The following are organizations that either openly or directly support the Inquisition. They can be counted on to assist any Inquisitor that needs to make use of their resources, assuming they haven't been pissed off in some fashion.

Organization: Brilliant Flare of Syberdex
Stance: Externally militant. Preparing the Expletio sector for oncoming aggressors (the Tau, Tyranids, etc.).
Internally heretek hunters. Purging the impure research and collecting it for use in proper projects.
History:
A militant cult that began to form in the wake of a series of galactic dangers that presented themselves: the Tau's expansion two sectors coreward and blasphemous technology, the oncoming Tyranid horde and their genetic abomination, the nearby Orkish warhost, the ever insidious Eldar that seemed to brazenly travel the sector and even whispered rumors of horrible creatures of metal and unholy light beginning to wake.
With so many of the most dangerous enemies all threatening one sector, the Brilliant Flare of Syberdex is two pronged in their activities. Their first and most well known disposition is the hunting and killing of xenos, successionist heretics and other forces that openly defy the will of the Imperium. Their second disposition is considerably quieter and rumors carefully suppressed. The Archmagos' of the cult have realized the bitter truth, that the current technology provided to them by the Omnissiah is insufficient to win. New weapons must be discovered and created. The reason this doctrine of theirs is carefully hidden, is 1) It suggests a flaw in the Mechanicus' ability to defend the realms. Never a wise declaration to make. And, 2) The sort of technology they are willing to delve into is far deeper than the Cult Mechanicus would ever be willing to go. As a general rule, this is the Brilliant Flare of Syberdex's views on a number of heretical technologies.
Dark Age of Technology Tech: All is fair. Any technology that can be found should be studied and replicated.
Empyric (Warp) Tech: Any tech that uses raw warp power is okay. Any tech that worms to bind or use intelligent/malefic beings is strictly prohibted (binding daemons/daemonweapons, creating murder gholams, summoning rituals, etc)
Xenos Tech: Cleansed and destroyed. The impurity of the weaponry is unworthy of copying, though some Tech-priests do quietly study xenos tech and then attempt to mimic it with existing Imperial tech.
As it is a particularly militant branch of the Expletio Mechanicus and prone to hunting the myriad foes of humanity, the members of the Brilliant Flare of Syberdex are quite commonly seen in the retinues of Inquisitor's and their acolytes. The members of Syberdex are often capable of carrying out edgier research projects in the Inquisition's service than within normal Mechanicus labs, hence their preponderance to work amongst them. While they do skirt the line on occasion, most moderate (and radical) Inquisitors see plenty of use in their abilities.

-Rites of Passage: As a tech-priest deepens in his understanding of the ways of Sollex, more and more of his skull is stripped of its flesh and replaced with black adamantine. By the time they are a full tech, the entire lower half of their face has been replaced to look like the a metallic lower jaw and skull. By the time the tech-priest becomes a magos, his skull is fully scourged of flesh and his entire skull plated. An act which represents the removal of the weak and corruptible and replacing it with the cold and unbleshmished certainty of their task. This serves both as a personal and outwards reminder of their duties. The effect of this trait is as follows:
At the rank of Tech-Priest (Rank 5) the Tech-Priest gains a +1 AP bonus to his head due to the plates. At Rank 9 for the Magos Ascension career the Tech-Priest gains a total +2 AP bonus to his head due to completion of the plates.
