“Give yourself fully to all duties and routines as have been allotted to you. Attend to these to the best of your skill and of your endeavour. Be earnest in your praise of the Emperor. Be vigilant in the scrutiny of your fellows. When called to fight, do so with fervour and righteousness. Do not submit to fear!”
–Words of wisdom recorded upon south flank of the Tower of Martyrs, Terra

Divided into countless arms, each often at odds with the others, the Imperium grinds along in its quest to fulfil the Emperor’s will.
