The Numericon is the statistics arm of the Empire and it's bureaucracy. It is also the record keeping arm of the Empire with it directly owning both the public and imperial libraries and some rumors say they have entire secret libraries full of the supposedly 'lost history' and forbidden history.

The Numericon itself is split into many different 'arms' with each having a specific function or being a arm of the Numericon within the other Adeptas. Each Arm is lead by a 'chancellor' who is formally is answerable only to the Lord of the Numericon and the head of the Adepta they work within. The major arms are as follows:

- The Atrium deals with the record keeping, data gathering, and recording needs of the Vigilistum and it's installations. The staff of the Atrium are stationed across the Empire writing down court transaction, gathering information of criminals, keeping up to date (or as best as they can) prison records, and many other roles.

- The Annales deals with straight up record keeping for all of the Empire which they keep in massive data towers, catacombs, and libraries for various purposes. They also run the servers that keep most of this information and has members trained to search through these servers as fast as possible to find the necessary information for their fellow Numericon workers within the Adeptas.

- The Conscribo deals with military records and things like drafts and enlistment records. They also keep track of payments, materials, and logistics for the military at large.

- The Tributum records tithe amounts and the necessary payments later on for each and every planet of the Empire as well as marking if a planet is due or not for a tithe or has dared to skip payments to the State. They tend to have collection officers following the mighty tithe fleets to properly record everything that has been handed over to the state and to see if this was the listed amount (although extra is always good)

- The Speculor is a massive series of spy rings, informants, and other individuals who work directly for the state and generally the Vigilistum. The Numericon has taken it upon itself to not only record the notes and information of these individuals, but to directly monitor and train said individuals.

- The Censors deal with removing heretical or slanderous (slanderous against the Empire) language from the Empire at large, publicly. Out of the public eye the Censors make hit lists of individuals who need to be silenced for the good of the state and send these list to the assassins of the Emperor.

The Numericon itself directly owns the 'learning centers' of the Empire providing it's records and the workers who keep the institutions running. The Numericon is also one of the largest buyers of slaves and proles within the Empire as it's massive hoard of clerks is every growing like the Empire itself.

Within the ranks of the Numericon are many billions of clerks, scribes, and many others with the lowest workers being a simple clerk in a records office to the 'Lords of Records' who have massive villas and generally collections of their own on the paradise worlds.
