  • The galaxy is an incredibly large place, divided up by the Imperium into the Segmentae Majoris to aid with logistics. In a slightly different log, we shall explore how the Milky Way is laid out, whilst looking as well at the newest feature to it, the Cicatrix Maledictum.
    Please note that some of the statistics and data regarding the Milky Way in this video are potentially NOT consistent with the real Milky Way galaxy.

    I like to believe the old ones were capable of escaping the Milky Way and now live in a peaceful galaxy with a nice, calm warp mapped onto it (no chaos) reflecting beings without terrible emotions and beliefs.
    Sometimes they think back to the Milky Way as like a nightmare flat they lived in as students and laugh about it.

    Realistically about a third of the vessels that are "lost" in the warp are likely to have simply been spat out in a separate Galaxy with no way back , after all the warp can literally do anything, a random warp fart is entirely capable of escaping the galaxy, though once there there is zero likely hood that you'll be able to ride a similar warp fluctuation back

    Another tough bit about using warp travel across vast, unpeopled wastes is that the warp is the stuff from the minds of intelligent beings.
    Is the understood structure and rules of the warp local to the Milky Way simply a reflection of the minds that fuel it?
    Does the warp act differently in other galaxies because it feeds on different stuff?
    Are the time frames and rules for warp transit the same in the open waste between galaxies? Why should it be? Slaanesh was a very local thing, if it is already one of the great powers, doesn't that seem to indicate a rather limited scope to Chaos?
    Does this indicate that Chaos really IS the great deceiver because the expanding universe really is governed by rules, laws, not Chaos.
    Perhaps, the evil of Chaos is really only a crappy middle manager.

  • @Ben-ip5xd
    @Ben-ip5xd Před 5 lety

    As I understand it the Warp is generated by the creatures living in the material plane. The only creatures living outside the galaxy are (so far as we know) the tyranids. Therefore the only way to travel beyond the galaxy via the warp would be to coast along the shadow in the warp, though this would only lead to whatever galaxy(ies) the Tyranids are coming from, which I presume no one would ever want to do.

    I legit thought that the Makarian Heresy (probably spelled that wrong) had something to do with Ghazkull's luck grot called Makari.
    I really thought that he either tried a grot revolution or tried to overthrow Maddoc Grotsnic, the pain doc who first saved Ghaz, and then later took over when when he disappeared.

    Let us not forget the Idiocy of The Dark Angels to call all unforgiven chapters to hunt the fallen near the cycatrix maladictum losing a lot of chapters in the Warp during this process and almost starting a civil war with the Imperium because Gulliman found them clustered like abandoned puppys on the sidewalk
    But at least they got new chapters that they want to kill because they don't trust primaris

    There's also the fact that The Tyranids are out there in the void and in fat greater numbers. It's also possible that one might find themself in a galaxy that is fully overrun by hive fleets.

      Leon Valenzuela - that DOES sound like a great place to start for origin of your chapter! You could go heavy with terminator or deep strike capability because they are based on ships and short on atmospheric craft (forcing your chapter to rely heavily on teleportation) good luck& have fun

    Small detail, but forced labor could mean prison work camps (not that that would be much better or even just) and the Imperium takes children and turns them into Space Marines and other elite warriors, slavery would be just another awful thing that the Imperium uses to keep going.

    Wait a sec...if BAAL is in ultima segmentum, then why are they on the otherside of imperium nihilus...?

    • @TacticaImperialis
      @TacticaImperialis  Před 3 lety

      Because Ultima Segmentum is huge and encompasses the entire eastern galaxy, and the Maledictum is diagonal and so cuts through rather than around it. This is why, say, Ultramar is in Imperium Sanctus whilst Baal is in Nihilus despite them sharing the same Segmentum.

    Traveling by warp to other galaxy? Well, I dont think so. Warp is in a constant storm, yes. But Astronomicon helps to travel in the galaxy. But why is warp in such state? Coz of all the life feeding it in the galaxy. My supposition would be that the further you go away from a galaxy, the less there is life, thus less emothions to feed warp, thus warp would be progressivly calmer the further you go away from a galaxy.
