The seas have been boiled by atomic fire, and the earth soured by the blood of billions. Starved of resources, embroiled in conflict, and degraded by a thousand years of ceaseless war, cruel Techno-Barbarian Warlords call themselves masters of the broken ruins of mankind’s birthplace. Terra, the cradle-world and heart of this once great empire, has not been spared. A galaxy-spanning empire has been reduced to shattered and disparate pockets of men and women trying to scrape out a meager existence, easy prey for the alien, the mutant, and worse. The light of civilization gutters and fades as the Long Night threatens to consume humanityĪs the thirtieth millennium draws to a close, it seems that any hope for humanity may be finally lost.
