* CurbStompBattle: The Battle of Gaduere saw five-thousand of the Emperor's gene-crafted Thunder Warriors defend themselves against forty-thousand hastily-assembled rebels. Not a single Thunder Warrior ends up with so much as a ''scratch'' while the rebels are ''ripped apart'' so quickly that Uriah was left dumbfounded as to how so many people could simply die so quickly.

In the 31st Millennium, the Emperor of Mankind is on the verge of conquering, saving it from a slow and painful death at the hands of warring techno-barbarian tribes. Infrastructure is rebuilt, quality of life improves dramatically and countless tyrants are slain by His genetically-engineered [[SuperSoldier super soldiers:]] the Thunder Warriors. Building the foundation for the Emperor's greatest gift to humanity: The Imperium of Man. Unfortunately, a big part of the Emperor's plan is the systematic destruction of religion and replacing it with the atheistic "Imperial Truth." Ostensibly to free humanity from ignorance and superstition, but in truth, to starve the gods of Chaos and save humanity from their demonic influence.
