  • El Adeptus Mechanicus es el nombre oficial imperial en el Adeptus Terra para el Culto Mechanicus o el Culto a la Máquina. En tiempos antiguos, antes que la Era del imperio comenzara oficialmente tras el fin de la Herejía de Horus, era denominado a menudo simplemente como el Mechanicum. El Mechanicus reconoce al Emperador de la Humanidad como el líder del Imperio, pero no reconoce la verdad religiosa del Culto Imperial o la Eclesiarquía. En su lugar, el Mechanicus se rige por sus propios y oscuros manuscritos y rinden tributo a la deidad a la que llaman el Dios Máquina u Omnissiah. El Adeptus Mechanicus cree que el conocimiento es la verdadera manifestación de la divinidad en el universo, y que todas las criaturas y artefactos que encarnen el conocimiento son sagradas por ello. El Emperador es el objeto supremo de reverenciación para la humanidad, la encarnación viva del Dios Máquina o el Omnissiah, puesto que comprende y entiende mucho más sobre la verdadera naturaleza de la realidad que cualquier otro ser de la galaxia. El Adeptus Mechanicus considera que la carne es débil y considera sagrada la substitución de tejido biológico por partes biónicas y mecánicas. La mayoría de los tecnosacerdotes más longevos poseen ya pocas partes orgánicas en su cuerpo y poco a poco se vuelven más máquina que hombres. El Adeptus Mechanicus tiene su sede en Marte, el primer mundo forja del Imperio, y son los únicos gobernadores del Planeta Rojo. Proveen de tecnología y avances científicos al Imperio y poseen sus propios ejércitos de grandes Titanes, Electrosacerdotes, Legiones Skitarii y Servidores de combate. El Adeptus Mechanicus es a menudo conocido como el Sacerdocio de Marte. Mantiene el monopolio sobre el conocimiento tecnológico en el Imperio. Sus mundos forja fabrican el equipo y armamento más avanzado y poderoso del Imperio. Sus adeptos, los tecnosacerdotes, son vitales para mantener la mayor parte del equipo más avanzado tecnológicamente del Imperio, entre el que se encuentra incluso el soporte vital del Emperador, el Trono Dorado. Es el Adeptus Mechanicus quien controla el conocimiento técnico del Imperio, preserva los secretos científicos de antaño y quien explora las nuevas ciencias del cuadragésimo primer milenio.

In the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe, the Adeptus Mechanicus is an institution of the Imperium of Man dedicated to the preservation and restoration of science and technology. As an organisation it predates the Imperium itself. Though the Adeptus Mechanicus was formally integrated into the Imperium by the Treaty of Mars almost 10,000 years before the "present" of the 41st millennium, it retains an unparalleled degree of autonomy for an Imperial institution. Whereas nearly all the rest of the Imperium follows one of the various cults of the God-Emperor, the Adeptus Mechanicus is virtually synonymous with the Cult Mechanicus, another faith that could easily be considered heretical to the rest of the Imperium if the Adeptus was not so greatly needed for the survival of the Imperium and if the Techpriests have not proven their loyalty to the Emperor in countless ways. The Adeptus' is important because the Imperium, despite its technologically advanced state, has a very limited knowledge of how its technology functions. This has only reinforced the view that the building and use of advanced machinery is almost as a magical or religious act, fraught with ritual and inviolable instructions. The Adeptus Mechanicus, with its inherent understanding of the Machine Spirit and the Machine God, has a near-monopoly on Standard Template Construct (STC) designs and other technological knowledge, and consequently wields a large amount of power as the main supplier and repairer of everything from farming equipment to interstellar warships.

Mars was colonised early in human history, and developed separately from Terra in both cultural and technological lines. The arid surface of Mars was terraformed, and under a man made atmosphere the colony flourished. During the Golden (dark) Age of technology, the two empires of Terra(Earth) and Mars co-existed, to the mutual benefit of both. At the height of its splendour during the Golden Age, and even later in the anarchic Age of Strife, Mars dispatched hundreds of colony fleets into the void. Many perished in the terrible Warp Storms that engulfed the galaxy at that time, but others survived. Those who did founded new worlds in the name of the Machine God and built on them a likeness of the great factories and Temples of their distant homeworld. The Age of Strife brought an end to the glory and peace of the human domains. Across the galaxy mankind suddenly turned upon itself as a new breed of warp attuned humans emerged. Civil war engulfed thousands of human worlds, even the twin Empires of Terra and Mars. On Mars many warring factions vied for power, and a brutal war was waged using arcane and unimaginably destructive weaponry. The carefully constructed atmosphere was burned away, and once more the surface was exposed to the deadly radiations of the Sun. The terraformed environment, which had teemed with life, was rendered barren again. The combatants now fought in the same red hued wastelands that the first colonists had found. Much of the population retreated underground, as any who were not equipped with a radiation suit could not long survive on the surface. The Adeptus Mechanicus has not always proven itself 100% loyal to the Imperium. During the Horus Heresy many Adeptus Mechanicus units declared for the Warmaster Horus and fought against those still loyal to the Emperor. The Fabricator General himself sided with the Warmaster but his deputy remained loyal. Horus swayed the Fabricator with STC from the planet of Drakonis Three Eleven promising much in return for his allegiance. [edit] The Cult Mechanicus The Cult Mechanicus believes knowledge to be the manifestation of divinity, and holds that anything embodying or containing knowledge is holy because of it. The supreme object of devotion is therefore the omniscient Machine God (also known as the Deus Mechanicus or Omnissiah), an immanent and omnipotent spirit governing machinery and knowledge. Generally, this deity is held to be either subordinate to or an aspect of the God-Emperor (or, most commonly within the Cult itself, both are held to be aspects or faces of the same being), although there is a small and secret splinter sect known as the Cult of the Dragon which worships the C'tan known as the Dragon as the Omnissiah instead. The Omnissiah is believed to be friendly to humanity, and to be the originator of all human technological and scientific knowledge. Subservient to the Omnissiah are the Machine Spirits, who are believed to inhabit all machinery and which must be appeased, lest the machinery fail. Belief in machine spirits cause the Adeptus and others they instruct to make frequent prayers, offerings and so on to their machinery and show it inordinate amounts of respect, an approach similar to that of the Scientism religion in Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. Some believe that these actions, in turn, cause the machines to break less often since they are not mistreated and damaged with careless use, creating a self reinforcing system. However, with the ability for Techpriests to repaire tanks mid-battle with more prayers/rites than actual mechanical application, it seems that divine intervention plays an important role. The ritualized process and the worshipping of the machines leads to slower production as every bit of equipment must be inspected and "purified" to Imperial standards. Research is also slowed to an almost nonexistent rate, because much of the old technology is lost and a complete STC unit has not yet been discovered. Another downfall of this is many blueprints for older technology (the Dreadnought, for example) are lost. The ultimate goal of the Cult Mechanicus is to understand the Omnissiah. The communal and personal attempt at this is known as the Quest for Knowledge, and followers view this endeavour as paramount and more important than any other concern. Generally, the Quest is pursued by scientific and exploratory endeavour. The Cult believes that all knowledge already exists, and it is primarily a matter of time before it can be gathered together to complete the Quest. It is therefore disinclined to perform much original research, and considers it more important to safeguard that which it has already accrued and gather more by searching for STC templates and the like. Some original research does happen, although the results of such endeavours are strictly quarantined for many years before being disseminated publicly. In the Quest for Knowledge, members are guided by the Sixteen Universal Laws. According to Gavin Thorpe, a prominent member of the Games Workshop design studio, the sixteen laws, or "lores" are as follows:
