Language:
Low Gothic- a bastardised, present-day version of High Gothic, is the current common tongue of the Imperium of Man.
High Gothic- High Gothic, also called Tech by the Adepts of the Adeptus Mechanicus, is the hieratic tongue of the Imperium of Man, used in the titles of ancient institutions and organisations (such as the Adeptus Terra). It represents an older language than the commonly used Imperial vernacular tongue and is regarded as holy since it was the language spoken by the Emperor of Mankind.
It is unintelligible to most Imperial citizens. It is only the language of important Adepts and members of the Inquisition, and even among those who can speak it, it is only a second language. It is used only in formal situations (such as during pious benedictions by a Priest of the Ecclesiarchy), rather than as a casual language of conversation.
Religion:

Research:
Medicine- In the hope that they can bring back the Emperor and his Primarchs, they find ways to improve medical treatment.
