    You narrowly avoid Warhammer as you see you’re on the Enterprise. You’re called for a mission. Shortly before you’re beamed down you see it. You look down.Your heart starts racing. You’re wearing a red shirt.

        World War III ends and Earth is left devastated, mostly because of nuclear warfare. Most of the major cities are left in ruins with few remaining governments and the death total reaching 600 million.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Star_Trek

        Push the button. Only 600 million is a generous offer. This timeline will have many more.

      The 40k timeline is basically just normal Earth for a few more centuries at least. The Emperor is just out there, somewhere, fucking with shit.

      In fact, there would be a golden age on the horizon

          It’s basically Star Trek for like a millennium or so if I recall. Things didn’t always suck so hard in 40k, it took a while for it to become the grimdark hell it is in the 42nd century

    So I get transported to a futuristic utopia with Replicators and Holodecks, or I immediately get killed by a Space Marine or whatever.

    Either way I don’t have to live in this shithole any more. 🤷‍♂️ I’m pressing it.

      With all the endless war the Imperium is so huge most of the humans probably never saw war and space marines are so rare it’s almost impossible for you to be killed by them.

        Even on “safe” planets, the average person is basically a slave doing endless, arduous labor with no concern for their lives or well-being, all under the merciless thumb of Imperial dogma. It’s just a bad place to end up.

        I haven’t played in years and I want to sell everything I have, but I have this self modded death guard thingy that I really liked making. Since you know 40k, you might appreciate it. I only did it for a year so my skills are poor but I like the result of this one.

        There are fates worse than death in the 40k universe, like being captured by the dark eldar. If I can take a method of suicide with me, then maybe (though even then, my soul is going to end up in the immaterium).

      humans outside of the federation are treated with xenophobia sentiment mostly. one of the overarching themes, is that non-federation races dont like the expansionist nature of the federation, also the assimilation/melting pot of other cultures. one tng episode, where the native americans decided to leave earth 200years before tng, to find a world of thier own, said the federation became too homogenized in thier culture, and lost its unique identities.

      originally cardassians and KLINGONs before allying with the humans. romulans, SHeliak, paxans,tholians, and the now defunct marquis. since STD isnt really accepted by most fans to be canon, the federation stopped expanding over that 900 years, i think the influences got stretched way too thin by then.

        And being a human among Gorn might really suck.

        On a completely different note:
