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
Emperors will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted
worlds. Greatest amongst His soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes,
the Space Marines, bio-engineered 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 cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable.
These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology
and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be relearned.
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
