Basically the Civil war is about which aspect of the returned Emperor the Imperium should follow. As many people know the Emperor essentially cast his humanity, and soul aside. This became the seed that would form the latent Star Child. In my idea the Illuminati succeed and resurrect the Sensei Emperor. At the same time the Star Child awakens. The result of these two rebirths causes Chaos to weaken considerably. However in the after maththe Imperium discovers the Star Child. The Sensei Emperor and the Star Child had become two linked, but distinctly separate entities. The Sensei Emperor embodies the Emperor's willingness to ensure humanity's future regardless of the cost, while the Star Child represents the Emperor's kindness, and long forgotten humanity. Thus the Imperium descends into civil war over which incarnation of the Emperor they should accept as their true god. FWI after awakening the Star Child reincarnates into a physical body.
