GENERAL INFORMATION

• Unit Name: Venatores of the Ordo Reliquarium (official); Seekers, Hunters (common)
• Affiliation: Inquisitorius, Sith Empire/Sith Order
• Classification: Elite Infantry, Recon, Special Ops
• Description: The Venatores (commonly known as Seekers or Hunters of the Inquisition) are an elite unit of specialists, comprising force-sensitives, detached squads from the Legion, and even 'civilian' experts. In the field, during retrieval operations, they all wear a specialised form of Sith-Imperial Legionnaire Armor in colours similar to but distinct to the Inquisition's 67th Legion, with small markings indicative of their ties to the Null Legion. Their purpose is to track, capture, study and exploit Force anomalies, living or otherwise, in order to prevent such unknowns from falling into the hands of the enemies of the Sith and to put such anomalies to use for the Inquisitorius' goals.

    • Talon Class Atmosphere Gunship (Minor)
    • Vindican-Class Troop Transport (Minor)
• Combat Function: The Seekers act quickly and precisely, moving in to secure dangerous Force anomalies, living or otherwise, by force if necessary, and bring them into the possession of the Inquisitorius. While trained for their specialised role, Seekers can and do expect losses and are willing and able to continue carrying out their missions regardless of losses.
• Force Abilities (Force User Units Only): Acolytes and Inquisitors assigned to lead Seeker Task Forces have their existing powers. Most Seeker commanders have some level of training in basic Force skills such as (speed, sight, enhancement, detection etc.)

Strengths:

• Secure, Contain, Protect: The Venatores have specialised knowledge and are specially trained to counter manifestations of the Force and to capture or neutralise them at any cost. This includes Force users, artifacts, anomalies etc. What would normally be a danger terrifying an entire star system is a one-day mission for a coordinated group of a dozen Seekers.
• Mobile Task Force: Light and mobile, groups of Seekers can inter-operate with little friction with other detachments, and be deployed with little logistical baggage or lag time to assist Inquisitors in emergencies and the retrieval process.

Weaknesses:

• Not for everyone: Specialist training and numbers mean every loss is felt keenly
• Not for everything: Not meant for open direct combat against a military force. The Seekers use military training and military force but their mission parameters differ hugely from conventional warfare

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Tsis'Kal Lorekeeker Union's desire to expand their knowledge, influence and contacts intersected with the Inquisition's need for specialists capable of retrieving artifacts, securing locations and capturing unusual beings that might pose a threat to the Sith or could be turned to serve the Sith. Together, leaders of both groups came to an agreement. The Union's Null Legion would provide its knowledge of the arcane to assist the Inquisition in training specialist task forces to carry out that mission, and in return the Union would be given access to the information and artifacts for study. This resulted in the formation of the Ordo Reliquarium; a specialised order of experts and soliders under the supervision of the Inquisitorius who aim to capture, study and make use of artifacts across the Galaxy while preventing the artifacts from being used in a destabilising manner. While the Venatores ultimately answer to the Inquisition, they maintain strong ties with their trainers in the Null Legion.

There is a lot of good work that has gone into this submission... you are using a lot of Sith Empire tech in the sub, and while you link to a page that suggests they are a subfaction of the Sith Empire, I do not see you have listed it among the affiliations. I will need you to link to the Sith Empire as well.

Thanks!

Done! Also linked to Sith Empire/Order faction page and fixed a type (tained to trained in the image) and elaborated on the weakness "Not for Everything"
