Cult of the Vaterrecht

Opening
The Cult of the Vaterrecht, one of the most important -if not the most important- institutions the Imperialis Maxis has. Those who have claimed to see the light of the God-Emperor's greatness, and have spoken to him directly are some of those who make up this fanatical organization.

The Goal of the Cult of the Vaterrecht
The Vaterrecht is entrusted by the Imperialis Maxis, and supposedly the God-Emperor himself, to lead the Nation. They are in charge of setting policies for all other sections of the government to follow. They give edicts to the Xeno-Kooperationsfront on how Xeno species should be dealt with. With the mission of finding ways to progress the Imperialis Maxis, they are often put in positions that they are not able to deal with. While they are supposedly the ones who are supposed to be communicating with the God-Emperor in his spiritual form, they often cite not being able to reach him in crucial times when he is needed.

Distrust
Due to the nature of their origins and subsequent unreliability, distrust from other Government Agencies is rampant. For this reason, it is often while their edicts and declarations are outright ignored by other agencies. This has often manifested itself into power struggles between the Vaterrecht and Reapers. The Reapers, being an organization that technically is not responsible for reporting to any other section of the government much like the Vaterrecht, has had multiple incidents between the two. One of the most famous being an incursion the Vaterrecht brought upon themselves by the Reapers. After the Vaterrecht attempted to put in place a law that would make it impossible for any Reaper to kill a member of either the Cardinal Minoris or Majoris, along with anyone bearing the symbol of the Vaterrecht. Such as the multiple assassination squads they wield, and Ministers.

This led to multiple members of the Reapers stopping in their pursuit of balance in the Imperialis Maxis -which coincidentally led to overpopulation on a massive scale on dozens of planets- and going forward to the Earth, on which the Vaterrecht was based. They then proceeded to massacre their way through any of the Vaterrecht assassination squads who tried to stop them, by placing Death Warrants on them before having entered the building. Once they reached the chambers of which the Vaterrecht held their congregations, they proceeded to reap half of the Leadership present. This event would later become known as, "The Reaping heard across the Empire". And is what led to a lot of other government agencies out right denying the Vaterrechts demands of them.
