Dark Compliance

In the 30th Millenium, when a world was liberated - or subjugated - by the forces of the Great Crusade, or willingy joined the ever-expanding domains of the Imperium of Mankind, it was said that it achieved Imperial Compliance, the Dark Compliance is a cruel mockery of this noble endeavour. The term has since become a byword for countless atrocities, having been coined during the dark days of the Horus Heresy and the Warmaster’s rebellion against his rightful Emperor for those worlds that were subjugated militarily or somehow coerced to seceed from the Imperium and join Horus’ shadow empire.
