I think the idea behind the "democratic activists" campaign is to turn the entire Imperium, or at least vast swathes of it, into a democracy or republic. Not just a single planet since, as you mentioned, there already are democracies and republics out there.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That's at least triple heresy.

[Sirus]

Thus the "without asshatting with Chaos" and "avoiding extermination" bits

[Frumple]

Mm... yeah, re: xenos I distinctly remember non-killy imperial interaction with kroot mercenaries. Hell, from what I recall, at some point the imps have even used ork mercenaries without the inquisitorial hammer coming down on anyone. There's also ogrym, rat men and such, the entire Mechanicus... point being, that "purge the xeno, the mutant, and the heretic", is actually not as iron-clad a goal as certain members of the imperium like to make it out to be.

Mind you, the imperium isn't exactly tolerant, not even in the sense, say, the mongols or roman empire were, but they're not completely unwilling to work with the aberrant or inhuman. Just mostly.

[Robsoie]

Very dependant if the inhuman aberrant is trying to kill/eat/mutate/corrupt/mind control you or your soul.

For the record, there is a general 40K thread for discussions (see link in sig) about the 40K lore and universe. I suggest you move this discussion over there so that people who have questions for the game and such don't get drowned out.

Oh, and the OP of that thread has some useful links for those interested in background.

[Scoops Novel]

I'm surprised that 40k's lore does well enough to support books. Where's the charm, in your opinion? The main thing to my mind is the kitchen sink setting giving you options.

[Hetairos]

Great. Orks are spreading faster than I can purge them, Tyranids are eating entire star systems, and now apparently "the barrier between the real world and the Immaterium grows thinner", which I suppose means Chaos is going to join the party. Wish me luck.

who's up for a blay with your buddies? one chapter each, ship based chapter, I'll be running master+guards with scouts and everything else will be up to you.

What fun things can I do with a demon-infested artifact?

[a1s]

Give it to the guard

[Sergarr]

Give it to the guard

can you give it to inquisition for shit and giggles?

[Blaze]

Spoiler: Giving it to the Inquisition... (click to show/hide)

Actually haves them seal it away, nets a message different from regular artifact gifts, and gives quite a reputation bonus.

Or they could be horribly sarcastic as I didn't check the my reputation for changes afterwards.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The Inquisition would want to be given chaos artifacts. The puritans want to seal/destroy them, and the radicals want to cackle euphorically as they "turn the Ruinous Powers unto themselves". (Warning: Radicalism may lead to death, heresy, and unbound daemonhosts, listed in ascending order of undesirability.)

Having some trouble with this.  Found a STC Fragment, and sent some marines down.  Does not do anything?  How do I collect it?

Planet was taken by Tau, but no one is there when I show up.  I leave some troops on the ground, and it toggles back and forth between Tau and Imperial every couple of turns with no combat.  Population is Zero.  No enemy forces present.

And how do I increase geneseed, or otherwise increase income?  Die in ground battles and collect 2 for each 1 fallen?  is there a good way to farm this?  small raids perhaps?

If I want additional ships or recruiting planets, is the only way to pay for them with farmed geenseed, or can you get enough income to make this possible?
