Most people are likely going to remember for the first 500 or so years, but odds are the information is going to become so muddled that people are going to start forgetting things. Remember 40k is big on the idea of lost knowledge and the idea of it being a cyclical event.

Yeah, but the printing press is a technology only restricted from the more primitive feudal worlds. I'd imagine that every Imperial citizen, even the ones who aren't real believers have at least one bible-equivalent in their home. With a society like the Imperium, they'd make things like the pocket bibles being handed out on the streets look really tame.

2. Where are our stormtroopers? When we built the Schola it was said we'd get stormtroopers but the closest we've gotten are grenadiers in the form of the Hellguard.

Stormies are very similar to Grenadiers really. Especially with how GW in their infinite understanding of scale limited them to a couple hundred thousand.

Ugh, that weapon. It looks good at first glance, but ugh.

Like I mentioned above to Durin, if he wanted to take the grim and dark approach to this, he'd make it so that after a while people start to associate everything with the God-Emperor with the Abomination. Suddenly all that stuff is now a threat to the survival of an entire society.

Still after a 1000 years a lot of that stuff is going to be gone unless the entire society is able to stay sane or survive long enough to keep that information correct.

The Super- Exitus Sniper Rifle. How much is the bullet's mass?

Cause at few hundred kilometers per second even if at one gram the power aproaches Iowa battleship 16 inch cannon shell power.

Actually anything fired at that speeds is just going to be a beam of plasma moving away from the muzzle.

up to several grams
the only bullets that are fired at that speed are Adamantine, which is ludicrously tough

in what way?

All Exitus ammo (including special rounds) uses miniaturized cogitator targeting spirits and have access to what appears to be, what I can only imagine, micro-thrusters that allow it too reorient itself in the air after being fired. Basically the bullets lock on too a target and that bullet effectively "wants" the target dead. Any attempts to obscure itself or any objects getting in the way, the bullet will attempt to compensate or change it's trajectory.

There's grimdark, and then there's grimderp. @durin should err on what makes the most sense instead of trying to be grim and dark for the sake of it.

But that isn't grimderp, that follows human patterns after a long period of time. The Imperium survived off of using peoples fears and hatred towards what they didn't understand. Of course after a couple of centuries would some people start to associate God-Emperor worship with the Abomination, they don't know any better or don't care anymore.

That's far from a sure thing, and we're going to do everything we can to keep that from happening before the Emperor comes back.

I never said we could. What we can do is ensure that proper worship of the Emperor doesn't die out in areas we can affect.

Which sadly at this point in time is still rather limited. I'm look at this whole thing from the bigger picture and trying to get an idea of what possible sceneriors could be met during a period of 1,000 years.

I'm also a little concerned over people going back to worshiping xeno idols, though not impossible if their alternatives results in either nothing really happening or the Abomination appearing...and this isn't taking into account the damn Chaos Cults. People will do crazy things to have what they believe to be peace of mind and home.

Gotta wonder what the Imperial Trust and other Imperial Remnants are going to encounter before the Emps comes back.

When I said "I guess only immortal superhumans actually matter in 40k", that was an exaggeration. Of course humans matter and they show courage/strength all the time, but we're talking about how Ollanius Pius in particular is being used (or not used) as a symbol for this.

As for the current discussion, so what if the Emperor is forgotten? So long as the Abomination and Chaos don't get a foothold, that's fine. We'll just go in and re-convert everyone.

EDIT: The last Age of Strife didn't result in mass-heresy everywhere, so we should be safe.

I would like to recommend that Saint Lin, at some point, recreate the Missionarius Galaxia so it falls in line with the new Imperial Truth.

The old methods of the Imperium were probably a little too much in line with the obedience, servitude, and listening for your own good mentality when it came to converting people.
 
Probably several kilometers. The range of the Exitus round is pretty damn reaching. The Super-Exitus sounds like it has WAY more power behind it's shots, so it's probably in the range of "far enough" for all of it's targets.

EDIT: Okay, it looks like one canon feat is a shot up to about 10 kilometers or so. So if we take into consideration that the Super-Exitus has MORE power to it...it could go up too maybe double that if it we wanted to be crazy.

But even going half way...15 kilometers, just imagine that.
