Superhumans crafted from the Emperor's genetic code, the Space Marines are the strong-arm of the Imperium of Man in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
A banker is the owner, operator, and/or teller at a bank.
A Chapter of Space Marines formed in the Second Founding of the Warhammer 40K universe. Descended from the Imperial Fists, they are known for being exceptionally zealous and merciless even compared to other Space Marine chapters.
The IXth of the founding Space Marine legions, based on the world Baal. They tragically suffer from conditions called The Black Rage and the Red Thirst which, when they happen in a given Blood Angel, drives them mad.
An all-female branch of the Officio Assassinorum who specialize in infiltration and shapeshifting.
Commissars disciplinary officers employed by the Imperium of Man to ensure stability of units and the punishment of potential and actual deserters.
Plotting and scheming, usually for wealth or power.
Video game controversy revolves mostly around the psychological effects that games with graphic violence or sexual content in them can have on players. Other sources of controversy can range from racism, sexism, politics, or religion.
Either a force of over arching evil or a parody of the real world. The corporation is a common concept found in Video Games.
Law makers and fat cats who will sell the population down the river just to gain more power and money.
The act of a noble, just, or otherwise good or heroic figure becoming evil through either external manipulation or an internal shift in beliefs or desires.
Crooked Cops work both sides of the law for their own benefit.
One of the four main branches of the Officio Assassinorum. They are immune to Psykers and the Warp.
The head of a group of devout people who follow their crazy beliefs. Can often be dangerous.
Cults don't necessarily have to be evil or out to destroy the world, but in video games it's usually safe to assume so.
The first of the 20 original Space Marine legions, the Dark Angels are secretive, solitary, and paranoid. They are well-known for keeping secrets, and for clashing with one another due to the existence of "fallen" Dark Angels.
An elite, black-armored Stormtrooper variant deployed in small squads, frequently acting as bodyguards for important figures like Orson Krennic.
The usually self-appointed leader of a region with totalitarian control. Usually will come into power through violence and will stay in power until he dies or is killed.
Any game that represents a society noticeably worse or less desirable compared to those in the present. This can relate to kinds of political and economic organisation, excessive human suffering, social problems caused by technology, or as a result of an apocalyptic event.
Games that include a simulated economy which the player(s) can affect.
The Elite Guards are squads consisting entirely of women. Trained by Helga Von Bulow, the Elite Guards are fanatically loyal to Von Bulow and are rumored to be a part of a Witch's coven.
The crimson-clad, highly trained elite who protect Emperor Palpatine and, occasionally, other important Imperial figures.
Resembling Palpatine's Royal Guards, the Shadow Guard are an elite sect of agents usually sent to hunt down and eliminate surviving Jedi and other rogue Force-Users.
One of the four main branches of the Officio Assassinorum, and easily the most openly bloodthirsty and deranged of them all. Each Eversor is a psychotic given drugs that worsen their aberrant personalities and make them even more relentless killing machines. Kept sedated when not in use.
A theme used very often in fantasy and sci-fi settings is that of a brutal, totalitarian empire or kingdom whose armies oppress the common people. Evil Empires appear under many names in various game worlds, including simply "The Empire".
A concept that has been popularized since the days of the European colonial empires. The main bad guy is seemingly old, white, although not always human.
An evil organization is a group of super-villans who are hell bent on world domination or something of a similar nature. Usually defeated by a single Spy/Superhero/Average Joe/small child.
A Stormtrooper variant usually deployed in treacherous and unusual terrains found throughout the Galaxy. Often recruited from xenophobic Stormtroopers due to their high chances of running into alien foes.
The footsoldiers of the reborn Emperor Palpatine's "Final Order". Not to be confused with the Sith Empire's Sith Troopers.
The Galactic Empire was the galactic government established by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine in the Star Wars Universe.
