Editing MedHammer 40,000 (section)

==Current Epoch (M41-)==
The Imperium fights on, but loses ground to the Ynnari, the Chaos-corrupted [[Corvus Corax]] and the treacherous [[Mars]]. The remaining loyal [[Medhammer_40,000_Primarchs|Primarchs]] hold out hope for their Father’s recovery and force their enemies to pay dearly for every planet taken, with rips forming in the Imperium's middle. At one point [[Terra]] will come close to the edge of annihilation.

===The Martian [[Heresy]]===
Losing [[Mars]] along with the majority of the other [[Forge World|Forge Worlds]] is a [[Horus Heresy|Horus Heresy-tier]] disaster for the [[Imperium]]. Even if a minority of the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]m including [[Primaris|Cawl]] stays loyal to the [[Emperor]], it's not looking good for the Imperium's logistics, production, maintenance... Anything which the Mechanicus does, which is much of the things that keeps the Imperium functioning. With this rebellion and dealing with all of the other problems and enemies at the same time, the Imperium is going to be screwed in this scenario. Especially if the Mechanicus allies/joins with the [[Dark Mechanicum]] and [[Chaos]].

This will still be so even if the [[Dark Angels]] implement their contingency plan they've long had in place in case of this very Martian rebellion ([[Exterminatus]]-ing Mars?). Which they may do eventually, [[derp|but considering they're already occupied in places very far away from Mars, they will likely not be able to do so any time soon.]]

Even if the Emperor and [[Roboute_Guilliman|Big R. Girlyman]] are going to pull some ([[Mary Sue]]) shenanigans in the Warp 10,000 years later or whatever [[bullshit]], the Imperium is still gonna be screwed in the meantime. And so much for this setting being [[grimdark|"grimlight."]] [[Troll|Also, say hello to the]] [[Tyranids|Tyranids.]]

===Xenos===
With enemies looking for blood including the resurgent Eldar, [[Orks]], [[Tyranids]] and [[Necrons]], the Imperium will quickly buckle and lose ground.

====The Eldar====

As the Craftworld Eldar tend to their fraying truce with the Imperium or resort to underhanded tactics, a new generation of Eldar has rallied behind calls for a restoration of the [[Eldar Empire]]. These Eldar have observed the Imperium's successes against the Forces of Chaos as proof not only of the potential for victory against Chaos, but also as proof of the ineffectiveness and failing leadership of the Craftworld Eldar. While in the canonical setting the quest for Ynnead is welcomed by many Craftworlds, here the Ynnari movement becomes openly hostile to other Craftworlds and their leadership. The Ynnari are far more fanatical and ruthless than in the standard setting, nor do they have love for humanity. To them, the Craftworlds stand in the way of a Great Eldar resurgence.

Craftworlds are on the lookout for Ynnari assassins and thieves, who kill major leaders and steal relics and soulstones. Under Yvraine, the chosen champion of Ynnead, the Ynnari hope to overthrow what they view as corrupt, quibbling, and decadent leadership among the Eldar and Drukhari, and replace Craftworld governments with [[Ynnead]]-appointed leaders.

====The T'au====

The T'au Empire possessed highly advanced weapons, but were conquered and envassalled by [[Roboute Guilliman]] and his [[Ultramarines]] [[Space Marine Legions|Legion]].
