>It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries The Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth
>He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies
>He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology.
>He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die

>Yet even in his deathless state the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance
>Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the Warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will
>Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bioengineered super-warriors
>Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few
>But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse

>To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable
>These are the tales of those times, and in an ancient boardroom of the ULA corporation, in a haze of incense, a man in an ill-fitting suit is speaking:
"The only way to build new spacecraft is with tried-and-true derivatives of the STS. With only another $5 Billion, we are confident SLS Block 1 will be ready in only three years!"
>Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned.
>Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war
>There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods
