Generating Random Name... Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Is there an Imperial policy on non-interferance with feral/feudal worlds (Apart from the Space Marines recruiting). And also what happens when a chapter builds it's fortress monastery on a planet? Do they share knowldege?

Lord Scytha Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Is there an Imperial policy on non-interferance with feral/feudal worlds (Apart from the Space Marines recruiting).And also what happens when a chapter builds it's fortress monastery on a planet? Do they share knowldege? Not sure what the Imperial Policy is but is pretty sure a chapter could ignore it if they so wished without getting censored for it. Also unless there were some very clandestine reason for the chapter existent they would most definitely share the knowledge of their home world with the High Lord of Terra at least. A chapter is suppose to come to the defence of the imperium and it's kind of hard for them to do that if no one knows where they are. But that's just my gut reaction.

While i agree with you what i meant was can the chapter share Imperial knowledge with the planet's inhabitants?

Grey Hunter Ydalir Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 No, non interference is not a phrase in the Imperial vocabulary. If it's not protected by other ancient laws and treaties, the world is subject to colonization and subjugation. Culture shock is often used to the Imperium's advantage in order to set up a dominant order that will last over time. On Space Marine chapters, it's really up to the chapter. Also unless there were some very clandestine reason for the chapter existent they would most definitely share the knowledge of their home world with the High Lord of Terra at least. I'm not sure that's what he meant. However, Astartes chapters are infamous for being purposely vague, obtuse or even downright obstructive to anyone trying to gather records on their numbers, disposition and so on. Yes they may elevate their home worlds people (Salamanders, Ultramarines) but they may well keep them down in the dirt, feuding and fighting (Space Wolves, White Scars) just to keep them strong.

Ferrata Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 The simple answer is the Imperium (including Astartes) will do whatever it takes to make that planet the most use to the Imperium. That could be keeping it technologically backwards for better recruits or even CC favouring Guard units, or it could mean cutting down all the forests and turning it into a giant factory :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222323-imperial-policy/#findComment-2657656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

While i agree with you what i meant was can the chapter share Imperial knowledge with the planet's inhabitants? Ah, sorry. I thought you meant with the rest of the Imperium. Not a 40k version of the prime directive. that have already been answered by the others. Also unless there were some very clandestine reason for the chapter existent they would most definitely share the knowledge of their home world with the High Lord of Terra at least. I'm not sure that's what he meant. However, Astartes chapters are infamous for being purposely vague, obtuse or even downright obstructive to anyone trying to gather records on their numbers, disposition and so on. But they are still required to answer (though obey might be another matter) to the high lords of Terra and tithe a portion of their gene-seed to the AdMech so odds are pretty good that they at least tell where their mail box is located.

soddinnutter Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 They are not directly subject to the law of the High Lords of Terra. The HLOT can advise them, as for their assistance and send representatives from the Ordo Militum to check up for heresy if accusations are made but the Chapter does not have to obey. Of course repeatedly refusing and acting odd is sure to make people wary. Think of the number of Ultramarine descendants to Dark Angels. Both have 100% pure genetic material but there are 10X as many smurfs as cross dressers. The AdMech do not need to know where they live to collect the gene-tithe. The chapter could leave a stasis crate at pre-determined coordinates with the bio-matter in.

The HLOT can advise them, as for their assistance and send representatives from the Ordo Militum to check up for heresy if accusations are made but the Chapter does not have to obey. The problem is that this is the grey area. Yes, the Space Marines answer only to Emperor, but the HLoT are Emperor's representatives, charged with governance of His realm. And given the Imperial policy of "If you aren't with us, you are against us.", I would be wary of directly refusing the HLoT demand(s). The AdMech do not need to know where they live to collect the gene-tithe. The chapter could leave a stasis crate at pre-determined coordinates with the bio-matter in. Or send it directly to Mars.
