There are thousands of different species of creatures in the universe, but some are more prominent and hold empires of their own. The Eldar are a very dangerous race. They are naturally peaceful and much more logical than the humans. They govern in clans, which fight each other rather than wage war on the universe. The warlocks, eldar of great power, lead these clans and also live alone or as peace-keepers. Long ago, a division kind of like what happened with Horus occurred and many eldar are called rogue eldar. These rogues are bloodthirsty and will kill for pleasure. They also have many different eldar that specialize in a different sick way of killing. Another race is the orks, savage beasts that do not register pain unless it is very great and are as crude as they come. There is no sense of structure, the biggest ork leads and fight anything in its path. Many groups of orks will fight each other for more power. the orks have no way of making their own ships, they either take one while its landed or find hulks, a mass of ships that has grouped together from colliding together in the warp. The last "main" race is the tyranids (nid's). These are parasitical creatures that are connected to the hive queen. The ships that hold these creatures are alive, the flagship being the queen whom controls all the tyranids in the fleet. The tyranids live to kill. They will find a planet and literally eat it, devouring anything alive and stripping it bare of resources only to move on to another planet. When a fleet attacks a planet of the imperium, it takes a whole battle fleet, thousands of space marines and several whole regiments of imperial guard just to stand a chance. The tyranids are almost impossible to defeat.
