Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic)	comment	It is the 41st millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Eternal Emperor and Empress have been joined in their holy union. He is the last relic of a lost age when hope and wisdom ruled the galaxy, still clinging to his purpose of forging a better future, and she is the last remnant of an ancient pantheon, a mother watching over dying children brought low by their own hubris.Together, they are the Masters and Guardians of Mankind and Eldar, the keepers of the Last Alliance, the embodiments of the Imperium to which a hundred sapient species swear their fealty.At the core of the Imperium is Humanity, its teeming multitudes ever resilient, stubbornly carving out a future amongst the hostile stars. The greatest of Man's allies are the Eldar, ancient and wise, their shared bond forged in battle and sealed in blood millennia ago. Since then, others have been judged worthy to join in the light of the Imperium, to stand with Men and Eldar as fellows: the industrious Demiurg, enigmatic Tau, countless strains of Abhumans, and many more.Yet for all the Imperium's numbers, it is barely enough to stave off the forces that would tear it down. United under savage Beasts, the Orkish hordes throw themselves at the great edifice of the Imperium. The Necrons are awakening to a changed galaxy, and seeth at the primitives who would dare harbor their greatest foes the Eldar. From the galactic east, the Tyranids have made landfall and sweep over countless worlds in their hungering tide. In the shadows lurk the Dark Eldar, reveling in the carnage of a galaxy at war. And from the Immaterium, the Chaos Gods brood and plot their eternal vengeance, served by the twisted Chaos Eldar.To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold trillions. It is to live in the last bastion of civilization as the darkness draws near. These are the tales of those times. Forget the stories of peace and harmony, for they are fables of a gentler time, when the world still made sense. Remember the stories of struggle and defiance, full of brotherhood and sacrifice, for those are the ones that really matter.Peace is a distant dream growing ever fainter, and there is only war as Men and Eldar hold the line for the promise that has been whispered through the generations, from father to son, from mother to child: that there is good left in the world, and that is worth fighting for.It can be found here.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_109b036e	type	Abusive Precursors
Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_109b036e	comment	Abusive Precursors: The Old Ones projected a very deliberate image of wise benevolence to their vassal races, but got up to some very shady things behind the scenes — for instance, they had no particular qualms about steering the vicious Mon-Keigh towards undeveloped worlds and testing the worthiness of the locals by whether they lived or died. As the War in Heaven reached its desperate, mutually annihilatory crescendo, however, the increasingly desperate Old Ones started sinking to increasingly foul depths to survive — the things they did to turn the simple, peaceful proto-Orks into the modern bioweapon species was an inexcusable act of manipulation and, ultimately, genocide.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_11d671f6	comment	Stopped Caring: The Tau have a "problem", to say the least, with the Dark Eldar, who tend to raid their space whenever they're having issues. Especially with the Archon Klax of the Kabal of the Hand of Deft Spite. It's flat-out stated that normally the Tau see bounty hunting as essentially selfish greed, and that killing should be done for defense. With Klax, they just want him dead and no longer care how it's done.

Lady Malys was already as evil as one would expect from the Dark Eldar in canon, but here, she's as evil as one would expect from the Crone Eldar. Many of the Orks have been suborned to Chaos. In fact, the Beast from the titular War of the Beast more or less serves the same role as the traitorous Horus from the Horus Hersey here in terms of being the Chaos Gods' greatest mortal Champion.

Both are incredibly powerful Super-Soldier programs, but the latter was simply more cost-effective and resulted in less debilitating failures in comparison to the former, so the Steward decided to mass-produce Astartes when beginning the Great Crusade. He did still let the Canis Helix remain under Leman Russ' command and they even continue to exist to this day in the form of the Space Wolves Chapter, though.

