"In darkness, I shall be light
In times of doubt, I shall keep faith
In throes of rage, I shall hone my craft
In vengeance, I shall have no mercy
In the midst of battle, I shall have no fear
In the face of death, I shall have no remorse"

We once prospered.
A vast empire of trillions with massive colonial expanses were the ancestors of mankind, providing a safe bastion of life for all it sheltered. All of this and its wonders, reduced to rubble and ash; all over political indifferences that plagued the home world of Terra. Very little is known of the end times and what followed, but this -
Centuries of warfare purged Terra, the birthplace of humanity, into a darkness that would last ten millennia. With the head of the snake severed, the colonies soon became far too distant and disconnected and died a slow, dark, hopeless death of starvation and despair.
At the dawn of the 30th millennium, the dust and ashes left from the final great war began to disperse, showing the remnants of humanity the skies once more. The sun, known to most as S##,#####################ht, and life to Terra once more and ignited the revival of mankind.
But even this growth inspired by Sol was mired by humanity's dark past. Years of warfare had lead to societies being defined by savage violence, and the culture of the techno barbarian arose. In many places where there was hope at being blessed by SoI's light, it was quickly replaced by oppression as these barbarians moved to crush any opposition. Due to the indiscriminate slaughter now created by these barbarian hordes, a military sect known as the Luna Wolves emerged and united the North American continent under a single banner. Led by the zealous Lord Solar and his warlords, they created an elite breed of soldiers known as brother marines, the children of Sol. Held together by faith and hope for the betterment of mankind under Sol, the marines reclaimed all of Terra and formed Sol Imperialis, the Imperium of the Sun.
Lord Solar's campaign of enlightenment was marked by constant warfare across the globe and the creation of a new Terran culture based around progression. With his armies, Lord Solar took the fight to the techno barbarian hordes and routed them to the corners of Terra, where he engaged in a final great battle against them. Spearheaded by his elite Custodian bodyguards, the battle was one of the final blows against the barbarians. The survivors were put to the sword, either to join Lord Solar's cause or perish at the hands of his noble warriors, the brother marines.
Lord Solar then divided his massive army into legions, and pointed his newly formed legions to the stars, where much of humanity's lost civilizations lied in ruin like Terra before its reclamation. The Imperium knew they were destined to reclaim all of their colonies under the light of Sol and return humanity to its rightful place in power and prosperity.
The Imperium now prepares to launch it's Great Crusade to purge all enemies of mankind from the Sol System, giving humanity room to prosper and grow.
