Here are the faction overviews for all in game races as well as their background in the 40k universe

== Humans ==

=== Overview === 

In this version, it is a lore-accurate representation of the imperium. You have control of 626 planets, many armies and Battle fleets. You will be under threat from every single other faction in the game. Your military will be overstretched dealing with Orks, Chaos, Necrons, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Tau and many others. You will also be subject to many events. You will also have to endure the Age of Apostasy which you begin in. One advantage is you have an infinite amount of resources and planets at your disposal. At the beginning, you get over 5k of minerals. Can you bring the galaxy to imperial rule? Each 1000 years in the 40k universe is 20 years in game.

=== Lore ===

The Imperium of Man spans for the entire galaxy, covering millions of worlds. The Emperor is the leader of mankind, and through his great crusade, he united the galaxy under his rule. However, humanity is constantly beset by war and death. Humanity has too many enemies and worlds to take care of, resulting in an inefficient bureaucracy. Although humanity still survives through the spilling of millions of its soldiers' blood every day. 

=== General ===

The Imperium has a theocratic monarchy with imperial rule. Your starting traits favor mining and having a large amount of leaders. You are xenophobic, spiritualist and militalist, so having good relations with others will be difficult. You breed rapidly, have long-living leaders due to mechanical implants and are very industrious, further adding to the amount of minerals you collect. 

== Necron ==

* Oruscar Dynasty
* Sautekh Dynasty
* Novokh Dynasty
* Maynarkh Dynasty
* Bone Kingdom
* Kardenath Dynasty

=== Overview ===

=== Lore ===

The Necrons are a mysterious race of robotic skeletal warriors that have lain dormant in their stasis-tombs for more than 60 million Terran years, and who are the soulless creations and former servants of the ancient C'tan, the terrible Star Gods of Eldar myth. The Necrons are ancient beyond reckoning, predating even the birth of the Eldar. At long last, however, they are beginning to awaken from their Tomb Worlds, for the galaxy is ripe for conquest and the restoration of the Necron Empire since the disappearance of the Old Ones more than 60 million standard years ago. The Necrons are a completely robotic humanoid species whose technological prowess is probably unmatched by any of the other intelligent species of the galaxy. Yet out of a desire for vengeance against the more fortunate long-lived ancient xenos race called the Old Ones, and the trickery of the godlike intelligences known as the C'tan, the Necrons shed their original organic forms and lost all forms of compassion and empathy, becoming ruthless, undying killing machines who are determined to exert their mastery over the galaxy once more.

=== General ===

== Eldar ==
Start with one "planet": Craftworld class.

=== Overview ===

=== Lore ===

The Eldar are an ancient humanoid alien race whose vast empire once extended the width and breadth of the known galaxy. Their empire was without equal, and they counted themselves masters of the stars. But millennia ago, their overweening pride and their fall into hedonistic practices led to a cataclysm that all but eradicated their kind and led to the birth of the Chaos God Slaanesh. Despite their boundless power, the heart of their civilization was torn out by this catastrophe of their own making, forcing the surviving Eldar to flee upon gigantic, continent-size starships called Craftworlds. Now they cling to survival by a thread, fighting the horrors of the galaxy with ritualized discipline and consummate skill.

=== General ===

Chaos is the universal and usually malign spiritual force embodied by the malevolent intelligent entities comprised of psychic energy that live in the Warp. Chaos is also itself the turbulent psychic energy that comprises the Immaterium and gives shape to the nightmare domains of the individual Chaos Gods that are collectively called the Realm of Chaos by savants of the Inquisition. The most powerful entities of Chaos are the four great Chaos Gods, Tzeentch, Nurgle, Khorne and Slaanesh, also known as the Ruinous Powers, who each embody one aspect of the greater force of Chaos and can be worshiped individually or as an entire pantheon.

=== General ===

== Tau ==

* Tau - 
* Farsight Enclaves - (still thinking if should be added)

=== Overview ===

=== Lore ===

The Tau are a young, humanoid and technologically-advanced intelligent race native to the Eastern Fringes of the Milky Way Galaxy, who are fighting to expand their interstellar empire and extend a philosophical concept they call the Greater Good to all the intelligent species of the galaxy. The Tau claim to be a peaceful race when possible, asking if others will join their cause voluntarily instead of fighting against them. However, if their peaceful overtures are refused, the Tau may well decide to conquer a planet and add it to their growing interstellar empire for the Greater Good, searing the flesh from the bones of anyone who stands against their benign intentions. Tau society is divided into a number of castes, each responsible for managing a specific aspect of their society. The Tau's central motivating ideal is that everyone in their empire regardless of their species will work for the collective betterment of everyone else, an almost mystical philosophy they call the Greater Good.

=== Lore ===

The Dark Eldar are the forsaken and corrupt kindred of the Eldar, an ancient and highly advanced alien race of fey humanoids. Their armies, like their Eldar counterparts, usually have the advantages of mobility and advanced technology, though they are often lacking in resilience and numbers. The Dark Eldar revel in piracy, enslavement and torture, and are sadistic in the extreme. They strike with little or no warning, using an interdimensional labyrinth known as the Webway to traverse the galaxy safely and far more quickly than most advanced races are able to with their Warp jumps. The Dark Eldar are unique amongst the intelligent races of the Milky Way Galaxy because they do not live on a settled world or worlds, but rather the bulk of their population is concentrated in one foul city-state the Dark City of Commorragh that lies within the Immaterium of the Eldar Webway.

=== General ===

== Tarellians ==

* Tarellians 

=== Overview ===

=== Lore ===

Tarellians, more commonly known in the Imperium of Man as Tarellian Dog-Soldiers because of their snouts and their preference for working as mercenaries for other alien races, are a minor reptilian species of xenos found throughout the galaxy, but are of little consequence to its affairs. The Tarellians possess a zealous hatred for Mankind above all other peoples in the galaxy because of the Imperium's decision to launch Exterminatus attacks upon the Tarellian homeworlds during the Great Crusade in the late 30th Millennium, nearly wiping out their species in a horrific way through the use of Virus Bombs. Billions of their kind were slaughtered in the most horrific manner possible and the Tarellian species never fully recovered from this terrible xenocide. The Imperium's actions, which was a standard response to a meeting with another intelligent alien race during the Great Crusade, destroyed the Tarellian potential to grow into one of the dominant races of the galaxy and created their eternal grudge against all servants of the Emperor of Mankind.

=== General ===

=== General ===

== Rak’Gol ==

* Rak’Gol

=== Overview ===

While chasing prey the Rak’Gol can easily alter its body position so that it can use all eight limbs for locomotion.

Your rivals will be the Yme loc Craftworld and the Calixis sector. however after this your possibilities are endless.

=== Lore ===

After the Eldar Empire was destroyed by the formation of the eye of terror the Eldar were nearly extinct. Only the craftworlds and those in the web way at the time survived. The dark Eldar carried on the decadence and perversion that cause the fall of the empire basing themselves in the port of Commorragh in the web way. They lust for pleasure and so they constantly need slaves to fuel this. The Dark Eldar and raiders lighting quick in their attacks. Remember to not underestimate them.

==== Basic Start ==== 
 
Begin next to the Calixis Sector they should be your first target. Expansion should be relatively easy. However as always war will erupt quickly. Don't underestimate the Rak Gol or they will drown the Dark Eldar in their own guts.

==== United Imperium ==== 

Now it becomes a little harder with all imperial lands united you will find expansion more difficult. Fortunately Calxis is not on the emperors top priorities. However become too aggressive and the United Imperium will crush you like a bug.
