	Though a weapon in hand is essential for surviving in the Dark Millennium, the work of the Holy Ordos is not to win wars. That falls to the Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy, as well as the many other military arms of the Imperium. No, while servants of the Inquisition often fight horrors in the shadows of the Imperium, their singular and unenviable task is to ''understand'' those horrors — to investigate them and develop the methods by which they may be opposed or defeated. Worse, not all foes can fall to conventional weaponry — some are better defeated with wit then a blade.

	This specialism represents a fundamental understanding about the Dark Mechanicus — those former Priests of the Machine Cult who turned to Chaos during the Horus Heresy — as well as more recently fallen Chaos-aligned Hereteks, whether or not they claim heritage from the older group. It also covers the sinister binding of Daemons and warp energy into mechanical forms known as Daemon Engines. This specialism includes, but is not limited to: the known Chaos-aligned cabals of Hereteks in the Prosperitas Sector, Daemon Engines and how they are created, Traitor Titans and Knights, and Scrapcode , the corrupted Warp-code that is used both to communicate between Hereteks and to infect Imperial machinery. Most importantly, a Tech Priest could potentially use this knowledge to work out how to destroy such foul technology, and an Info-Executioner or Ordo Logi Tech Priest might have a reasonable chance of penetrating a Heretek cogitator system, at considerable spiritual risk.

This specialism includes, but is not limited to: the scientific and esoteric methods of detecting Warp mutants, psykers and divergent mutations from the sacred Terran form of humanity; the signs of the use of warp powers and the known gifts of the Dark Gods; and methods for the capture, killing and containment of such beings.
