In the distant future, humanity, united under the banner of the Imperium, rules the stars. The Imperium is a theocratic dictatorship that worships the immortal Emperor, whose body rests on a Golden Throne on Terra (Earth). The Imperium is in a state of perpetual war. He is threatened from all sides by xenos: Orcs, eager for battle; Eldar, experiencing the decline of their civilization; Tau, striving for the "Highest Good"; tyranids, devouring everything in their path. But the main enemy of the Imperium is Chaos. The warping energies of the Warp, a parallel dimension, fuel the dark gods: Khorne, god of blood and war; Tzeentch, god of change and intrigue; Nurgle, god of decay and disease; and Slaanesh, god of excess and pleasure. Humanity is constantly fighting for survival, relying on the vast armies of the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard), genetically modified Space Marine warriors (Adeptus Astartes), the Inquisition, fighting heresy and mutation, and many other organizations. War is the norm. Technology is stagnating, and faith and fanaticism are the main tools. There is almost no hope for a better future. The Fate of the Imperium

In the distant future, in the 41st millennium, humanity united under the banner of the Imperium of Mankind. It is ruled by an immortal God-Emperor, chained to a Golden Throne on Terra (Earth). The Imperium is a totalitarian, religious state mired in wars and superstitions. Humanity is threatened by numerous enemies: Chaos: Demonic forces born from the emotions of mortals in the Warp (parallel dimension). Chaos consists of four main gods: Khorne (god of war and blood), Tzeentch (god of change and intrigue), Nurgle (god of disease and decay) and Slaanesh (god of excess and pleasure). Orcs: Green-skinned humanoids who live for war and violence. Their society is based on strength, and they are constantly fighting each other and other races. Eldar (Aeldari): An ancient race that once ruled the galaxy, but fell due to their pride and debauchery, giving birth to the god Slaanesh. They are split into several factions, including those living on huge ship worlds, the dark Eldar (Drukari), worshippers of pain, and the Harlequins, servants of the Laughing God. Necrons: An ancient race that transformed themselves into immortal cyborgs. They are waking up from centuries of slumber to regain their former greatness. Tyranids: A sentient, galaxy-devouring swarm of monstrous creatures led by a collective mind. They are constantly evolving, adapting to new conditions. Tau: A young race that believes in a "Higher Good" and strives to unite the galaxy under its leadership. The Imperium is being protected: Space Marines (Adeptus Astartes): Genetically modified super soldiers, the elite of the Imperium. Imperial Guard (Astra Militarum): Untold hordes of ordinary soldiers who make up the bulk of the Imperium's army. Adeptus Mechanicus: Priests of the cult of the Machine who worship technology and maintain the complex machinery of the Imperium. The Inquisition: A secret police force that monitors the purity of the Imperium and fights against heresy and mutants.

The Imperium of Humanity is a vast, interstellar empire ruled as a theocratic dictatorship. Power is concentrated in the hands of several key organizations:

1. God is the Emperor of Mankind: Formally, he is the head of the Imperium, but in fact he does not participate in government because of his fortune on the Golden Throne. His will is interpreted by the High Lords of Terra.
2. The High Lords of Terra: A council of the twelve most powerful figures of the Imperium, ruling on behalf of the Emperor. Includes the heads of the Adeptus Terra and the Adeptus Astartes. They suffer from intrigues and power struggles.
3. Adeptus Terra: A huge bureaucratic machine divided into many departments (Adepta). Consists of: Ecclesiarchy (Adeptus Ministorum): A state church that preaches the cult of the Emperor. Controls the religious aspects of the Imperium's life. Administratum: Responsible for the administration of the Imperium, including tax collection, logistics, and maintaining order. The Adeptus Arbites: Law enforcement agencies that maintain law and order. Adeptus Astra Telepathica: Responsible for communication between the planets of the Imperium with the help of psykers. Adeptus Mechanicus: A semi-autonomous organization based on Mars. He worships technology as sacred relics. Provides the Imperium with equipment, weapons and ships. The Inquisition: A secret organization that hunts down heretics, mutants, and demons. It is divided into Ordos specializing in various threats (Ordo Xenos - aliens, Ordo Hereticus - heresy, Ordo Malleus - demons). Has huge powers. Officio Assassinorum: A corps of professional assassins used to eliminate particularly dangerous targets.

4. The Armed Forces: Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard): The main military force of the Imperium, consisting of trillions of soldiers from different planets. Adeptus Astartes (Space Marines): Genetically modified super-soldiers divided into Orders. Each Order is governed by its own Statutory Temple and has its own traditions. Adeptus Custodes: The Emperor's personal guard, guarding him on Terra. Sisters of Battle (Adepta Sororitas): Armed nuns who are fanatically devoted to the Emperor.
5. Autonomy: The planets of the Imperium have varying degrees of autonomy, but all obey Imperial laws and pay taxes. There are forge worlds (under the control of the Adeptus Mechanicus), agrarian worlds, hive worlds (overpopulated megacities), and other types of planets. The Imperium is a clumsy, corrupt and extremely cruel system, but it is the only barrier between humanity and extinction.

Orcs are a warlike, green–skinned race that lives for the sake of fighting and violence. In their society, the principle "who is stronger is right." They do not have a single centralized structure, but they have common organizational features.:

1. Warboss: The largest and strongest orcs, leading tribes and armies. They seize power by force of brute force and charisma. Their power is based on a constant demonstration of strength and the ability to lead to victory.
2. Nobs: The elite of the Orcs, the largest and most experienced warriors who make up the personal guard of the Warboss. They hold high positions in the hierarchy due to their strength and dedication.
3. Boyz Orcs: The majority of orcs, warriors who live for the sake of fighting. They are divided into different types depending on weapons and equipment: jester-boys (with automatic weapons), melee-boys (with axes or swords), commandos (more secretive and tactful), etc.
4. Gretchiny (Grottoes): Small and weak orcoids used as servants, workers, and human shields. They are despised and oppressed, but they are essential to the functioning of orc society.
5. Weird Guys (Virdboys): Orc psykers capable of releasing psychic energy Waaagh! (the collective psychic field of the Orcs). Their abilities are unpredictable and often dangerous, but they are valued for their ability to strengthen orcs in battle.
6. Mechanics (Mekboys): Orcs with a natural talent for engineering. Collect and upgrade weapons, vehicles, and other devices from debris and debris. Their creations are often unreliable, but they are very effective.
7. Painboys: Orc medics who treat and modify orc bodies. They use crude and painful methods, but they are able to bring orcs back into service after severe injuries.

8. Waaagh!: The Orcs' collective psychic field, enhancing their fighting spirit, physical characteristics, and even technique. The more orcs gather together, the stronger Waaagh becomes!, the more likely a large-scale invasion will occur. Waaagh! It is a key factor in the success of the Orcs in the war.
9. Clans: Orcs often form clans based on common interests or geographical origin. Different clans have different preferences in weapons, tactics, and fighting style. Goffs: The most aggressive and warlike clan, preferring close combat. Evil Suns: Obsessed with speed and powerful engines. Deathwing: Thieves and looters collecting trophies and weapons from the battlefield. Blood Axes: More pragmatic and organized orcs, sometimes hired as mercenaries. Snakebites: Cultivate a primitive lifestyle and use animals in battle. Freebooters: Orc pirates who loot spaceships and colonies. In general, the Orcs are a chaotic and unpredictable force driven by a thirst for battle and violence. They don't have complicated strategies or long-term plans, but their brute strength, numbers, and Wow! They make them one of the most serious threats to the galaxy.
