Editing Lion's Protectorate (section)

==Overview==
The Lion's Protectorate is the name of a group of Imperium Nihilus worlds and Systems, that are under the protection of the [[Dark Angels]]' [[Lion El'Jonson|You-Know-Who]] and the Imperial forces that serve him including The Risen and Lion Guard.

It was formed after the Primarch realized the extent of the destruction the [[Great Rift]]'s creation had upon the Imperium, which left him with a desire to protect as many of its citizens as he could. Though he has stated that only those who wish to join should do so, as word spread of the Lion's return, more Imperium Nihilus Systems sought the aid his Protectorate offered. It has now significantly increased in size, however, and as a result, the Lion's forces have become stretched thin.

The Lion is currently (Understandably) worried on the Imperium's reaction to him essentially carving up his own little fiefdom, since it may give factions like the [[Inquisition]], hints on his [[Imperium Secundus|naughty past]]. However, given that the Imperium is now de-facto ruled by the Big Blue and the fact that he has a pretty good excuse of being stuck on the opposite end of Imperium Sanctus, the Lion should be pretty safe living in his bungalow. Also given that Ultramar exists and was officially condoned by the Emperor, this is hardly without precedent. Although, Ultramar was allowed because it willingly joined the Imperium. Interstellar nations are allowed to remain whole if they do this, broke up if they resist. Creating a new one ''after'' the Great Crusade is much more...questionable.
