→The Early Crusade
==The Early Crusade==
Part of the Emperor's vision of human unification was the [[Primarch Project]], meant to be the creation of 20 superhumans to lead the [[Emperor]]'s forces to reclaim the [[galaxy]] in his name. It also saw the creation of the [[Space Marine Legions]] from the [[gene-seed]] samples that survived the scattering of the [[Primarch]]s by the [[Gods of Chaos|Chaos gods]]. These forces would play the major role in the upcoming Great Crusade alongside the [[Imperial Army]], [[Titan Legion]]s, [[Legio Cybernetica]], [[Sisters of Silence]], and [[Custodian Guard]].{{cite thisFn|1}}
The subsiding of the warp storms plaguing much of the galaxy coincided with the end of the Age of Strife. With warp travel feasible again, the Emperor was able to begin the Great Crusade which would create the Imperium. 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{{Fn|1}}.
