[@ironduke5058]

This was great, this is the first time coming across your channel and I watched along with you in one sitting while doing my chores lol. Like you said you're nit picky which is nice, since you make great commentary and voice when something confuses you which is engaging. For example it looks like it's been explained already, but the whole 1k Psykers a day thing is an absolute BARGAIN of a deal to keep the Emperor alive. The galaxy is huge and I think 40k is the only setting that does the amazing scale of the Milky Way justice, getting 365k Psykers to keep your species alive is less than a spec of the population. Earth alone right now holds 8 billion people, while millions die each year and the galaxy has millions of planets. Ain't that crazy? I say 40k does scale right Though you also mentioned that to you, you find the Emperor confusing and inconsistent? He sort of is because back in the day the writers weren't 100% in line with how they each saw the Emperor so they wrote him a little differently. It's written off as him being a deceptive, godlike being who switches to whichever personality would get him the outcome he wanted to make him make more sense(Though he is like that, he's become more consistent as the books developed). So what part exactly did you find contradicting? This was a great video btw, I'd like to see you check out part 2 or TOP TIER animations like "Astartes"

[@momqabt]

You said it yourself: writers are bad with math. Let's say 1 psyker is one in 1mil. Let's say they sacrifice 10000 a day. That's for 10 billion. 365 days is for 3650 billion or 3.65 trillion, and Let's say there are 10 trillion. 10-3.65=6.35 are still left for the overflow of psykers. That's almost double that are left for those sacrificed. So for every psyker sacrificed each day there is 1.9 psyker alive each day. Let's now also say 20% of the populace is taking active part in the wars, so 10tril=>2tril and only 1% of the populace takes on fighting roles, that's 100billion. Now please imagine 100billion 1Cent coins. Good luck.

[@momqabt]

And being nitpicky: you omitted from your logic: that was in the age of technology, 1 per billion, end of the age, more common, let's say 100 per billion, so 1 per 10mil, that time was about 5000 years, that was 15000 years ago, and there have been multiple various warp anomalies since then, not to mention genetic experimentation. Also, they can be bread. They are rare genes, but genes none the less.

[@georgethearle7612]

I did the maths, Holy Terra would birth about 55,000 psykers a day for each quadrillion people, I figured it out based on transfering the proportional daily birthrate up from an overall population of 7 billion to 1 quadrillion. Even if we don't count terra and just use todays population numbers times a million worlds you get 38,500,000 psykers born each day in the Imperium.

[@xabar_8725]

There are more people dyeing in traffic accidents today on Earth so 1000 sounds pretty cost-effective

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

This is where you start to get to the edges of human understanding of scale. Space is large. It is MASSIVE. Our galaxy is unfeasibly huge, with hundreds of billions of stars and trillions of worlds. Even a fraction of this being inhabited by humanity leads to a obscenely huge population. The number of people in the Imperium easily enters the quadrillions. A few thousand every day is a drop in the bucket, even for psykers, who are a fraction of the population. It's not about suspending disbelief, but wrapping your mind around how large space is, and realizing that most sci-fi or even fantasy settings do not get scale correctly because they use numbers that are far too small.

[@momqabt]

Normally the human brain isn't wired to handle those large numbers. Can you imagine 10 coins? Good. Now can you imagine 10k? 500k? 20mil? 400mil? 50bil? 1tril? Can you? Space is incomprehensibly large, just think how wide Saturn is. Now imagine how meny new yorks could fit in there? Or imagine JUST the Himalayas. How meny pennies would you have to stack to reach just the average height?

yeah! for a stargate atlantis fanfiction i am writing we had a thought experiment: what if traveling through a gate to a world at the edge of the galaxy and building a hubble telescope in orbit. what could we see on earth? with the best angle, we could only "see" around 6 or 7 thousand years back in time. Even if we build one in the Pegasus galaxy where atlantisis, it would "only" allow to obsereve earths state arround 3 million years ago. So to observe the impact of the asteroid that killed the Dinosaurs, you would have to travel to a point 20 times the distance between earth and Pegasus galaxy. Mind blowing.

