'''Imperial Titans''' are the colossal god-machines of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]'s [[Collegia Titanica]].
The Imperium's Titans are mechanical, humanoid-shaped war-machines; some Titan classes reaching up to a hundred feet in height. Their presence inspires nothing but terror - few enemies can stand against them - only another Titan can equal their power. Titans are powered by plasma generators, as nothing else can provide the vast amount of energy required. Energy fields known as void shields are the Imperial Titan's first line of defense. The shields can absorb incoming damage until becoming overloaded. A Titan's limbs move using electrically-motivated fibre bundles which act as synthetic muscles. ==CrewImperial Titan types==Each Titan is manned by Titans are divided into a crew consisting number of a single ''[[Princeps]]'' in command, assisted by ''[[Moderati]]'', Tactical Officer, Chief Engineer, an engineering crewtypes, depending on their size and [[Servitor]]sfunction.