The description really drives it home just how dangerous this is. However, for the most part this is averted, as the official Imperial Doctrine is stated as saying "No, do not do this. All it does is cost us lives and resources." It even specifically mentions Ollanius Pius and the Astral Knights (who did their canon stunt of ramming a World Engine to take it down) as very, very rare exceptions where this worked and should not be considered official policy.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: It's rumored that the Chaos/Crone Eldar who serve Slaanesh engage in acts that even the Dark Eldar have been disgusted by. Asdrubael Vect and Lady Malys (here the "Abbadon" of the setting) allied Commoragh and the Crone World Eldar through an Unholy Matrimony. Part of the fallout from this was a mass exodus from Commoragh by the Dark Eldar who decided that allying themselves with Chaos crossed the line. To emphasize just how evil Fyodor Karamazov is in this continuity, Inquisitor Kryptmann (who everyone, including himself, sees as teetering just on the edge of Necessarily Evil) calls him a Genestealer infiltrating the Imperium and wants him purged.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_34602d5a	comment	Hegemonic Empire: Unlike its canon self, which typically expands through military subjugation of human nations and extermination of alien ones, the Imperium prefers to expand through diplomacy. First contact with new polities is typically followed by attempts to establish diplomatic relationships, with the intent of drawing the new group fully into the Imperial fold. This is typically achieved through a combination of perks from doing so, such as access to the Imperium's immense industrial base, its trade networks and the protection of its armies, contrasted with the danger of trying to survive in the darkness of the far future alone. Even so, the Imperium doesn't really press reluctant nations to join, mainly because it's been around for a very long time and is willing to play the long game, and gives joining states a great degree of autonomy, provided that they pay its tithes and don't try to leave.

Due to this, the majority of them had more natural-ish lifespans and are long dead by the time of the forty-first millennium. While this did reduce the "sibling infighting" aspect greatly (as did the Emperor's increased honesty in this universe), this also has the effect of making many of them Demoted to Extra compared to their canon selves.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Humanity, the Craftworld Eldar and Tau are all far easier to identify as the "good" guys in this story. On a more individual level: The Void Dragon, while a Mad Scientist on a scale that puts nearly all others to shame, is hardly malevolent and inscrutable like they are in canon... mostly. Unless you make him mad (in which case, start praying. Unless you worship the Omnissiah, in which case don't bother, since it's actually him). He's also the only C'tan to actually try to live up to the ideal that "We're the gods of the Necrontyr, we should act like it." He regrets that the Necrontyr souls were stolen (once he learns that those were something that Necrontyr kind of need). That being said, he doesn't really get people and has no sense of restraint. Kor Phaeron was Katholian (essentially a distant descendant of Christianity) instead of a Chaos worshipper like his canon counterpart. He was also a Good Shepherd who raised Lorgar well. No Primarch turned traitor, and Horus at one point explicitly rejected Chaos' offer. Most of their legions followed suit, although some marines turned traitor. Inquisitor Kryptmann is definitely dangerous, obsessed with revenge against the Tyranids, and widely feared, but he's still on the Imperium's side. Legienstrausse, canonically the sole assassin of the Maerorus temple (an experiment into using genetic modification to create the perfect assassin) who went rogue immediately, is here the only sane result of the project, and helps hunt down her less fortunate fellows. Oscar himself is far more of a genuine hero than the canonical Emperor, being more humble and generally more connected to the Imperium he rules.