The Imperium would need 1,000's of Black Ships, considering the time they spend in the Warp. But, yes. Most Hive Cities/Planets will likely have 10,000s of psykers in prison, ready to go the day the Sisters of Silence show up. On big planets it would make sense that they have a large garrison of Sisters of Silence, always searching, always brining in and testing, on a constant basis.

I dont see an issue to the thousand souls sustainability. The imperium has millions of worlds, lets say only a million worlds are willing to give 1 sacrifice each, the first batch will give you enough to last a little more than 3 years, so i'd thats more than enough time to get the second sacrifice per world ready

[@dayotobiusa]

They have "black ships" that go around the sectors collecting the psykers and bringing them to the throne. These are heavily guarded, kept secret and have Sisters of silence in them (these have a rare "blank"\"null" gene, which makes them have something like an inverted soul-warp connection, thus negating psyker power (and reeally messing with their minds, though they do that to everyone)).

[@UpperNileGuy]

Especially after the psychic awakening. There are more than a order of magnitude more psykers born per 1 trillion people

[@MnemonicHack]

Over the course of 10k years, that's about 4 billion, give or take. Hive cities are bigger than that.

[@fell5514]

You don't even need to leave earth to get plenty of psykers to sacrifice. They do, just because the Imperium has a standing policy to round up every Psyker they can just to keep them under control, but Holy Terra alone has hundreds of billions of people, there are probably half a billion psykers living on Terra alone. A million guardsmen probably die every single day, disappearing under the feet of Orks and into the gullets of Tyranids to keep the Imperium going, and none of it has put a dent in the population yet.

[@charlievillarreal274]

its more of a logistics issue. How are you going to transport unstable psykers? Psykers are also drawn to chaos, which could be extremely dangerous. Not every human is a psyker and not every psyker is strong enough to be a valuable sacrifice. Now, not every imperial world will be willing to sacrifice their psykers. Finding and taking them by force is also a dangerous task. You also have to compete with chaos cults that will attempt to hinder your success and reach the psykers to further their agendas. All this is without taking into account a psyker could be a nuclear bomb at anymoment, exploding and starting a chain reaction that would make every other psyker in a 10 mile radius explode with them. Overall. Searching for psykers is both a logistic nightmare and just a horrible nightmare. Glory to the emperor, Glory to Terra.

[@ferrumtv7421]

Well, actually the Imperium CAN sacrifice that amount of psykers (it's number is quite small by the way) and wage a constant war, because it's population is endless quadrillions if not bigger.

[@bmobmo6438]

The current population of Earth is about 8.1 billion. A relatively small hive city can hold 100 billion, the largest can cram in 500 billion or even more. The population of the Imperium is easily in the quintillions at least. Not that there could ever be an accurate count of them all given that the Administratum regularly just forgets about entire sectors.

[@muratigentijan8911]

The nazis killed 15k ppl a day in their chambers in auschwitz from 1942-1944, with no other reason that they are born on the other side of an imaginary line, i think the inperium can and will sacrifice more, the golden throne was build with 10 k chambers meaning they are just using 1/10 of their capacity

[@TheFlyingAttackDogg]

Its in the quadrillions at best not quintillions​@bmobmo6438

[@DoddyIshamel]

​@bmobmo6438 this is wild exageration, a normal hive is under 10 billion. Hive primus largest Hive on Necromunda has 5-10 billion in its hive city according to GW, even allowing for an unfeasibly large spire population and unrealistically densely populated underhive it won't top 20 billion probably more like 11-13. Only the very largest hives in the galaxy have over a 100 billion. Population numbers we have for hive worlds range from 5 billion to 500 billion (Ichar IV) with tens of billions the Norm. The only world's with explicitly larger populations than Ichar IV are Necromunda (estimated trillions across thousands of hives) and Terra (estimated quadrillion)

[@bmobmo6438]

​@@DoddyIshamelDepending on what source you use you get vastly different numbers. With the size of hive cities and what we know about the living conditions within them, 10 billion is way too small. If that's the case there is no conceivable way even a tenth of the hive is actually being used for anything.

