What is the basic lore for Warhammer 40k?
The Warhammer 40K Universe is an immense distopian vision of the future. In this future, human civilisation has advanced to great heights but even greater depths.
Come to the Dark Imperium and you will find heresy rampant in a galaxy on the brink of total devastation. This galaxy is much different than it was before the so-called Emperor’s Great Crusade of 1997 aka The Age Of The Imperium which ushered in ten thousand years of prosperity with equal measures order and safety under His wise and benevolent rule. Now, billions live under vile oppression or abuse as psykers, mutant abominations, xenos scum fill every corner corrupting all they touch while mysterious forces stir in the Eastern Fringes intent on conquest or destruction for their own unknowable ends.