On the one hand, Survivor Civilizations (groups that were already strong empires on their own before joining the Imperium, such as Ultramar, the Interex, or the Tau) are allowed to keep their own technology, and that tends to spread to the Imperium as a whole. On the other, the higher levels of the Mechanicus are absolutely terrified that the Void Dragon is influencing human society and technology (which it is) and want to make sure that any advancement made is absolutely safe.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_420c50b7	type	A.I. Is a Crapshoot
Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_420c50b7	comment	A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Chaos Gods minus Slaanesh were originally artificial creations of the Old Ones who were meant to be the ultimate anti-Necontyr weapons and guides for lesser sapients. Unfortunately, the combination of the war warping them with negative thoughts and the callous, dismissive view the Old Ones had of them (especially Be'lakor's abuse of the proto-Tzeentch) eventually caused them to develop their nihilistic outlook on life and start working towards indulging their nature before all else. While the Men of Iron are often seen as this, the truth is that they were Benevolent A.I. before the Fall of the Eldar, at which point the Iron Minds got front-row seats to the opening of the Eye of Terror, which drove all of them insane. Played with in the case of Castigator, an A.I. Titan from the Dark Age of Humanity who ended up falling to Chaos (despite retaining his sanity earlier because he was mothballed during the Fall), but explicitly did so for the very human reason of revenge; when he was reactivated, he got garbled transmissions that made it look like the humans had suddenly turned on and destroyed the Iron Minds unprovoked.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_45cf4194	comment	Scavenger Hunt: The Great Savlar Scavenger Hunt, the Savlar Order's preferred method of selling off the neutronium that they produce. Once their stockpile is full, they post a long list of items at their gate; this is invariably long, eclectic, and very specific in the precise methods and quantities of delivery. If, for instance, one item is a specific amount of Valhallan brandy in a specific number of arsenic bronze containers then you bring that much in that many containers, no more and no less and in no other manner. No rationale is given for the list's components, which change from occasion to occasion, but it's generally assumed to include necessary raw materials, plus food and items for personal use, plus random junk to throw off people (especially the Mechanicum) trying to figure out how to make neutronium. The first group or person to provide the whole list to the Order's satisfaction gets the whole stock of material to use or sell as they see fit.

Vulkan was the immovable object to Lucius' unstoppable force, and was the only one to ever cleanly beat him in combat; Lucius respects him greatly and still drops by the Temple of the Flame on Nocturne from time to time to pay respects at Vulkan's grave. He and Lelith both consider their duel to be the best fight that they ever had and greatly look forward to a rematch.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_504333fe	comment	A God I Am Not: Oscar the Emperor is very emphatic on the point that he is not a god, and does not want to be worshipped as one; one of the few hard rulers imposed on members of the Imperium is that they are forbidden from worshipping him. This is in large part due to the stories he was raised on of the old Men of Gold and their bloody rampages through the old human empire after they were driven mad by Slaanesh's birth, and his fears of becoming something like that. Notably, however, the Eldar of the old Empire viewed the Men of Gold as the closest thing that humanity had to gods, and the modern ones viewed his marriage to Isha as politically valid solely on that basis. Isha herself is of the opinion that the Men of Gold and the Iron Minds were humanity's counterpart to the Eldar pantheon and that Oscar is a god in denial, a topic that they have had heated arguments on on a number of occasions.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_57b80b45	type	Fantastic Racism
Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_57b80b45	comment	Fantastic Racism: Much less prevalent than in the canon timeline, where the typical reaction of a human to an Eldar is "Xenos Witch, Five Rounds Rapid." That said, racism does still exist, despite the near ten thousand years of the alliance. It's more similar to modern-day racism, though, with prejudices and people treating each other badly, but not anywhere near what it could be. Common problems include the fact that many Eldar were raised on stories of the Old Eldar Empire and how it covered the galaxy, and they haven't had many generations living outside of that empire. While many do understand that there were problems with it (see also how said Empire led to the birth of Slaanesh and the creation of the Crone and Dark Eldar), the long life spans and tendency of the Eldar to fixate on things mean that many still believe their species is superior to their supposed allies, and want to beat back the Dark Eldar and continue the days when they ruled the galaxy. It is noted that this is a particularly hardline stance, and that there are many friendly Eldar in the galaxy, but two whole Craftworlds have refused to join the Imperium because of these beliefs. The Tau, as a young, naive race, tend to look down on the other races of the Imperium until they get smacked in the face how things actually are. They initially assumed that the first reports of Terra's wonders and the size of the Imperium were exaggerations, things designed to make the Imperium look good (thinking that the Imperium was about the size of Ultramar, which is the same as their own empire in size). They had to severely rethink a lot of their beliefs once they realized that, if anything, the initial reports downplayed how huge things were. The Death Korps of Krieg, due to the deprivation of their homeworld, see aliens as parasites who consume resources that more rightfully belong to proper humans, and barely tolerate their presence in the Imperium. Amusingly, this means they basically have the attitude of the canon universe Imperium.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_5b84f2a	comment	Transhuman: All over the place, but some examples deserve special mention: The Adeptus Mechanicus, as in canon, make a religious doctrine out of steadily improving themselves through technological upgrades such as multifunction or additional limbs, ocular arrays capable of perceiving wider spectra and fields of vision than normal, memory and cognitive upgrades, and so on. The Adeptus Biologicus, an order formed from Old Earth's various genetic tinkerer societies and loosely folded into the AdMech proper, have a similar policy centered around biological upgrades. Belisarius Cawl is noted to still look remarkably human for an AdBio Magus of his age, and he has a visible mottling of photosynthetic patches on his skin, cephalopod-like eyes, and a variety of low-grade copies of Astartes organs worked into his body, including some straight upgrades to a lung and a kidney, a second heart, and blood modified to clot more readily when exposed to air. The inhabitants of Fenris and the Fenrisian Colonies. One of the odder aspects of the Canis Helix (who make up the Space Wolves) in this canon is that, unlike the Adeptus Astartes, they aren't sterile and their traits can be (admittedly rarely) passed down to their children. This may not sound like a lot, but roughly ten millennia's worth of intermarriage between the Space Wolves and the peoples of Fenris and her colonies has resulted in them all being fairly resistant to the cold and Hot-Blooded. In the later days of the Great and Bountiful Human Dominion, the line between humanity and machine became very blurred. Between purely organic humans and their various genetic offshoots and the Iron Men there were cyborgs of various degrees, positronic brains inhabiting vat-grown bodies, human minds uploaded into computers, and everything in between. Ruling over all this were the transsapient Iron Minds and the Men of Gold, artificial humans created with genetically-perfect tailored bodies interlaced with grown components of metal and plastic, undying and psychically powerful.

