View source for Imperium of the Pure

The '''Imperium of the Pure''' is a militant and religious empire rooted in human supremacy. Governed by the Purifiers, the Imperium believes the universe is destined for humans alone, and all xenos (non-human species) are abominations created by the Precursors to test humanity’s faith. Their doctrine mandates the extermination of xenos and heretics to ensure the purity and survival of humankind.

The Imperium spans much of its home galaxy, enforcing its ideology through a totalitarian regime. Communication with xenos, adoption of xeno technology, and the use of artificial intelligence are outlawed under penalty of death or exile.{{Organization

* '''Technology Doctrine:''' Precursor technology is sacred; xeno technology is destroyed.
* '''Artificial Intelligence:''' Forbidden as a violation of natural human purity.

* '''Inquisitors:''' Agents who root out heresy and dissent within the Imperium.

* '''The Exile Edicts:''' Laws mandating execution or exile for human heretics.
