Reviving an old thread to talk about stuff I don't know nearly enough about just to humour my arrogance in my thoughts =P.

My problem with Empi being/becoming the Chaos God of Order, is 1. that I feel "Chaos God of Order" is odd, but more importantly that 2. The Chaos Gods, as far as I understand them, are largely created and powered through emotions. But Order is not really an emotion so much as a lack of chaos. Like, when you feel "orderly" you don't feel orderly, you just feel, maybe focused or comfortable or something like that. However, there's one thing I feel that the Imperium has in spades: Zeal, and a desire to cleanse the Xenos and Heretics. So my thought is either Purity (though purity runs into the same problem as Order in that it doesn't really seem like an emotion) and Zeal (which I would argue, can be considered close enough to an emotion to be relevant =P)

I have no evidence to back that up in the canon, but yea.
