	The concept is not entirely gone, however. [[Xenology]] references an Eldar artfifact depicting a child enveloped in sunlight, which, considering its origins, is most likely [[Ynnead]]. Unlike the Star Child, Ynnead is born of Eldar souls, but can still be considered to be descended from the original idea. Additionally the idea of the Emperor being able to reincarnate may have been reused for the concept of [[Perpetual]]s.		The concept is not entirely gone, however.

	This said, the most recent fluff from the Dawn of Fire series suggests that something similar to the Star Child may be coming round again, even mentioning the prior fluff in context. Both Imperium and Chaos are alarmed by the possibility occurring again. Given the Dawn of Fire series' minor tendency for recontextualizing much older fluff into a form that better fits the current 40k canon (~~Illyian Natase~~, for instance), it remains to be seen if it will end up resembling the original idea at all.

	The Star Child has also been depicted as, essentially, the "Good" half of the Emperor's soul, with the portion still bound to the Golden Throne as his "Lawful" half. In this take, the Star Child is the Emperor's manifest compassion, kindness, decency, hope, love and other positive emotions, which he cast from himself as "weakness" when he slew [[Horus]]. For this reason, the Star Child taking over from the Emperor would also be a net step up from the Imperium, since it would by its nature bring a force of active goodness back to the [[grimdark]] universe. Even in its nascent state, it still seeks to try and push back against the evil of the 40K universe, operating through the [[Sensei]], which are kind of like [[Chaos Champion]]s of the Star Child and the Chaotic Good to the ''actual'' Chaos Champions being Chaotic Evil.
