State of the Dark Times

The State of the Dark Times were written by the High Lords of Terra. They have assessed the Galaxy after the Great Leap on 2066, and compiled their reports.

Eldar
The Eldar, cunning as they are survived the Great Leap. Sources confirm most Craftworlds to be accounted for. Their intentions remain unclear to us, but different Craftworlds may have different ideas.

We hear unconfirmed reports of an "Eldar Empire" in the making by one of the Craftworlds. If we will compete for planets with them, then we will show no mercy.

Necrons
It is unknown if any Necron Tomb Worlds survived the Great Leap, and if they did, they are inert, and only waiting to be awakened.

Tau
Reports confirmed the destruction of the Tau Empire. Their homeworld and Septs are no more. The Tau were among the original signatories to the Cosmic Defence Coalition, but the alliance served it's benefits in guaranteeing reduced aggression toward the Eastern Fringe. Seeing that they did not survive, we are free to operate as we like in their region.

One faction calling themselves the Farsight Enclaves remain however. While survivors are likely rallying around it, we are yet to see whether they will become a threat to the Imperium. Their lack of Ethereal caste are to note.

Cosmic Defence Coalition
The Cosmic Defence Coalition, despite participation via the Genji Empire can potentially remain a threat. The alliance has at times showed itself as incoherent with it's fair share of infighting. It has seen a schism into the Second Terra Treaty and the so-called "League of Freedom". Volatility of the alliance is something the Imperium can exploit in a potential conflict, and we expect the Genji to fall in our line.
