    Another example of Imperial horror today, and the intriguing way some planets get disconnected from the reality of the Imperium. I will try to get a bit of a channel update vid out soon, where I will update a few things, and make various announcements - planning on finishing the Assassins stuff - I know ppl want the next Tyranids, and I also have some Miniatures stuff coming too

      Somewhere in the Imperial fleet there was a chamber in which a group of administrative adepts poured over tables of how much materiel in undertrained hands causes how much additional biomass expenditure by the Tyranids, and how valuable it would instead be if transported to other conflict regions. They found the point of optimatily in the difference of the two curves, submitted their findings, and that much materiel was left behind for the Rophanon rebels to use in their entirely futile attempt at fending of their doom, so that their sacrifice may benefit the Empire. May He on the Throne judge them justly.

      Can you imagine trying to use that ultimatum in the Imperium? I mean, I can guarantee that you'd get one of the two options 90% of the time (the other 10% would be made into servitors), but also that which of the options they chose to hand out would never change.
      The Imperium would probably even be quite pleased - finally, a heretic making reasonable demands.

    "Sedition is not something which simply explodes out of nowhere among a calm and peaceful state. We rarely see a population rise in disorder until they feel their backs are against the wall and there's nothing to lose. Most people are satisfied to live lives of relative simplicity, Providing they are housed, fed, and not living in terrible conditions. One might consider another trigger for rebellion against a government or state is when a population feels something has been abruptly or consistently taken away from them. Especially when those things have been the bedrock of a society for generations."

      That might actually be true.

For records, that AI was actually loyal to his previous human crew (they were from the Dark Age of Technology) and consider imperial humans to be an insult to everything humanity stood for.

      Mechanicus/space marine team found it god knows how much later and boarded it. They were in awe how simple the design looked (no gothic monastery theme, Apple/ I am robot futuristic vibe instead).
      The Ai hated them, locked the armor of the marines and when the techpriest started chanting and swinging his holy oil the Ai ridiculed them for how retarded they are, how mlow humanity has fallen. Dont remember if the ship killed the team but in the end it just fucked off.

      Some rebellions do, but they tend to be upper class people doing it out of self-interest. And usually this turns their society into constant war, holding off the Imperium’s constant attempts to reclaim it.

      @@seanbirtwistle649 This planet has plenty of interesting history as well. It begins with administratum bullshit, which becomes the imperiums problem when the people fight back and push back the administratum. Much like the NVA and VC, the Rophanon rebels were under-estimated, and sheer might alone would not subdue them because they and their leaders had experienced it, and knew not to break. However both sides were exhausted by the end, and neither wanted to concede. the NVA/PAVN was willing to do basically anything to re-unify, even if it cost every last man. This means there was no way for the USA/ARVN to "win" short of complete destruction.... much like the imperium here. Unlike reality, 40k has space bugs that eat everything, and so in a perfect 40k twist, the "retreat" was actually just a means to destroy them and another enemy at another time... kind of like the USA did in the 80s-90s by re-casting vietnam as a bungled up mess that was actually won in everything but the end result... and influenced soviet-overconfidence that made things like the failed Afgan invasion possible. Next tyranids will fly a spacehulk into Mars, which will conveniently destroy evidence that the mechanicus was experimenting with new tech.
