Editing Macragge (section)

===Pre-Great Crusade===
Before the Great Crusade, Macragge was one of humankind's lost colonies, and the primary form of government was a pair of officials known as Consuls. Macragge was a bleak but not inhospitable world, part of a decayed star empire of ages past that Mankind had inhabited for many centuries since the time of the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. Its industries had survived the [[Age of Strife]] relatively intact and its people had retained an authoritarian but cohesive society. It had remarkably preserved a number of antiquated short-range warp-capable craft which could be utilized for near-stellar transit - conditions permitting - and its people had continued to build sub-light spacecraft even during the time of the most intense warp storms. This had allowed the people of Macragge to maintain contact with several neighbouring human-settled star systems, despite the storms' fury, and so retain a tenuous link to the rest of human space and the knowledge that it was not alone in the darkness. Then [[Roboute Guilliman|Baby G]] crash-landed on the world and promptly turned it and the surrounding system into a flourishing civilization.
