Adeptus Astra Telepathica

The Adeptus Astra Telepathica is an organization of the Imperium of Man that has responsibility for managing psykers emerging among humanity.

The Adeptus has offices on every Imperial world. Their agents seek out emergent psykers and take them into custody. These psykers are transported to Earth for processing. Possible outcomes for these psykers include:

• Psykers with strong abilities and excellent control over them can receive further training and possibly be recruited into the military or the Inquisition.
• Psykers with less control may be sent for a "soul-binding" ritual to turn them into Astro-Telepaths.
• Strong psykers with little control may be sent to help maintain the Astronomicon.
• Psykers with minor powers and little control will be sent to the Golden Throne to be consumed by the Emperor to keep him alive and maintain his powers.
