The Imperium manages to push Abaddon off of Cadia and forces him back into the Eye of Terror, but not before sustaining heavy losses. The Emperor dies upon the Golden Throne, the light of the Astronomicon goes out, and the Webway portal that the emperor has held sealed for millenia opens. The Tyranid fleets that are homing in on the power of the Astronomicon lose focus, and dissipate throughout the galaxy for the first few centuries of the 42nd millenium.

Shortly after the Emperor dies, the Star Child wakes in the depths of the warp. The Star Child provides a new source of guidance for the ships of the Imperium, since it exists in the warp, there is no need for the Astronomicon.

Cegorach returns from his self-imposed exile at the heart of the Black Library, he and Ynnead (the newly born God of Death for the Eldar) manage to break the connection between the Eldar and Slaanesh, but at the cost of a great deal of the Eldar's psychic power.

The Necrons continue to wake, culminating in the awakening of the C'tan, but are defeated by an alliance consisting of Eldar, Tau, and Human, with the Exarchs, Celestials, and the returned Primarchs at the head of the force. The C'tan flee the defeated Necron, but are destroyed by Ynnead and the Star Child working in tandem, the headless Necron are wiped out in the next century. Adeptus Mechanicus are jack-slapped for suggesting they retain some samples for study.

The Tau and the Imperium meet and it is established that both of them will refuse to move into one another's territory. The Tau understand that provoking a war with the Imperium will not serve The Greater Good, and the Imperium is reluctant to start a fight it isnt sure it can win.

The Star Child manifests a portion of itself into the Materium, to serve as the ruler of the Imperium. The Imperium is stripped bare, and rebuilt to be the glorious society it was meant to be. Imperial science returns to innovation, as opposed to adaptation and the Imperium enters into a new Golden Age. The Webway is accessed and provides transport between Human, Eldar, and Tau worlds, the rest is sealed off.

The power of the Star Child prevents psykers from being posessed in all but the most severe of circumstances. The rate of human psykers begins to rise, giving way to a more powerful humanity.

Commorragh remains in the sealed off portion of the Webway. Dark Eldar ships are forced to travel between the stars to prey on other species. Asdrubael Vect attempts to force the Webway open again to allow the Dark Eldar access to the whole once again, in desperation at the lowered amount of souls for the Dark Eldar to consume. The psychic feedback rips the webway surrounding Commorragh apart, exposing its dark denizens to the creatures of the warp. Vect himself is consumed by Slaanesh.

The Orks continue to be Orky.
