The individual worlds have police frigates that are responsible for local patrol and law enforcement. These are limited by treaty as to size and number. If the frigates are only available to the individual nations for local protection, does that mean they aren't equipped with an FTL drive? I'd imag...

In both universes to wear power armour requires a lot of surgical alteration and augmentation to use ( and thus limits their number, thought in 40K that doesn't seem to be a problem, but i'm not very familiar with the fiction so . . . ) I don't know of any reason why WH40k powered armor requi...

Are there any monarchies on the other worlds? For that matter, are they, like Earth, made up ...

Do humans still use rockets to send things from planets into orbit, or do we use orbital elevators/cannons?
