Even before the warp storms and the Age of Strife had ended, the Emperor had begun to make plans for the Great Crusade. These plans included the creation of a far more advanced form of power armour required for the conditions of deep space and alien worlds<sup>2</sup>.
After securing [[Luna]] and then [[Mars]], he began a great building project, reconstructing the industries and production facilities he would need to construct and maintain a great space fleet, sufficient to carry his legions all the way to the edges of the galaxy. Mars, due to its advanced technology and manufacturing infrastructure, became the center of this development, producing, along with ships, the arms and armor his warriors would be equipped with<sup>2</sup>.[[Saturn]], [[Neptune]], and [[Jupiter]] fell to the Emperor next, its inhabitants liberated from cruel alien overlords. Finally, the Imperial War Fleet broke out of the [[Sol System]] system after completely annihilating the "false world" of [[Sedna]].{{Fn|}}
