(woulden't post for whatever reason) The Cult of Vulcan, like many things in the Empire, is not united it is split into many different factions and groups within itself. Divided by ideas, concepts, and beliefs that war with one each other, but this is not bad. Far from it. This difference in ideas is embraced by the cult and sees as a sign of true sentience and knowledge. It is because of this belief that the Cult remains divided and united at the same time united by core beliefs and divided by vague concepts and ideas.

The Cult is divided into three five factions they being the Cultus Genus, Cultus Umbra, Cultus Technus, Cultus Impetum and the Cultus Luminus. Each of these Cults elect from within their ranks a leader known as a Pentarch. The 5 Pentarchs make up a council that is the leadership of the cult.

Now for the five factions themselves:

- Cultus Genus is a cult dedicated to gathering biological and genetic information for chronicling and for things like finding cures to diseases, breeding out recessive genes, and other such 'good' work. They are also advance doctors with many being in the ranks of the finest hospitals in the Empire. Their colors are white and red.

- Cultus Umbra is the darker side of the Cult of Vulcan they do the dirty work others will not like the creation of Flagellations (Later post) and the creation of new species and war beast. They take this task as a necessary evil for the betterment of the Cult and the collection of more knowledge. Their colors are black and white.

- Cultus Technus is dedicated to the technological side of the Cult and has more cyberneticly enhanced individuals in it's ranks and the largest thrall of servitors. They are constantly expanding the tech barrier and finding and creating new inventions. Their colors are orange and black.

- Cultus Impetum is a rash and head strong side of the cult dedicated to finishing the 'Great Mission' as fast as possible. To do this they have become the military and exploration branch of the cult. They have also become guards of the cult (as a set back would delay the Great Mission) and provide, as a tithe, legions of troops to the Imperial Army. Their colors are red and red alone

- Cultus Lumius is the opposite of Cultus Umbra and is the lighter side of the cult. They do not have a specific mission instead they serve as both administrators to make sure the cult runs effectively and as judges to solve any disputes between the cults. Their colors are white and white alone.
