Description
The Orders Metallic, also referred to as the Inquisition, is a secret organization that is outside of the standard hierarchy of the Imperium of Man.

The Orders Metallic acts as the secret police force of the Imperium, hunting down any of the myriad threats to the stability of the Emperor’s realm. These threats range from the corruption caused by the forces of Chaos, mutants, and rebels to assaults from vicious alien species like the Orks or Drukhari.

Origins

It was Malcador the Sigillite, the Regent of Terra, who first created the secret organization that would later become the Orders Metallic when the Great Crusades ended on the orders of the Emperor.

The Master of Mankind had ordered the Sigillite to find a group of men and women of an “inquisitive nature” to search out the enemies of the Imperium, whether they lay within or without.

The Orders Metallic pays homage to him by deriving their infamous sigil from his personal heraldry.

Organization

The Orders Metallic is divided broadly into four principal orders, or “Ordos Majoris” in High Gothic, and many minor ones, or “Ordos Minoris,” each dedicated to confronting a specific threat to the continued survival of the Imperium and Humanity.

The Inquisitors of the Silver Order and their Chamber Militant, the Space Marines of the Silver Knights, seek to defeat the forces of Chaos and the other threats from beyond wherever they assault Imperial space.

The Steel Order and its Chamber Militant, the Astartes of the Deathwatch, protect the Imperium from alien threats outside its borders.

The Gold Order working with the Talons of the Emperor seeks to combat all the Human threats to the Imperium.

While the mysterious Mercury Order concerns itself with protecting the timeline from paradoxes with an army of Meanwhiles and Never-Weres.

Below the orders are the conclaves, groups of inquisitors overseeing a sector or region. Conclaves based on the Saturnyne Moon of Enceladus are the most influential. Conclaves are made of multiple inquisitorial cells, which are made of several retinues of individual inquisitors.
