>>87146455The thing about the Imperium is that after 10 thousand years of slow decline they only have two or three tools in their kit and while they still can do the job, they're getting less effective year over year. If you can't drown a problem in bodies with the guard, decapitate it with the Space Marines/Inquisition/assassin temples, or crush it with a Mechanicus god-machine, it's just kinda gonna sit there and get worse. The Imperium administrative state is capable of just *losing* entire solar systems due to a rounding error or paperwork mistake. As in they just forget they exist. It still has tremendous, overwhelming inertia just due to its size and the parts of it that still do work, but the crises it faces are of a galactic scale.
