Officio Amicitia

The Officio Amicitia, colloquially known as the Office of Friendship, is an Imperial adepta dedicated to the maintenance of the Imperium's relations with the various nations of the galaxy. It is a peculiar adepta as many of its members hail from the Imperium's greatest rival—the New Republic. The adepta is represented by the ambassador of the New Republic as a symbol of mutual respect, despite their xenophobic attitude towards the Republic. The Office was first introduced by Emperor Karl Franz shortly after the enactment of the Xenos Act of 849.M21.