This left the planet with a persistent food problem, which an ancient governor tried to address by commissioning the Adeptus Biologicus to scour the galaxy for any kind of plant that could be made to grow on the planet. The result was a mengaerie of flora, Earthborn and alien and of unclear origin alike, selected from a double dozen worlds and mainly of the kinds found growing around volcanoes or on Venus-like planets. The AdBio then spent decades crossbreeding the chimeric ecosystem they had created until they were able to create hybrid alien plants that could actually produce food; none of it tastes remotely tolerable but it can be processed down in edible slurries with most of the flavor removed and that's sufficient for the planet's needs.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_725583e8	comment	Good Feels Good: When Asdrubael married Lady Malys and Commorragh threw in its lot with Chaos, many of low-ranking Dark Eldar and quite a lot of the alien pirates and mercenaries living in the city fled while they still could and tried to find new boltholes to hide in. One of the groups was a band of Sslyth pirates who ended up in Cherys, a system consisting of gas giants orbited by several Earth-sized moons that had been scouted by the Imperium for settlement and had an early space station built but had to be abanonded for 500 years after being isolated by Warp storms. The Sslyth decided that this seemed like an excellent new base of operations and set up shop, and had the good fortune of being mistaken for legitimate settlers by the first Imperial patrol to head their way, since there are a few old Sslyth enclaves in the Imperium. The Sslyth still deal in black market, weapon smuggling and back alley deals, but more and more find that having steady jobs and nobody shooting at them is actually really nice, and they actually make more money seeling processed resources through legitimate channels than using them to make ships and guns, and despite insisting that they're still pirates they've been finding to their increasing discomfort that they're falling more and more into the role of legitimate administrators and liking it enough that they're not sure that they'd want to go back to their old ways if the chance presented itself.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_727b5779	comment	Cat Folk: The Felinids are a strain of genetically modified humans that were created during the Dark Age of Technology to colonize Carlos McConnell, a humid world whose continents and islands are covered by dense temperate and tropical rainforests. Since areable land is very scarce and there aren't any native animals useful as large livestock, it was decided to create colonsists who could live directly off of the wilderness' abundant small fauna and move through the dense growth with ease. Cats were a major source of genetic material, although a fair amount was also derived from small primates such as marmosets. Modern felinids have mostly human faces, with enlarged teeth, protruding pointed ears, manelike hair, and feline eyes. Their bodies are much hairier than baseline humans', their fingers are tipped with retractable claws, and their feet are very apelike, with opposable big toes and flexible ankle joints for gripping tree branches; they also have tails, for balance when climbing. Their homeworld is split between an islander culture that relies on seafood to feed itself and primitive hunter-gatherer tribes in the continents. In the Guard, they're very poor at regimented tactics and worse at holding a position, but make excellent scouts, skirmishers and wilderness troops. They have an unfortunate habit of taking enemy bones to make trophies with.

