Astynomia
The Astynomia are the Enforcer security force for the Adeptus Mechanicus[1a]. They recruit from members of the Mechanicus, who succeed in passing the Astynomia's selection examinations.[1d]
Description
They are also found on Imperial worlds that contain Mechanicus enclaves and the Astynomia have jurisdiction over crimes committed there. Should they be required to work with non-Mechanicus organizations, the Astynomia will use a liaison, which could be from the Collegiate Extremis[1b]. The Collegiate Extremis' normal duties, though, can lead to conflict with the Astynomia and there are long-standing suspicions between the two organizations[1c]. However, the Collegiate does recruit members of the Astynomia, who have excelled within its ranks.[1d]
