The Order started as a group of zealous mutant hunters who defected from the [[Imperiya]]. Today it is a Militaristic Theocracy that hails from the Delta plate Cluster of the Monolith Battleplates. Worshipping a god and beileving that he reincarnates himself in the form of a new leader every time they die. They are Violent, xenophobic and fundamentalist, The Vorhut Order has grown to become quite despised in the politics of their world.

Vorhut travels from plate to plate, spreading the will of their deity, Molokh. Their code dictates that the "Impure" must be destroyed.  The Order is openly hostile to pretty much any outsider that doesn't fall in line. It is not uncommon for Vorhut to enslave nonbelievers and use them for dumb labor. Their deeds put them at complete odds with the Svoboda Clan, who oppose them on moral grounds, and of course the Black Legion who they see as a great Evil on the world. *Which they aren't entirely wrong on*

Order soldiers will often accompany Molokh Monks to towns in their territory on "Prayer Days"  Where the Monks will stand outside of a town and call for some, or all of it's residents to come out and participate in their Holy Prayer. Vorhut acts as the enforcers to the Religion, and those who refuse, or are suspected of breaking their laws are taken away and enslaved or killed.  Towns harboring "Fugitives" such as Mutants will often send them into hiding during these visits.  The Prayer Days are a leading cause for conflict between Vorhut and neutral towns and settlements. However within the Delta plates, the heartland of Vorhut's power, there is little outside groups can do about it.
