[@Wernher] A seal of approval from the Emperor himself to you. Great CS, so put that bad boy where it belongs ;D Ps: Doubt kinev is grand admiral after putting down human mutiny with xenos. But maybe he us just disgraced, we'll see. [@Liotrent] There is of course a HUGE intelligence bureau in the Empire. It is needed in order to keep the xenos at bay. Every form of intrigue is controlled by this departement, but ultumately they answer to the Emperor. Now the history of the empire is short. Nobody ever asked the question where the humans came frim before they arrived to the Triangulum. An indeed, nobody will know, because the only person alive from that time is the Emperor and he made sure all of the details are erased. This fact actually i credibly motivates the humans. They feel lile their whole race's history has only been 300 years, so they make the best of it. Soldiers work extra hard to break rebels and keep the security, and civilians make sure they can help the Empire as much as they can. Every single human has the singular goal of keeping the Empire together, for they have no place to go back to. This is, just like the propaganda says, their home. And actually no, I doubt the Empire did anything to humans to upset them. Unless of course you want to use Admiral Konev's hienous acts of putting down a mutiny of humans using xenos. Or that one time where they forced humans to live on worlds with xenos. But most people accept this. Most I guess. [@mattmanganon] Human policy on AIs is zero tolerance. Especially if they already killed their masters. I can see incredibly emotional and human like machines becoming members of the Empire, because they resemble humans so much, but everything else is just a big "INFIDEL" sign for the marines. Also, where did these Feline creatures come from? The Empire regulates mass transits of population, amd I am pretty sure you said the machines drove away their creator. I like your idea to an extent, but it goes against some of the things we established here.
