abstract | - To the Radical Recongregators, the Imperium of Man is a waning, decaying thing, riddled with corruption, and many of its galaxy-spanning organisations are rotten to the core. Inquisitors of this faction believe that for the Imperium to return to its former glory, the shackles of the present must be broken apart. Once they lie in pieces, the Imperium can be forged anew, stronger and purer than ever before. Although wary of causing too much unnecessary destruction, the Recongregators' methods have led to them sponsoring uprisings, stirring up civil unrest, sowing anarchy, causing riots, and advocating political upheaval wherever they go. Although preferring to remain anonymous and manipulate events from the shadows, the Recongregators are not above extreme action and involve themselves in covert operations should the necessity arise. They do this in order to purge the Imperium of its weakness and propagate strong regrowth, though others within the Inquisition see them as nothing more than iconoclasts and anarchists. Recongregators rarely announce their factional leanings openly, preferring instead to work in secret in order to bring about the effect they desire. Should a world be threatened with alien invasion, for example, and an Inquisitor of the Recongregators faction judge the incumbent planetary administration too weak to resist it, he may provide aid to a strong rival, and so foster rebellion with the ultimate goal that the strong should be allowed to prosper while the weak should be left to their fate. Some Recongregators go beyond even these drastic methods and openly work against the established institutions of the Imperium. Such individuals see weakness, and therefore heresy, everywhere they look. They come to resent much that Humanity has raised up, cleaving instead to the notion that the Emperor never intended much of what has been done in His name. These Radicals see corrupt divisions of the Adeptus Terra as every bit as dangerous to Mankind as, for example, an invading alien species. Where able to do so, they treat both with equal ruthlessness, mobilising any and every weapon available to purge the unfit. Recongregators are often found in the ranks of the Ordo Hereticus, though rather than seeking to unmask and destroy underground rebel and cult leaders, these Inquisitors actively aid these individuals for their own ends. They work to depose corrupt or conservative figures and replace them with those dynamic and open-minded leaders capable of departing from the status quo. Obviously, this is in direct conflict with the Amalathian faction of the Inquisition, which considers some Recongregators no better than Renegade demagogues. Unbeknownst to those incumbent upon their thrones, many a dynasty has been upheld by an Amalathian whilst a Recongregator works to tear it down.
