I agree. the Imperium is huge, and incredibly powerful, but in Canon they are slowly crumbling since they cannot survive the Orks, Tyranids and Chaos (and Tau and Eldar, although their conflicts are much lesser known) This whole story was based around the Imperium against the Serathi, but if we suddenly add Chaos,which the Emperor has aldready done much to stop in our timeline thereby breaking it slightly, then sooner or later the Imperium will fall and Defiance Timeline will be Chaos vs Serathi.
