40 Facts and Lore on Life in the Imperial Navy Warhammer 40K 

Lets hope it stays that way

Macro Cannons also help

Don't forget the plasma macros

Galler fields were made by The Emperor and it is heresy to not use them.

@@beastwarsFTW apparently Uri Geller invented the Gellar field! 😂

Exactly

" join the imperial Navy. It's free."

"Not really"

@@Jon-pw2ik citizen, it's not like there is a choice involved in joining your glorious emperor's navy or not. well, it's your superiors choice if you will be joing as shipmate or refueling servitor but apart from that... "Welcome to the Navy, lad!"

🎼In the Navy

Slavery and starvation on a hive or way more risk of demonic encounter and soul tearing experience as you travel the warp often. More like having to choose between plague and cholera.

@@karath51 Well, demonic encounters wouldn't be much of a problem depending on what kind of ship you work on! hahahahahaaa

18th century dude wakes up on high seas with an enormous headache: "Gee, looks like I was pressed into the navy. I'll see weird parts of the world and maybe never see my hometown again. DAMN!!!!" 41st millennium dude wakes up in the void with an enormous headache: "Emps, looks like I was pressed into the imperial navy. I'll see more of the galaxy than just my habblock and noisy manufactorum and maybe never see my homeworld again. HOOORAYY!!!"

@@phreakazoith2237 hahahahaha! that about sums it up

Aye, the lore be that The Maid-Sororitas accidentally Discovered it on a private STC stash labled "work stuff" in the Emperors bottom drawer. Upon activation it sent instant pulse throughout the Webway imprinting itself onto machine spirit tech including Titans down to the HUD systems of Astartes and militarium. Psykers reported to hear an incredibly powerful but partial Psychic Scream of unknown origin that said "Hey! NO! Waaait! STO. . . . ."

Aren't you under investigation for consorting with xenos?

Aaron James You know too much

Lord High Admiral Spire, by order of the Imperium of Man, and by decree of our holy Emperor, I, Inquisitor Rade Shen, am here to take you into custody. You stand charged with crimes of high treason and conspiring with Xeno lifeforms and will stand before the High Lords of Terra. Power down your ships and prepare to be boarded.

A reminder of the crude technology of the Imperium

@@thegrandadmiral471 Indeed. Still remember the 1st time I learned of the refueling "process" and was just like... Wtf. Speaking of tech sophistication & ships tech, do you recall the interaction between a pre dark ages ship A.I. and a cult mechanicus member?

@@brandonwachter2264 Do you mean the Speranza? Not much but remember the A.I saying it's disgusted at how far back mankind has fallen and the tech priest having amnesia after.

aint those poor bastards servitors?

The rating life doesn't sound that bad

are you sure about that ignorants is the wine of the imperiam and the imperiam is drunk off of it there's a good chance you don't even know what you are doing

But you'd never leave the ship tho

@@thegrandadmiral471 It would be better than to live in hive world forever

This is crap. Never leaving the ship?! How does quarantine from wuhan virus feel? There is no tech work. You pray for half an hour before pressing the power on button, then pray another hour before unscrewing a screw...they pray more in one repair job than I've ever spent praying in church my entire life. In real life Living under the Imperium is shitty. At least the dark eldar get to spend there weekends on beer, whores and blow. Life under the Tau at least treats you like a being worth something.

Lmao

in the 41st millennium there is only war....... and pornhub

Pornhub is for ever

But why her as the thumbnail she was the fleet captain of the fleet under the world eaters and angron as the commander of his flagship

I am a simple man. I see Flag-Captain Sarrin, I stand at attention!

Schola Progenum?...I think????

In th air.

@@boutinpowered8373 during the pilot servitor lobotomization

Yea, pretty much all of the naval ranks seem to be a tad bit cattywompus. It seems to be a tradition for the witers to ascribe to the Michael Bay tactical school and not bothering to check to see if its even in the same postal code as plausibility. From rank structures to tactics some is good and some screams amateur from the highest peaks.....

