Adeptus Arbites
The Adeptus Arbites are the defenders of the Lex Imperialis, or Imperial Law. Headquartered in the Hall of Judgement on Terra, the Judges and Arbitrators of the Adeptus care not for breaches of local laws, but concern themselves with those criminals in all levels of the Imperium's population who flaunt decrees of the Emperor, the High Lords or, more recently, the Lord Commander and Regent, Roboute Guilliman. From the lowest hereditary slave to the most powerful noble lords, no-one is beyond the reproach of the forces of the Arbites except for the Imperial Inquisition , the Adepta Sororitas , the Adeptus Astartes , the Adeptus Custodes, the Lord Regent and the Emperor himself.
The Adeptus Arbites in the Sleipner System
Every world of the Imperium has at least one fortress-precinct present on the world, partially to maintain any eye of the world and its populace to ensure they aren't hiding psykers, having illegal contact with xenos, committing heresy or planning seditious activities; but also to remind the governor that the Emperor is the true ruler and they too are being watched. So when the Von Aurach Crusade was launched, with the prospect of worlds being reclaimed and to ensure the Adeptus Arbites had a presence when they were, the 7th Arbite Judicial Fleet was dispatched to accompany the Von Aurach Crusade Forces when they set off for the Sleipner Sector .
Currently, after fighting alongside the loyalists of the 5122nd Imperial Army when the Great Rift revealed great heresies within the forces present, the 7th fleet remains present and active within the sector, acting like a mobile fortress-precinct for the sector and patrolling the systems looking for raiders and pirates. They have also begun to establish land-based stations too, the first being the sector courthouse, based in Fort Forward on Kulak IV followed by a smaller fortress-precinct attached to the merchants quarter in Novo Sanctus
