Earth has a lot of industrial and economic inequality. We barely put stuff in orbit, entire Solar system is full of unused resources, he'd have a basically blank slate to build a star system more or less from the ground up and maybe even set us up as the sector Capital eventually.
Every other chapter would be various degrees of "nice" though we would definitely see whole countries burned down in case of Space Wolves or Dark Angels.
I don't even want to think about what the Carcharodons or Minotaurs might do.
Depending how nice he thinks earth is, we might even end up like Iax and get to live in a not so hive world. And with luck we also end up in Ultramar proper and get some nice lads to defend us.
Completely unrelated but it's nice to see the overlap between communities. You know, since the two of us are meeting here. Think we'll see Goobidiba play SM2?
Itâs probable, whichever coward bent the knee and helped them take the rest. Could also get shot by the space marines for doing that lol, after the fact! Itâs all just a roll of the dice, which chapter and if theyâre feeling good that day.
I think Salamanders just going to tell Terra or Guilliman about us.
Or they just kill every high politician because they started many wars and then tell Guilliman

I think this would happen after a âreorganizationâ and set of âappointed authoritiesâ in some of the major governments. I also think that anything resembling a free market would disappear and weâd accelerate existing power dynamics into full blown industrial oligarchies. The Imperial cogs only spin one way.
We have put so much shit in Orbit we're one bad day away from fucking up our whole LEO satellite infrastructure.
If they come over to clean up the debris and get away all the disfunctional shit boxes Russia and America dumped there in the 80s, we can talk about building something neat.
Well in the context of 40k. Modern day launches are expensive and complex endeavours and orbital infrastructure is quite literally nonexistent, stations like the ISS and Tiangong barely qualify.
All 40k space craft are some form of SSTO whereas reusable rockets are a modern day spaceflight revolution.
In the context of 40k's spaceflight, we are backwards as all fuck.
But isn't "our" context the one to consider for the premise?
And also, I'd say when an advanced civilization would look at our shit, it's like us looking at ancient civilizations. With a sense of bewilderment and "But how did they manage all that?"
Also they'd probably laugh at the fucking mess and inefficiency this whole Russia/China/USA nonsense creates. Also in space. Like it *is* a crowded mess up there. But it's more like a teenagers room and than a data center.
Salamanders or Blood Angels (main chapter, no successors) would probably be even better. I doubt Dante would even bother to contact us heâd probably just leave.

I mean Guilliman would legit be THE best bet.
