. Defend the Imperium of Man
It is the distant future and the Imperium of Man has spread
across the entire galaxy, but our days of expansion are long
past. Once, when the Emperor lead in battle, and the Imperium was
unstoppable. Those days are no more. The Emperor has withdrawn to
Earth to rule from his Golden Throne, leaving a thousand wars of
attrition in his name where defenders die by the billions. There
is little hope for support from Earth and humanity is losing the
battle for survival. The only chance lies with the Space Marines,
genetically modified warriors of superhuman ability and the
pinnacle of human potential. But the Space Marines are few, the
galaxy is large and enemies are countless. The situation is most
dire in sub-sector Aurelia. It is from this cluster of worlds on
the very edge of the Imperium that came the Blood Ravens, a
chapter of the Emperor's own Space Marines. Now savage aliens
seek to overrun the sector, and break the Blood Ravens once and
for all. Captain Davian Thule and a handful of Space Marines lead
the raw recruits defending these worlds. Yet, another Space
Marine prepares to join this desperate battle, a newly promoted
commander, ready to lead in our darkest hour. You are this Space
Marine.
