At the very end of the 41st millennium, the galaxy is split in two-
the Great Rift has bisected the Imperium of Man in to two great territories; the Imperium Sanctus centered around ancient Terra and the Primarch Robute Guilliman, and the Imperium Nihilus led by Chapter Master Dante of the Blood Angels on Baal...
