I hope to finish the next update this week. But no guarantees.
That's amazing to hear!!! Best of luck!
You guys think will get the Emperor out of his chair? Also I kinda hope we negotiate with some Aliens
Nah I want the guy to pull a Lord Kroak and float his corpse around on a throne blowing up the enemies of mankind.
Still not sold on bringing in xenos in anything other than a full subjugation.
We can negotiate with the Tau once we smooth out the hellish invasion that is the 13th Black Crusade. That way we won't be too preoccupied with putting out wild fires in the Imperium.

Honestly, there's a shitload of aliens in the 40k galaxy that we totally could and should just make deals with. The Emperor's xenophobic bullshit and unwillingness to form a stable modus vivendi with alien species is a significant fraction of what is fucked up with the entire history of the Imperium of Man.
Hopefully some orks too, a few necrons. Honestly the Emperor is friggen powerful, so I'm sure he'll modify the orks and perhaps give necrons flesh bodies
The Orks was designed by the Old Ones, not even the Eldar at the height of their power with the aid of their gods could modify the Ork into being more civilised and less warmongering.
My personal headcannon for why was that the Necrons was so powerful during War in Heaven that they could manipulate and corrupt the Old One's creations and soo the Old Ones hardlocked the Orks genetic so hard that it's basically impossible to crack without the key that died with the Old Ones.
While doing it Roman style and allowing them free rains on their own planets/systems as long as they accept the Imperiums complete superiority is perhaps the best long-term solution, we gotta remember that the closest "partner" to acquire we have right now is the Eldar and they would rather die than accept to being the junior partner in the pact/alliance... so better to pretend/keep up the illusion that they are an equal to us just like IRL USA and UK pretend that UK is an equal in their relationship.
The early Imperium was quite forgiving to Xenos who was harmless to the Imperium or was of use to Mankind... however, we have to also remember that humanity is effectively traumatised as a whole after Dark Night when they where prey to the wast majority of aliens of the Galaxy and thus, just like real life China and Russia was traumatised by the Mongols/horse nomads until it became a near pathological hatred passed down the generations, the Imperium nurses that hatred in their heart as to never allow somthing like that to happen ever again.
Or another example could be the South Americans paranoia of USA's "interventions" in their politics...
Humanity will accept Xenos as long as they are sure and have guarantees that they can't in anyway harm humanity in any shape or form.

Cannon Fodder
This is not supported in canon at all. The Emperor personally ordered the extermination of xenos, and his armies annihilated xeno-sympathizers like the Interex and Diasporex. The fact that no peaceful xenos remain is a direct byproduct of Imperial policy - all but the strongest were slaughtered en-masse.

The Interex is perhaps a bad example to give since Horus was famously in Diplomatic talks about them JOINING the Imperium when he was laid low by treachery.
Yes, the Emperor ordered the extermination of whole species but as I said, according to lore the wast majority of xenos was preying on humanity during Old Night so ofc humanity destroyed them when they could.
Let me reword it like this:
Compared to current day Imperium the early Imperium was quite forgiving of Xenos.

Lmao ×2
The heresy imperium was great for xenos
How to forget when
And the alliance with
And that time that
Oh wait it doesnt exist
The only example we got is a protectorare whose xenos got munched into juvenat after the heresy

And does it matter that we only have one example of it? It still sets the precedent: If you can prove that you're useful to Mankind and the Imperium and not a a threat or a liability you will be made into a protectorate.
Like the Jokareo.
Not to sound mean or anything but I highly doubt the Emperor(or us really?) would willingly aid the Necrons in getting back their flesh unless there's a really huge benefit for us. Like, the Necrons are practically technologically superior to every race in canon and while their are Necrons who do want their(non-super cancer) flesh back these are the same people that not only Genocided the Old Ones, with C'tan aide, but see every other species as vermin and won't hesitate to wipe them out in order to claim back superiority over the galaxy. We can probably work with the Necrons to get rid of certain threats, Chaos and Tyrannids, but we need to be ready to pull a termination bomb on them when we have the chance.

I really don't think that's either good enough, or relevant to the underlying problem.
The Jokaero are extraordinarily useful because of their technology, and also very nonthreatening except at the tactical level since they don't organize into armies or build big fleets or anything like that.
The fact that the Imperium is willing to make an exception for such extreme cases doesn't mean they're being remotely reasonable, and in the vast majority of cases it's quite clear that they just reach for the genocide button.
Nah when I say subjugation I mean subjugation in the form of Imperial Governors, laws, and Emperor worship.
