Imperium
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 deamon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between the 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 among 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 defense 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 a times is to be one amongst untold billions.It is to live in the crullest 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 re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim darkness of the far 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.
Introduction
This is a resource page for roleplaying in the Imperium. Articles should be written from an Imperial point of view. Some articles will be imported from Wikipedia, particularly to add fluff to game rules. In most cases, a short blurb and a link to Wikipedia or the Lexicanum should be sufficient.
Another option might be to import text from the d20 Warhammer 40,000 project and rewrite the rules.
