KingofSummer 245: warhammer inspired me n terms of its scale but all of the tech and science is the result of nearly a decade of research in me trying to start my own book series really this is just a trial run of the setting to help improve my writing as for your other question the UCHW spans a thousand worlds which is a paltry number compared to the Alliance of Worlds that lasted till CE 8575 (M-12) at its height it spanned hundreds of thousands of worlds.

Since I am still working on the next chapter I figured I would I explain some of the important details I have changed

Council: this version of the council is inspired in part by the decline of the roman empire (minus its whole destruction) They are a lot more nuanced then their game counterparts (Hopefully). The Turians have a much larger fleet and control hundreds of worlds with around a quarter of a trillion people. The Asari control a slightly larger amount of worlds about 400 and the salariens control a few hundred worlds both have around half a trillion people.

Reapers: the reapers will hence forth be called the Harvesters and the Husks look more like the Necron Flayed ones from WH40K and the Harvesters are very different although that's a surprise for later although I hope some people have noticed the hints at the start of every chapter cause they are showing snippits of the Orion war Which may or may not be related to the Harvesters.

Humanity: The UCHW is far smaller then the compined council races having around one and a half trillion people across one and a half thousand worlds ( the combined council numbers trillions with over two thousand worlds) aside from tech advantage the human military is filled with veterans of the Orion war and so is much of the human government humanity in this universe went from hundreds of trillions of people to a mere 80 billion so the Union of today is made of the decedents of Ark Terra and while much has been reclaimed they are still a shadow of their former self.

Battles: A modern day nimitz class fleet carrier is around 200 meters and has up to 5000 crew members the battle of Normandy involved over 7000 ships the battle of kursk saw millions of soldiers and tens of thousands of tanks and SPGs so I will try to make battles more large scale then that for instance the destiny ascension has around one hundred thousand personnel while the Union Titan Carriers (union equivalent of the dreadnought) can have almost a million personnel.

AI: much of the thought process in the games regarding AI does not make sense so in this fanfic AI are defined by being capable of passing the Turing Test and display the ability to evolve their code from its original form.
