>>5454302I just want more fren time with the Astral Claws, but I can also think of more reasonable motives.
Didn't the seeds of rebellion get sown just because the Imperium stopped giving a shit? I remember that the system was a special case, where you could rule however you want as long as you send those sweet sweet resources to the Imperium. Additionally, the Astral Claws also wanted to defend it (because of daemons and other bullshit), but the Imperium refused to invest anything but bare bones - forcing the Astral Claws and all of the chapters to take it for themselves (which apparently wasn't okay anymore because no more resources to the Imperium lmao).
Sure, the Astral Claws could still be corrupted somehow, but wouldn't our friendship (and close supervision) prevent/delay it? I know it's a foolish dream, but I really want to see the Astral Claws and their bro chapters succeed.
Plus, from a plot perspective, it'll be fun (I hope).