A flag Lt. used to be the signals officer/personal secretary of the captain. A flag Captain fills in the same role for an admiral

Thanks man

I would imagine it depends on the type or world and culture you’re visiting

I would imagine that they are trained to avoid the exposed or weaker areas. Also I think the caliber of weapons they are rocking are likely to be far below the required level to breach the hull or the very least they have restricted ammo types to prevent such an occurance.

Appreciate it!

Yeah that sounds like fun

In the prologue Admiral katalias cruiser lost 65000 hands after trying to measure dick sizer with the vengeful spirit and they were trying to pass on the idea that the shipwas 90%damaged and about to br gone so for example im going to suggest for cruisers like hers 70000 or 80000 hands

Lunar Class Cruiser according to Rogue Trader has a compliment of around 95.000 crew working and living on it's 5.1 or something kilometer long vessel. That is why I had a little nerdgasm moment when that cutscene played with the 65.000 dead on one ship. Seems like some reasonable losses for a almost crippled ship. I say almost because it could still do that ramming maneuver, but by then it was essentially a metropolis-sized coffin with engines really. Shipboard fires, hull breaches, malfunctioning plasma circuits, ordnace explosions etc tend to eat crew quickly and you can get all of that by one broadside from a vessel like Failbaddon's.

Saw it and went "whoooah, I need the lore video on this"

The same place where Slaneesh gets his rocks off.

hell yeah I need more women like those in my bookclub group!

Punal Manalan it’s the third link in the art credit section in the description

See I wondered that too

Lieutenant Moore yes but only if they go through the same process

Rick Franklin That’s wrong

Rick Franklin I’m sure space marines are separate from the imperial navy

Gregory Carrington why are they depicted as ship captains then? I don’t think you know what you’re talking about

Adeptus Astartes are completely seperated from the Imperial Navy. They do NOT fall under the authority of Sector- or even Segmentum Command. They are pretty much free to do as their chapter wants, but tend to lend a hand or interfere where needed. Of course that is also depending on the chapter in question. Salamanders will help differently than let's say Black Templars. Oh and after the Horus Heresy Astartes technically are not allowed to have fleets themselves. Their vessels are basically armed transports and there to aid invasions and deployment of Space Marine forces. Because, you know, they got to get to the battle somehow. That's why their ships are so different and also why the designations are different. No Cruisers or Battleships. Strike-Cruisers and Battle-Barges are very different things, even though the size and armament could be argued is somewhat comparable. Even Astartes Strike Cruisers have mostly human voidsmen assigned to them. Space Marines don't even really do the whole captain-thing, by that I mean SHIP-Captain. They have basically navy crews that are usually permanently assigned to the chapter, so for life as that is how permanent assignment goes for most people in the Imperium. While the ranking Astartes of a ship can usually tell the captain to do XY they leave the bulk of the command to the human officers, only telling them what they want out of a situation and let the ship-captain deal with the details. For instance the Space Marines want to boad an enemy vessel, so the ranking Astartes tells the captain of the ship he wants to go with two squads over. The captain gives the orders to close distance, maneuver into position, launch the assault craft, etc. So while the ship's captain still has mostly total authority over the vessel and it's crew the Astartes call the big-boi shots. Of course since Space Marines are basically worshipped as angels you will have to look very hard, like an Inquisitor in fact, to find anybody that scoffs at the situation. Most that serve on a vessel of the Adeptus Astartes are honored beyond words to be of use to the Emperor's Angels of Death in whatever small or not so small way they can. And yes an Astartes can basically hitch a ride on any imperial navy ship. Absurdly rare and absurdly stupid is the captain that would refuse them.

Good idea

Gather the throng! By my beard, the umgi allied with the grobi!

The adeptus astartes have chapter Surfs and servitors who oerform menial labor?

Correct. Some legions will also take failed marine aspirants as honored serfs. But yes they have humans aboard the ship.

Sex sells man.

OneMindSyndicate sure does 😂

Can’t wait

She's looks pissed...

always war
