Colchite is a Xenos psycho-cerebral motivation device that seemingly created by the Stryxis though some claim it is in fact scavenged or stolen technology. These implants are placed within the cerebellum and allows the user to control the mind of a modified Servitor utilising the same device within their bodies. The mental link allows the user to control the simple mind of a Servitor to such an extent that they can turn the normally crude constructs into virtual extensions of the implanted individual.[1a] Their presence on an individual is only noticeable by the small scar they leave at the base of the skull. A curious side effect of Colchite implantation is that in extremely rare cases a xenotech equipped Servitor can rum amok when in the presence of a member of the Eldar race.[1b]

The technology is accessible to Humans in the Imperium and the Koronus Expanse through the Cold Trade. Despite the fact that Imperial Decree prohibits the use of xeno devices, many in fact breach this edict or even openly make use of them. The only race that produces these implants are the Stryxis who's uncertain nature means that their price for trading a Colchite device can vary with the price never being simple Thrones.[1a] Though they provide the devices, they never implant them with such task being left to a Chirurgeon or others with the necessary medicae knowledge.[1b]
