WH40K Homebrew: Unified Terran Federation

Let's say the DAoT Humanity awoken from cryostasis sleep after Man of Iron Wars. Here’s some TLDR Lore.

Earth Resource Crisis/Second Cold War (M3) – Earth suffers a shortage of Natural Resources. Europe unites into a Continental Super Nation where China does the same uniting all of Asia. As well, the dispute of the resource consolidation between America, Europe, Asia and Russia results in the four powers undergoing a split between four alliances.

World War 3 (M3) – Tensions over controlling the last resources degenerates into all-out war with conventional and unconventional warfare with the usage of nuclear weapons resulting in a high death toll.

Unification of Earth and the Birth of the Federation (M3) – Realizing how much the world has almost been annihilated with nuclear weapons, the Superpowers force a treaty and unite to form the Federation and thus with the remaining resources, they decide to use it for space colonization to find new resources.

Colonization of the Solar System (M3 – M10) – Mars is colonized as well as various planets of the solar system. Colonization leads to the creation of terraforming technologies, thus Mars becomes a first planet to be terraformed resulting in the planet becoming fertile and breathable.

Age of Extragalatical Colonialism (M10 – M25) – Humanity begins to expand further into the outer galaxy and the human population begins a mass migration to the new colonies to deal with the overcrowding of colonies back on the solar system.

Age of Advanced Technological Innovation (M15 – M25) – During this time, humanity spends its efforts and research creating new technologies. This leads to the creation of technology capable of reconstructive regeneration of the body along with technology capable of prolonging human life. This also leads to the development of destructive weapons such as Volkite Weapons, Baneblades and much more. Thus leading to massive human decadence with the dependency on machines.

Lore Part 2

Alien First Contact (M22) – Humanity makes first contact with the Orks and the Eldar, where as a result of meeting leads to all-out war.

Era of Colonial Uprisings and the Synth Rebellion(M25) – Humanity having become dependent on android synthetics for menial labour and military, this leads to corruption from an entity called the (Classified) resulting in the synths turning on Humanity. The same goes for the rise of Anti-Federation Sentiment with Civil Wars due to the ideas of Sectorial Nationalism and Regionalism demanding independence for planets, systems and sectors. The Rebellions combined results in 3/4 of the Human population killed off on a span of 250 years.

Failed Restoration and Second Rebellion (M25) – Having put down the colonial rebellions and synths, the Federation attempts to restore all its colonies, but colonies still unsatisfied commence a second rebellion resulting in a failure of the restoration. Thus 90% of the entire remaining human population began rebelling for the second time (Said rebels are remnants of Rebel Groups, opportunists taking advantage of the understaffed Federation, Military/Law-Enforcement personnel who have rebelled or deserted and took matters into their own hands with the weakened Federation government or people who are pissed at the Federation for stuff that happened in the Synth Rebellion) where the remaining 10% of humanity maintain loyalty to the Federation.

TLDR Lore Part 3

The Great Exodus (M25 – M26) – Losing all control of their colonies, the Federation plan an exodus by settling on new worlds until the situation boils over. The remaining loyal 10% of the entire human population have the privilege of migrating and settling on various planets far from former territories, which to explain again, this is due to the entire billion 10% of humanity being pro-federation by having maintained their oath and pledge of allegiance. However, the unlucky quadrillion 90% of the entire remaining human population who were entirely anti-federation and pro-secession are left to rot thinking they can thrive and form new regimes without the Federation. Humanity having completed the migration decide to wait for the situation to boil over through cryostasis slumber.

Finally Part 3

Era of Slumber/Hibernation Period (M26 – M42) – Having succeeded in the exodus in colonizing uninhabited worlds with the entire remaining loyal 10% population (Billion estimated), all of the Federation are put to sleep with some loyal AIs left to maintain to guard the sleeping population. Meanwhile, there is the Fall of the Eldar where Hedonism results in the birth of the Chaos God Slaanesh consuming most of the Eldar souls and all Eldar worlds creating the Eye of Terror. Age of Strife is ensuing where without Federation authority, chaos reigns in all over the galaxy. The birth and rise of the Imperium of Man leading to the Great Crusades in the unification of all former Federation colonies. Thus in an irony, the remaining Anti-Federation 90% that had willingly stayed behind on the colonies end up rotting as a result of anarchy and badly planned authority, where at the same time eventually the Imperium annexes them. The Imperium however degenerates as a result of their leader’s death from a civil war, thus turning the Imperium into a Collectivized Religious Dictatorship where people worship their leader, which that is similar to how Orwell envisioned it in his classic old book dating 40th Millennia’s back called 1984 with the worship of Big Brother. Many events ensue leading to the rise of Chaos, Incursion of the Tyranid Swarm, awakening of the Necrons and the spread of the Tau.

Awakening and the Reclamation (M42 – Onwards) – With the timer set to awaken in the 42nd Millennia, various Federation Enclaves emerge from their frozen sleep and begin their protocol to reclaim all of the former colonies and Terra under the banner of the Federation. Thus First contact between the Imperium results in an all-out war where a new competitor joins the match in the events.

DAoT is boring.

>Awakening and the Reclamation

Also you just made shit tier Necrons.

That is sorta the inspiration I had.

I like what you've done, but it'd fit the 40k lore better if a small cadre of Men of Gold awoke from cryo-slumber, and were absolutely appalled at what the genetrash Men of Stone were doing to the galaxy. They are few in number, and so mostly use subjugated races and constructs to do their dirty work, with actual Men of Gold only being available as HQ, or possibly a single Elite slot (possibly for half-breeds.)

Politically, likely their only potential allies would be dEldar. It might actually be fun making a faction with a positive alliance chart with dEldar.

Think something like Skorne from Hordes, but with less S&M, and more NotRome-Themed superiority complex

The Federation are in away much more smaller than the Imperium due to again 10% of the population remaining loyal to the Feds. Whereas 90% whom were anti-fed, while lets say that number has went way up over the years the feds were haitus.

(Pre-Strife)
- Libertarianism
- Democracy
- Republicanism
- Capitalism
- Militaristic
- Risorgimento Nationalism
(Post-Strife)
