[. . . ] Two points that, in our reality, ore tens of thousands of light years apart might be separated by a few miles in warp space. Thus it's possible for a suitably equipped ship to enter warp space through a warp gate, travel for few a hours, and re-emerge in our space millions of miles from the ship's departure point. Warp space allows a spacecraft to travel hundred of thousands of light years in only a few hours. The Imperium would not exist without this alternate universe - protecting and administering such a colossal empire would be impossible if ships could only travel through real space at sub-light speed. But warp travel is not without its dangers. Warp space is filled with cross-currents, eddies and whirlpools of power. Some ships disappear without a trace, only to emerge centuries later or millions of miles from their intended destination. 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. A shrewd diplomat, he gathered the loose fragments of humanity into a single empire. He conquered those who would not join forces with him and reclaimed whole worlds lost to aliens. He's also the strongest psyker that galaxy has ever seen - it was the Emperor himself that finally drove the Daemons back into the warp. The Emperor The Emperor still reigns after 10, 000 years. As an immortal, he has ruled for millenia, ordering the lives of men, protecting humanity from the great threats of the universe, and sacrificing himself for the future of the race. Only the Emperor's strength, will, and intelligence have held the Imperium intact and allowed it to flourish through the centuries of strife and discord - it is to the Emperor that humanity owes its existence. Some vessels become locked in strange currents of the warp, Reproduction The most conspicuous characteristic of Genestealers is their means of reproduction. Genestealers don't mote - there ore no moles or females among their numbers. Instead, Genestealers infecting other races with their genetic material. reproduce by 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. These shoddy conglomerations of space junk con become, after centuries of accumulation, monstrosities -several miles long a s w e l l as wide. Humans call these lumbering ships space Hulks and regard them with well-deserved suspicion. For a space Hulk con be a derelict ship with priceless treasures from the post-or it con be a harbinger of evil. , the home of treacherous alien beings. Using a powerful hypnotic gaze, a Genesteoler paralyses ik victim in much the some way that a snake terrifies its prey into immobility. [. . . ] We believe the insignia and crude fashionings on the walls are indicating the entrance to the realm of the Patriarch. Use the Heavy Flamer to purge the corridor leading to the top of this level - there must be none of the foes behind us when we J Ultimate Firepower We must seize the victory that is now in reach!Having left the smoldering remains of the Genestealers' legacy behind us, we now go in search of the source of the evil burning in the minds of the minions that combat us. Using the Assault Cannons as justice, your squad must seek out any sign of the foe and eliminate them from this level that once echoed to the sound o f Captain Lithonius' squad. [. . . ]
