Abstract: We extend Burger--Mozes theory of closed, non-discrete, locally quasiprimitive automorphism groups of locally finite, connected graphs to the semiprimitive case, and develop a generalization of Burger--Mozes universal groups acting on the regular tree $T_d$ of degree $dinmathbb{N}_{ge3}$. Three applications are given: First, we characterize the automorphism types which the quasi-center of a non-discrete subgroup of $mathrmAut(T_d)$ may feature in terms of the group's local~action. In doing so, we explicitly construct closed, non-discrete, compactly generated subgroups of $mathrmAut(T_d)$ with non-trivial quasi-center, and see that Burger--Mozes theory does not extend further to the transitive case. We then characterize the $(P_k)$-closures of locally transitive subgroups of $mathrmAut(T_d)$ containing an involutive inversion, and thereby partially answer two questions by Banks--Elder--Willis. Finally, we offer a new view on the Weiss conjecture.