Look at the Kryptman Line (where he destroyed an entire line of star systems in the path of Behemoth to starve it of resources) for an example of this. To end the Harrowing, humanity focused the Astronomican from a psychic lighthouse to a psychic death laser.

It's also worth noting that the version of the Squats seen here are the "original" Squats before they were eventually Rewritten into the current Leagues of Votann. A number of alien species and human civilizations that in canon were wiped out during the Great Crusade, such as the Kinebrach, Interex and Diasporex, still exist as members of the Imperium. The Olamic Quietude are also still around, as a deeply hostile pocket empire. In canon, the Saruthi are utterly corrupted by Chaos, body and soul, down to the last individual and their very genetic code. Here, much the same was assumed in-universe until the 41st Millennium, at which point small squads of primeval, uncorrupted Saruthi started appearing out of nowhere, methodically and mercilessly destroying Chaos forces, and then vanishing again. The Poctroon are barely more than a footnote in canon; they were the first species the Tau absorbed before they were wiped out by a plague. Here, the timely intervention of an Imperium Bio-Priestess saved 2% of their species—the Tau couldn't figure out how to do it on their own since the plague was created by Nurgle cultists and they had basically no knowledge of Chaos at that time.

The Nightbringer proved to be a foe far beyond what the Neverborn expected — its power had been greatly magnified by the fear and agony of the worlds it had already purged, it radiated a supernatural aura of fear, and, when it killed a daemon, it absorbed and unmade its essence instead of allowing it rebirth in the Warp. Faced with a foe that cut them down like wheat and experiencing mortal fear and the threat of mortality for the first time in their lives, the daemons fought, and wavered, and turned and ran — quite possibly the first time a Khornate force ever did so, to Khorne's immense displeasure.

Farseer Taldeer and LIVII from Love Can Bloom had their story play out from that series. However, what makes their coupling unique is that now Taldeer is pregnant with a half-human, half-Eldar child — which, to the best of in-universe knowledge, shouldn't actually be possible.

Over time, as the War in Heaven grew increasingly fierce, the Mon-Keigh grew increasingly difficult to control and the Old Ones' shifting priorities during the War in Heaven made the indirect manipulations that the Mon-Keigh had been central to less and less important. The final straw came in the form of the creation of the Krork, which made the older species entirely obsolete; the Old Ones' first test for their new creations was to set them on the Mon-Keigh, who were nearly entirely eradicated.

Many of the setting's mysteries could be answered if weren't too much of a selfish jackass to share his wisdom. The Imperium was, during a battle against the Tyranids, able to bring down a Hive Ship more or less intact and has spent the past few centuries studying it. When the technicians assigned to it were able to determine the thing's age — which they had to do using radioactive isotope dating of the kind normally used for rocks, as regular carbon dating doesn't work well for anything more than fifty thousand years old — they determined that the ship was around five million years in age. Not the Tyranid race, mind — just that one ship. The margin of error alone was larger than the history of human civilization.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_9bcd82c0	comment	Took a Level in Badass: While individual power levels are reduced somewhat, as a whole each faction is more powerful than its baseline counterpart, for various reasons. The Imperium is much more organized and internally communicative and has an overall better grasp of its technology, as well as the aid of the Craftworld and Exodite Eldar (plus the occasional Dark Eldar defector), the Tau and their many client races, and a few of the Necrons. Chaos has additional servants in the form of the Chaos Eldar and the corrupted Orks, and has also managed to recently recruit the Dark Eldar. The Necrons have started to wake up en masse, and current estimates say that at least 60% of the Dynasties have awoken. The Tyranids have truly arrived. As it turns out here, the Hive Fleets really were just the vanguard — and the main fleet Jormugandr has just made it to the Milky Way. Orks are much more tactically minded as well as being the screaming berserkers that they are in canon, and a critical mass of them will result in the birth of Brain Boyz, who are not only some of the best natural commanders in the galaxy but amplify WAAGH! energy to the point where Orks are regularly known to weaponize moons.

