Purpose
Why was your organization created? What is it your people do? It is possible that your organization was created for one purpose, to deal with a specific threat, but after that was dealt with, they were re=purposed to deal with another matter.

Size and Resources
The size of your organization is intimately tied to what its purpose is: how many people are in your organization? Do they control any warriors? Ships? Vehicles? Planets?

Location, Location, Location. ..
Where does your organization recruit from? Where are its offices? Do your people move around a lot in the execution of their duties, or do they generally keep to their offices?

Some organizations are based on Holy Terra, ranging from the greatest and most prestigious to minor ordos devoted to the matters of running the planet. Other organizations are based on other worlds, scattered throughout the Imperium.

They might have several bases and offices on different worlds; they might have only one office, but move around a lot, like the Adeptus Curates, taking them throughout the Imperium.

Relations
Is your organization a part of the Adeptus Terra? If not, how do they relate to it? Has your organization any particular allies? Any specific enemies? What is your organization's relations to the Imperial Guard, Navy, the Adeptus Astartes; do they get on with the Adeptus Mechanicus? The Ecclesiarchy?
