The '''Unification Wars''', also known as the '''Wars of Unification''', is the name of an ancient number of conflicts fought at the end of the [[Age of Strife]]. They were spearheaded by the warlord known only as [[The Emperor]] in his attempt at reunifying the shattered tribes and nations of [[Terra]], now ruled largely by [[Techno-Barbarian]] lords. His intentions were to reforge the shattered remnants of Man and create an [[Imperium]] that would bring about a [[Great Crusade]] to bring order to the galaxy.

==Overview==

===Prelude===

By [[M29]], [[Terra]] had been engulfed in the chaos and anarchy of the [[Age of Strife]] for several thousand years. Terra was a violent cauldron divided between city-states, Techno-Barbarian warlords, and various other polities. However as [[Slaanesh]] was close to its birth at the epicenter of the [[Eldar Empire]], the [[Warp Storm]]s plaguing humanity's homeworld becalmed themselves. Sensing the time was right, a being known as [[The Emperor]] finally began his campaign to reclaim Earth.{{Fn|11b}}