In the Veiled Region there is a star system, around an old red giant; it is surrounded by an asteroid belt made out of unguessable numbers of petrified Daemons, their faces forever locked in terror, and beyond there is nothing. Oh, observations may show that there is a planet in there, with traits to measure and a surface to land on, but those observations would be wrong. The planet doesn't exist, and anything that lands on therefore also doesn't exist. It's believed that this is where the C'tan Llandu'gor was killed using weapons that tore away at reality itself, and the current state of things is the result of universal constants being changed, erased and reinstanted.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_9ecb2ba8	comment	Reimagining the Artifact: Multiple elements of old storylines and lore in the canon 40K setting are heavily reworked and implemented in differing ways for Nobledark Imperium. One good example of this is with the Zoats. In canon, the Zoats were basically a Flawed Prototype to the Genestealer Cults created by the Tyranid Hive Fleets, and due to their unpopularity among the players, were eventually retired and abandoned, with it being Hand Waved as the Hive Mind having made them too independent-minded to be useful infiltrators and so they were almost completely consumed after they kept rebelling against the Hive Mind. Here, the Zoats are the last vestiges of a previous species who fought to the bitter end against the Tyranids, and on the cusp of their defeat, created an incredibly advanced genetic virus that "infected" the Tyranids and made it so as soon as the Hive Fleets reached a new galaxy, Tyranid bio-ships would first re-create the Zoats so they could start sabotaging the Hive Fleets' efforts as much as possible.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_9f63d4f1	comment	Our Vampires Are Different: C'tan vampires are created by implanting a fragment of a C'tan shard within a living being, turning them into a powerful and immortal monster. C'tan vampires feed parasitically on other beings, which they can convert into new members of their kind by planning a new fragment into them, and grow progressively stronger as they age and feed. Their specific abilities and behaviors vary depending on their progenitor; Strigoi, descended from Mephet'ran the Deceiver, are cultured aristocrats who manipulate society from within, while Nosferatu, descended from Aza'gorod the Nightbringer, are undead monsters interested in little beyond death and destruction. For all their power, however, they're vulnerable to intense radiation — sunlight harms them, but direct x-rays, gamma radiation or microwaves harm them even more — and unknown to them they can all be directly manipulated and influenced by their C'tan progenitor.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The opening cantos of the hymn of Ahriman's Daemon Breakers is simply the Ghostbusters theme song with more elaborate lyrics. The Tau are referred to in side notes as having the same character arc that humanity did in Mass Effect — that of a growing power who wants to be part of the big table making the big decisions, but is only now just starting to see the true scope of the galaxy at large. The Zoats here serving as a rebellious pseudo-herald of the devastating Tyranid Hive Fleets are openly compared to having a similar relationship to that seen between the Silver Surfer and Galactus in Marvel Comics. The only known surviving member of the Ordo Cronos once turned up in the cargo hold of a rogue trader's ship with a mysterious blue box. The first Tau diplomat to travel extensively through the Imperium and bring back an account of the wonders he had seen was named Por'O M'arc. The mysterious aliens known as the Tindalosi are so named because a surviving eyewitness compared them to fictional creatures from an ancient Terran story. The Emperor's given name is a stealthy one: he's a Man of Gold named Oscar. One piece of writing subtlely Lampshades this, with Oscar being named after the uncle of a member of the expedition that found him, a reference to an urban legend about where the Academy Awards' nickname came from.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_d27471a7	comment	Multiple Government Polity: The Imperium operates like this as a result of the galactic distances it stretches over making centralized government effectively impossible and of it tending to expand by confederating preexisting starfaring nations. In general, the Imperium doesn't particularly care how its member states and planets run themselves as long as they pay the Imperial Tithe, don't worship Chaos and don't try to leave, and the modern Imperium thus takes the form of an immense patchwork of semi-independent systems, Craftworlds, alien and human star nations, and nomadic fleets of spaceships, all ultimately reporting to the central Imperial government but largely self-running in their day-to-day internal affairs.

