Vol. 5The Dark Age and Imperium
Humanity expanded through Warp travel, endured the Machine Rebellion, and entered a Dark Age as Orsaga and the Chaos Gods shaped events across the galaxy. Ra and the Emperor began rebuilding humanity and founding the Imperium, while Slaanesh awakened and attacked the Eldar Pantheon.
- The Hive Will trapped Shi Tiankong, who unleashed a Blood Light that erased half a star system before escaping as Orsaga’s reinforcements arrived.
- Orsaga sent the Ozhaki to fight the Zerg, and they escaped an ambush with one-third of their forces lost and Ulamo dead.
- The Human Federation encountered the Eldar, whose fleets devastated human and Huaien forces before the God of Art ordered them to withdraw for two thousand years.
- After foreseeing the Federation’s destruction in all 117 futures he saw, Ra helped initiate the forbidden Strong AI Experiment.
- The Human Federation fought a civil war against Fallen Machine Intelligences as the Eldar and Orsaga’s Electronic Demons crushed rival machine factions.
- Li Ming defeated an Ork leader, but Wagner gravely injured him before Li Ming used a Character Card and Senzu Bean to meet Wagner’s next punch with Saitama’s power.
- The Emperor developed the Space Marines, Adeptus Custodes, and Primarchs, but the Chaos Gods scattered the Primarch pods and helped Eric Taranis become a Demon Prince.
- Slaanesh awakened, devastated Eldar territory, consumed countless Eldar souls, and confronted the Eldar evil gods in their Pantheon.
