It is a time of legend.
Mankind huddles upon Terra, scarred by the long age of Old Night, when ignorance and savagery reigned across a galaxy that once bowed to their whims. But a new power has arisen. The Emperor of Mankind, who has thrown down the warlords of his birthworld and now turns his gaze to the glaxy beyond.
A Great Crusade is declared. Vast fleets are mustered, their holds filled with newly-raised Legions of Space Marines. Warriors bred from the Emperor's own hand, stronger and swifter than any soldier of old, though yet untested in the wars to come.
Scattered across the galaxy, lost in infancy or hidden by fate's cruel hand, the Primarchs, the Emperor's most precious creations, are yet to be found. Without their gene-sires to lead them, the Legions march under proxy commanders, their potential as yet unrealized.
Ahead lies a galaxy unconquered: countless alien empires, shattered human civilisations fractured by millennia of isolation, and horrors older than mankind's first steps to the stars. Compliance is no certainty. Every world must be won, by compliance where possible, by annihilation where necessary.
This is not yet an age of golden citadels and recorded triumphs. It is the first march into the dark. The opening chapter of a war that will remake the galaxy. The Emperor leads with one promise above all others, the Stars shall be ours.

Just a plug for the RP!
