Editing Shattered Imperium (section)

==Ideas==
===Xenos Collaboration===
Loyalists are slightly more open to xenos than the original Imperium of Man, primarily because they only had a few legions and lacked the numbers to truly defend their space without some negotiation with xenos. Their primary alliances are with the various factions of Craftworld Eldar, but as with the Imperium Secundus, conflict does erupt from time to time.

Chaos is pretty much chaos from our timeline. The exception being that the Dark Eldar never interact with them, as the legions are fully devoted to Chaos, lacking the renegades who just use chaos for their own means (Like Fabius Bile or the Night Lords.) 

Free Legions generally view xenos as a stepping stone for their objectives. While they will not hesitate to exterminate races that are enslaving humans, they will gladly ally with minor xenos races if it means gaining an advantage.

The Ascensionists are more than willing to utilize xenos knowledge and technology, but tend to view xenos allies as a weakness that will lead to the collapse of the path. So some haemonculi might be tolerated to modify marines and the Iron Hands descendants might study Necron tech but you won't generally see PoA fighting alongside Necrons or Eldar.

Renegades vary. Space Wolves probably kill them all, Lion doesn't care as long as they kneel before him, Guilliman is more willing to utilize xenos as auxiliaries for his armies.

===Aftermath===
So what would be the overall fates of the major characters? My thoughts.

Dorn, Sanguinius, Corax, and Vulkan are all either dead or missing. The Emperor is left crippled on the Golden Throne or he finished the webway project but is completely dead.

Horus is dead as can be, Alpharius is somewhere maybe, Lorgar is praying, and Khan is a daemon prince launching massive wars against the Imperium every thousand years or so.

The Free Legion Primarchs are all still alive and doing their own thing, as the Imperium couldn't devote forces to them until Chaos was defeated.

Magnus is studying and meditating to become a more powerful psyker, as well as hoarding artifacts that improve psychic capabilities in the hopes of ascending as a psychic god. Ferrus is like Scoria on steroids, having begun to mechanically augment himself and studying dark technology to improve humanity through cybernetics, he may have found some working Men of Iron who he intends to fix and release onto the PoA. Fulgrim is the de facto ruler and administrator of the Path,, while still seeking perfection in all forms. While he still sometimes leads armies to battle, he primarily deals with running the path, organizing their armies, and carrying out ceremonial duties.

Lion is alive and ruling his empire

Guilleman has left running of his empire to a senate made up of planetary governors, he is Lord Commander of the Imperium Secondus, commander of all armies and fleets and an observer on the senate. Most recently he led a force of tens of thousands of marines, tens of millions of regular human soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of various xenos auxiliaries against the Tyranids

Leman Russ has gone missing after pursuing Alpha Legion near the Eye of Terror. He is currently presumed deceased by all except the Wolves who continue their war without their father.

I like that, yeah. I feel like each of the Free Legion Primarchs have probably drifted slightly from their original imperatives..

Mortarion rules the Free Realm as its eternal protector. His sons, under Nathaniel Garro, keep the realm untainted by chaos. They use a network of inquisitive people to keep their realm pure.

Perturabo has devoted himself to building technological wonders for the Realm, maintaining the technological superiority of the Free Legions.

Angron has abandoned any official role within the Free Realm and instead leads crusading armies to liberate systems from the opression of their brother-states.

Curze is the Justicar of the Free Realm. He polices the interior and keeps his legion on the prowl for any source of treachery.
