres-long warships that rule the void, escort the Emperor's armies and bind the Imperium's worlds together.
Officio AssassinorumThe Officio Assassinorum is the Imperium's institution of sanctioned murder, maintaining secret Temples where killers are forged into living weapons. Each Temple perfects a distinct lethal art: the impossible sniper shot, the perfect infiltration, the berserk slaughter, the anti-psychic horror. When the highest powers of the Imperium require a target erased, they turn to these silent executioners, whose marks almost never survive.
Rogue TradersPrivateer-explorers bearing the ancient Warrant of Trade, licensed to trade, conquer and treat with aliens beyond the Imperium's edge in the Emperor's name.
Sisters of SilenceThe Sisters of Silence are an ancient order of soulless women, warriors whose very presence is poison to psykers and daemons alike. Born as Untouchables, they render their oaths without a single word, wielding flame and blade alongside an aura of null that smothers sorcery. They serve as jailers and executioners of the Imperium's most dangerous witches, and their arrival heralds the hunt for a psyker of terrible power.
