    They also were on their way somewhere else, and the Emperor, and the imperium at large set up the Astronomicon, which is basically a giant beacon to the bugs that screams “there’s food here!”

    Were it not for the imperium, that particular version of the milky way wouldn’t be nearly as fucked as it is, but it would still be pretty fucked because Slannesh would still have been born.
