The Adeptus Arbitrators

"Demand?  The demands of the law come first even on Sulo" Marshall Andrukas of Sulo

The Arbitrators are drawn from the Schola Progenum. The imperial school for the orphaned children of loyal ministers and soldiers. Coming from such a background these children are incredibly loyal the The Empire. These children will stand as the next generation of Defenders of the Empire, and Defenders of the Faith. The Schola Progenum contributes graduates to the Adeptus Ministorum, the Imperial Guard, and the Adeptus Arbites. The Arbitrators have no home, except the Empire, and no parents except the Emperor himself. They enforce the Codex Legalis Imperius with unswerving dedication. Indeed "the demands of the law come first".

Once inducted into the Adeptus Arbites the Arbitrator is drilled in the law and trained to enforce the law at gunpoint if necessary. They will not hesitate in their duty. They are trained to the same standards as the Warriors of the Imperial Guard. Their Equipment is some of the best The Empire has to offer, and the Mission they perform is the single most hazardous of any required by the Emperor, with the possible exception of serving in the First Company of a Space Marine Legion. Those destined for greatness within the Adeptus Arbites are given gentic surgury and turned into the equivalent of Space Marines. These Arbitrators begin their carrers as SWAT troopers, and later serve as Detectives and Judges.

The Codex Legalis Imperius, or The Great Book of Judgement has been meticulously maintained and preserved by the Arbitrators over the Millenia, and as the will of the Emperor changes it is the Task of the Arbitrators to update this venerable tome. It is said that the Adeptus holds the keys to the Great Library of Earth, and that the original Codex lies within. It is also said that there are thousands upon thousands of leather bound tomes covered in the skins of criminals within the Library. Near to the Great Library is the Hall of Justice.

It is within this great Hall that the Lords of the Sect maintain their communion with the Emperor.