This design, however, left it difficult to defend, and the Taskmaster of Slaanesh was able to invade it, desecrate it and raze it and its planet to the ground as part of his effort to establish Slaanesh as the Imperium's devil figure. The Word Bearers rebuilt it as a fortified hive, designing it with an eye for defense, and when Arrotyr came along at the head of Khornate warhost to prove his god's superiority he had to work hard to take it, but he was able to raze it once more. The survivors, who were noteably more numerous this time around, rebuilt Monarchia to be even stronger, and the result is a fortified hive that is counted among the strongest foritifications in the Imperium.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_d500b978	comment	Adaptational Wimp: The Primarchs in this timeline were not the geneforged sons of the Master of Mankind, but normal humans who were simply Oscar's greatest generals. Those that were augmented only received the basic Space Marine upgrades, and a number were not augmented at all — Lorgar, Corvus and Guilliman simply never received augmentation, while Magnus' mutation and Horus' abhuman nature made them incompatible. Granted, this also means that they are as a whole far more stable and sane than their counterparts were, so it's ultimately more of a mixed bag. Downplayed, but while the Space Wolves are still insanely tough and deadly Super Soldiers in this canon, they're products of another super soldier program the Imperium was researching during the Unification Wars on Old Earth, the Canis Helix, which has less extensive surgery and more focus on altering human DNA with that of deadly animals (i.e., wolves). Thus, they're not as deadly as the other Astartes Chapters are, but are still terrifying combatants in their own right.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_d8068af5	type	Ring World Planet
Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_d8068af5	comment	Ring World Planet: In its heyday, Great and Bountiful Human Dominion created an immense ringworld, the Cthonian Ring, in the Regulus system. It's not entirely clear why they did it or why they picked that specific location, since Regulus is a four-star system and thus arguably one of the worst places to built a stellar megastructure in; some in-universe speculators figure that the Dominion, then at the height of its power, built just to prove to that they could. It was almost entirely destroyed during the Revolt of the Iron Men, when its star was induced to go nova and scoured its inner surface clean down to its neutronium foundations, and most of the construction on its outer side was destroyed by the rest of the weapons being thrown around. It has since remained a place of wonder for humanity; scavengers during the dark ages often braved journeys from nearby systems to pick through its ruins, and the modern Imperium has romanticized it as a symbol of what humanity once achieved and might achieve again; most Mechanicum facilities display sculptures of it on their premises, and art of the Emperor often depicts him with the Ring as a halo. There are plans to rebuild it someday, although the sheer scale of the project keeps them purely theoretical, and permanent population has established itself in the more intact portions to service the steady stream of scavengers, researchers, pilgrims, and just travelers and traders passing through.

Since the Horus Heresy never happened here and no legions of Space Marines ever entirely turned over to Chaos, there are fewer Chaos Space Marines and the Chaos Gods generally have to rely on smaller numbers of forces than they would in canon, as seen with the Crone Eldar, Fallen, and Chaos Guard. However, their numerical disadvantage is balanced out by how the Chaos Gods lavish their favorite toys with powerful daemons, advanced Heretek technology, and deadly blessings, to the point that every Fallen Captain is approaching Chaos Champion-tier power here.

