  • Following the end of "Old Night" (the Age of Strife), the Emperor of Mankind finally revealed Himself to the people of Terra. In secret, He had been planning for this moment in history for millennia, ever since the Age of Strife had fractured what remained of the ancient human federation which had once stretched across a part of the galaxy. The Emperor moved to create the military organisations He would need to begin the reunification of Mankind, and He used the raw materials at hand after millennia of savage conflict between the techno-barbarian nation-states of Old Earth. When the Emperor unified Terra the Lords of Mars scrutinised the unfolding events with envious eyes, and some among them recognised a kindred spirit, for the Emperor was to them a man of science who valued the machine and technological advancement, while others saw only a deadly new power to be feared. Some Tech-priests even began to equate the Emperor with their own Machine God in fulfillment of ancient prophecies and debate raged on Mars as whether or not to treat the Emperor as saviour or enemy. The Emperor was not ignorant of such facts, for He too had watched the Red Planet from afar and made his plans accordingly. The Emperor sought a negotiated alliance with the Mechanicum Parliament. In return for supplying materials for his armies and building a mighty war fleet for his Great Crusade into the stars, the Emperor promised to protect the Tech-priests and respect the sovereignty of their Forge Worlds scattered across the galaxy, affording them a level of independence unequalled within the Imperium. Furthermore, the Emperor gave to the service of the Mechanicum six of the Houses of the Navigators to replace their long dead thrall-Navigators, so that their ships might once again travel safely through the Warp. Given such an incentive Mars assented to an alliance with the nascent Imperium in the Treaty of Mars, and the powerful Fabricator-General was given a seat on the War Council of the Great Crusade. And so, Mars lent its arts to the construction of the massive Warp-capable Battleships that could transport the Emperor's Space Marine Legions across the galaxy.
