The Galaxy is in ruins. The Emperor's glorious vision for Humanity has been destroyed. A destructive event known only as the Fracturing has blanketed the galaxy in a darkness not seen since the days of Old Night, halting the Great Crusade and tearing apart the nascent Imperium of Man.
In its passing, the Imperium has become a shadow of its former self. The Emperor and Terra have vanished, gone without a trace as warp storms consumed the Sol System. The Primarchs, the twenty gene-forged children of the Emperor and his most capable generals, have been divided by treachery and betrayal in the aftermath. Some have answered the call of the Ruinous Powers and embraced evil, while others have sided with the parody of the Emperor’s Imperium, a religious state driven by the worship of the Emperor as a God. Many more have struck out on their own, forging their own empires across the galaxy.
Now the galaxy is engulfed in an eternal conflict between these powers, each seeking dominance over the others to achieve their goals. While this struggle has continued well into the 41st Millennium, hope yet remains for the Imperium. The Astronomicon has continued to shine, if only barely, giving many hope that the Emperor yet lives and shall return to save Humanity and his sons from themselves.
Until that day, the Primarchs and their legions remain locked in a bitter struggle for dominance, the future of all life within the galaxy resting in their hands whether for better or worse.
In the dark future of the Fractured Imperium, there is only war...
When creating a Space Marine Legion for the Fractured Imperium universe, please ensure you utilise the []Template:Infobox_FILegion|Infobox FILegion]] in order to keep your article uniform with other Fractured Imperium Space Marine Legion pages.
Also be sure to browse through each of the Faction pages on this article, as there are already some Legions that have been created. There might be one that is similar to one you had in mind to create. Though this is unfortunate, try to ensure that you create something unique and original, as this will avoid problems with being accused of plagiarization.
Before you begin the undertaking of writing about a Space Marine Legion, please keep in mind the following rules:
*Size – One of the more important aspects when creating a Space Marine Legion is their size. Typically, most Space Marine Legions numbered anywhere from 7,000 on the low end of the spectrum, all the way to over 250,000 at the peak of the Imperium's technology during the latter years of the Great Crusade. These Legions are massive armies, and the size of each can vary tremendously. Some Legions are very large, while others are not. The size of each Legion is fluid, with the numbers of combat-ready legionaries dependent on the number of new recruits, the inevitable battle-losses, the availability of potential recruits, the administrative skills of the Primarch and his officers and the capabilities of their Empire to support their Legion. Therefore, it has been decided by the community that the following will be put into effect:
**Legions should typically number anywhere from 5,000 to no more than 150,000. Legions who remained faithful to the Imperium and the Imperial Truth are likely to be larger as they have access to more Astartes-specific technology and potentially gene-seed vaults from major Forge Worlds.
*Loyalty – The Faction that your Legion is allied to is very important to its size, weaponry and battle style. There are 3 main loyalties in the universe of Fractured Imperium; Loyal - those who remained loyal to the Imperial Truth and allied with Tybalt Ulric, the Warmaster; Chaos - those who found solace in the Chaos Gods during the Fracturing and allied with them; and Renegade - The Legions who formed their own independent Empires, some of which include multiple Primarchs. Examples of renegade factions are Or'es, Primarch of the First Allies Legion, who are allied with many xenos races as part of the United Species. If you want to join the Empire of another Primarch, please ask the original creator of the Legion.