Here, the Squats only have their short stature and physical traits because they are Heavyworlders. Squats raised on lighter-gravity worlds have human stature, and humans raised on high-gravity worlds resemble Squats. The only reason they are classified as abhumans is because of spite from the Adeptus Mechanicus. In canon, the Emperor is a Humanoid Abomination bordering on Eldritch of unknown origin. Here, the Emperor/Steward/Oscar is a "Man of Gold", basically an Artificial Human created by the Great and Bountiful Human Domain (the Precursors of the Imperium who ruled the galaxy during the Dark Age of Technology and the Age of Strife) and who is also the closest thing that humanity's ever created to a Warp God.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_eff83d77	type	Mundane Utility
Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_eff83d77	comment	Mundane Utility: The Void Dragon is... weird, that way. He has created a tremendous amount of extremely destructive devices, but they were all originally intended for mundane uses. For instance, a star-killing device was originally intended for mining black holes.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_f863bb6d	comment	Battle Trophy: Illic Nightspear adorns himself with with mementos taken from the dangerous creatures that he hunts, such as a necklace made from genestealer teeth, a knife with a handle carved from a single chunk of squiggoth ivory, and a necron finger.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_f8e010ce	type	Evil Cannot Comprehend Good
Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_f8e010ce	comment	Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Chaos' failure to corrupt Konrad Kurze was, essentially, a failure of Chaotic Evil to understand Lawful Evil. Chaos assumed that, since Kurze was objectively a monster, he would be easy to lure into their clutches by promising him the ability to vent his darker urges without any checks or limitations. Kurze found this repulsive, since he ultimately desired order, structure and stability — his evil was done specifically to protect the Imperium, and he was very loyal to it. The Dark Eldar of Commorragh are this to Fabius Bile. The man acts so strangely to them — he does every job to the best of his ability, with absolutely no treachery or scheming above his station. If you go to him, you will get quality biological horrors. People wonder what he's really up to, when in truth, Fabius has no plan. He just wants to get more materials for his research and accepts commissions for his work. In another treachery-cannot-comprehend-loyalty version, one reason the Chaos Gods are somewhat scared of Lady Malys is because she can cause serious trouble to the first god to withdraw his power (with the end result that none of them are willing to), but she has absolutely no desire to take advantage of this. She's quite happy in her current position and truly loyal, but they're pretty much all waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_f909b16b	comment	Dark Secret: The higher-ups of the Adeptus Mechanicus who are in on the existence of the Void Dragon are, as a whole, aware that it is the Omnissiah, but keep it locked up out of fear. The Void Dragon doesn't appear to mind being locked up too much, though...

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_fa4064bd	type	Secret Government Warehouse
Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_fa4064bd	comment	Secret Government Warehouse: Ganymede as a whole serves as this for the Imperium; whenever the Inquisition finds something that's too dangerous to leave alone but which cannot be destroyed and/or might come in handy someday, which happens often, it gets stashed on Ganymede behind layers of security. Among other things, the facilities there contain ancient Old One artifacts, two copies of a nanotech terror weapon, an imprisoned Daemon Prince, a bioengineered super-assassin, a set of lockpicks capable of opening literally anything, and a human preserved in amber several millions of years old. The Eldar think that the whole thing is a huge security risk, and they and the Inquisition tend to get into heated arguments over it whenever something breaks out or when some object or inmate becomes useful.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Contrary to what most people tend to think, pre-Necron Nemesor Zandrekh was just as benevolent (if more coherent) than he is now, but it's specifically noted that this did not make him harmless — Necrontyr politics were insanely cutthroat, and Zandrekh could afford to be so nice because he was also a brilliant strategist who could make people pay for underestimating him.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_fd4f8299	comment	Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Zoats sometimes fall into this due to their single-minded focus on wiping out the Tyranids. It's noted that while they work with the Imperium since they also fight the Tyranids, they don't answer to or accept orders given to them by the Imperium either, and some of the actions they accomplish solely to "spite the 'Nids" can have pretty hellish consequences. Two specific examples given are the Zoats awakening a Necron Tomb World to wipe out a Hive Fleet (even though the Tomb World would then go on to ravage the entire sector) and also attracting a Chaos warband to attack a planet with a strong Genestealer cult.

Nobledark Imperium (Fanfic) / int_fdb6b8ad	comment	The Magnificent: KhÃ¢rn is often referred to KhÃ¢rn the Oathsworn, and sometimes as the World Eaternote in the setting, the War Hounds were never renamed to the World Eaters in memory of an incident where he was able to single-handedly cripple a rebellious planet's military. He was not fond of the name, as he spent most of that incident in a berserk rage and he did not like how close he came to losing himself completely.
