Primarch Project
For a list of Primarchs, see Primarch.
The Primarch Project was part of the Emperors plan to create an army of super-human warriors. The Emperor had already been fighting on Terra with genetically modified warriors, but these Primarchs was his attempt to create generals to lead his warriors. It was begun in M29 with the aim to create 20 cloned 'children' of the Emperor with improved strength, agility and intelligence over the already impressive Space Marines (almost rivaling the Emperor in cases) making them ideal for leading their Legions. The facility to create these Primarchs was constructed on Terra and the Emperor oversaw the project, having them grown in accelerated gene culturing chambers. His scientists watched over the growing men in their chambers, afraid of what would happen if anything went wrong. Unfortunately, all the planning and effort that went into creating the Primarchs was almost wasted when they were whisked away by a Chaos portal created directly above the facility. This means that the great powers of Chaos must have known about these mighty warriors, and had been afraid.
