"Heresy cannot be tolerated, neither can the heretic, pagan, and most importantly the witch! Every last witch must burn on a pyre tonight for this colony to be cleansed!"

- Unknown Venator confronting the colony of Leto XV1, a village plagued with witches.

The Ordo Maleficus is a order within the Rin government devoted to rooting out witches mainly but also other forms of heresy. They are a Ordo of the Inquisition that is also co-owned by the Ecclestum as well. They are devoted to hunting down witches where ever they thrive.

A Witch is a non-commisioned Exponentia or one deemed to dangerous to live. Most are low lives that abuse their powers for personal gain others are rouge aliens gone mad by their transformation. No matter who or what they are a shift bullet is what they are getting.

Witches are hunted down by the Venators (Pretty much inquisitorial hit squads) who roam the galaxy looking for heresy everywhere. They are the bane of heresy and pagans within the Empire. No one who enters the empire a heretic ever leaves.

Although being mainly a part of the Inquisition they are also part of the Ecclestum and serve as traveling priest when not hunting down witches. Most recieve the rank of 'Confessor' and have both political and civil power (Limited by the Justice Miniters though, who keep a close eye on them.)
