Editing Motroit Enforcers (section)

== Background ==
Surviving Old Night relatively intact, Motroit willingly joined the Imperium without the need for invasion.  A company of [[Steel Marshals]] made a ''pro forma'' occupation of the world in 894.M30, treating with its government with their famed even-handedness.  A minor sticking-point was the assessment of a military tithe to the [[Great Crusade (Hektor Heresy)|Great Crusade]].  The administrators of Motroit argued that they could not make such demands on individual citizens, and they doubted that an honest call for volunteers could attract sufficient recruits.  The Marshals were resolute.  Motroit must fulfil its tithe obligations within one year or be considered in revolt.

Rather than plotting an ill-fated resistance, the administrators of Motroit seized upon their world's misfortune as a resource.  Every year, hundreds of thousands were crippled by disease or injury.  The hiveworld's advanced cybernetic technology could rebuild their broken bodies, but few could afford the treatment.  Therefore, to meet the world's tithe obligations, the government determined to give those whose lives would be entirely ruined the chance of a second life, in service to their planet.
