Andy Jones (The Wrong Side Of Infinity) Tim White My first games were arcade conversions, such as Out Run on the Amstrad CPC.

The Imperium The Imperium of man has existed for 10,000 years, but its foundation can be attributed to a single invention: the warp drive. A phenomenal breakthrough, the warp drive allowed spacecraft to travel astronomical distances in short periods of time. The importance of this invention in human imperialism cannot be exaggerated. Whereas it once took centuries for human spacecraft to travel to Sol’s closest neighboring star, the same distance could suddenly be covered in just a few hours.
The Age of Strife & The Rebirth of Man For more than 5,000 years, humanity was wracked with war as nation bottled nation and planet fought planet. Men fought bitterly with Daemons, aliens, and with each other. Only the worlds where psykers were rigorously suppressed survived intact. Fortunately, grwt heroes often arise in the moments of greatest peril. The Age of Strife brought forth one such man -the man who would eventually become Emperor of Human Space.
Some vessels become locked in strange currents of the warp, emerging in real space from time to time, only to be helplessly sucked bock into the void. They have no control over their destination and may travel in the warp for centuries. Often these ships ore still manned with living crew - lost beings, prisoners of the void. Often these beings will scavenge the wrecks of other spacecraft, joining the remains to their own vessel in order to increase living space or fashion an escape vessel.
The first generation hybrid closely resembles a purestrain Genestealer. From birth - if not before - it has the Genestealer’s strong psychic ability. The offspring’s psychological influence, together with the parents innate paternal/ maternal instincts, blinds the parents t o the child’s true monstrosity. They nurture and cherish the young hybrid, and will go to great lengths to protect it from harm.
The Legiones Astartes 200 years after the Age of Strife the forces of Earth had cawed out on Empire that stretched almost half way across the galaxy. This vast broadening of the Imperium was known as The First Crusade. The Legion Astartes (Space Marines) ore attributed with being largely responsible for the victorious wars that put the Imperium on the Galactic map during the time of The First Crusade.
The Terminators ln the years following the introduction of Space Marines into active duty a number of scenarios appeared where the Imperial forces were defeated. When the performance of the Marines was questioned a study indicated that the environments in which the battle took place caused some problems to the armor worn by the Space Marines, resulting in loss of movement or even death.