[@albigucko9518]

Knights (or their crews) are not immortal. It is a tradition that noble families of old carry through time. Also minds of previous pilots are recorded into these knights, so every new pilot literally can hear his grandpa lessoning him for doing something wrong

If the knights function on the same meta logic that titans do, they copy certain parts of the user's personality, their image and memories, so in a sense, the pilots Are "immortal".

And when Luetin says "trillions" he means hundreds to thousands of trilli9ns 9f humans across more than 1 million Imperial planets. If anything 1000 psykers a day is actually a trivial number.

Iv always seen the Knights like game of thrones households. But mobile. Imagining winterfel holding the armies and citizens within its walls. But within the knight instead.

You are nitpicking on numbers people which has been criticized by others too but for the numbers being too small. A planet scale war should have more combatants than 1 million. There is roughly 1 000 000 populated worlds under the Imperiums control, not a few worlds. Terra is an outlier on the extreme but Terra's population is in the quadrillions (1,000,000,000,000,000). It is an extreme example because it is the Throneworld, Holiest place in existence and millions of pilgrims arrive daily. Psykers are becoming more and more common as they are the next step in human evolution. Getting a few thousand for the daily sacrifice isn't a problem, it is not a drop in the sea but single molecule of water. 32:38 We don't know what kind of state that C'tan shard (Void Dragon) was when it landed on Earth and The Emperor could have used the Eldar webway to get it on Mars, there are webway portals on both Earth and Mars. Side point, The Emperor was content on working in the shadows wasn't planning on being an Emperor but his friend Malcador convinced him of the necessity of becoming one. Malcador was a perpetual (immortal) usually one only dies from some MacGuffin.

"The Emperor could have used the Eldar webway to get it on Mars" with the release of the Lion L Johnson book. It can be implied the emperor has a similar probably far better teleportation ability.

[@Ve-om7lf]

so as a crazy numbers guy, According the the International Labor Organization of the United Nations in 1999 1 mil people died in workplace accidents, using a world population of 8 billion that accounts for .0125% of the global population. Assuming the average population of an Imperial planet at 8 Bil and the oft stated number of 1 mil Imperial planets that puts total imperial population at approx 8 quintillion persons. At 1,000 psykers per day for a total of 365,000 per year that accounts for .0000045625% of the imperial population. Now obviously that's too useful because without anything saying how often psykers of appropriate strength appear we can't separate psykers from the general population for a more accurate comparison, but without psykers being exceptionally rare, less than 1% of the general population, 1,000 a day is nothing. The bigger problem is the logistics of moving that many people.

[@Denasgurman]

On Earth 2024, each year 800 000 people die of hunger. And it would cost 4 to 6 billion dollars for that not to happen. In my country the richest dude owns 200 billions. It would cost him 2% of his money to save 800 000 people a year. He doesn't do it. Nobody forces him to do it. He has the right to let 800 000 people die each year. So Today 800 000 people are sacrificed on Earth each year to our lord : the private property. And it's not a quick death. Because the right for billionnaires to keep their billions is considered superior to the right of normal people to live. So a thousand of psyker a day in the most fascist society ever imagined.... no suspension of desbilief at all, it's just true, I belive it, fully.

[@PandemoniumVice]

@@Ve-om7lf Just a tiny nitpick: There were only 6 billion people on Earth in 1999. Our global population has climbed by 2 billion in the last 25 years. IIRC we're projected to level off around 11-12 billion or so.

[@Numtalegau]

It´s PSYKERS being sacrificed each day, not "normal" humans. Psykers are rare amongst the human population, and can be extremely rare, depending on their psichic prowess. However, considering there are Quadrillions of Humans throughout the galaxy, a few thousand psykers per day isn´t that hard to believe. Everything in 40K is way over the top and silly. That´s why it´s amazing.

[@lordgod9958]

The imperium has an insanely vast population and territory. Thousands of people daily sounds like a lot but you probably have several times that many people die every day on earth with a population of billions. That is a drop in the bucket compared to an estimated quintillions across the imperium. Psyker qualifications at low to mid levels is not particularly uncommon from a probability perspective

[@Melodeath00]

The scale is an EXTREME underestimation in this case. Modern day Earth could sacrifice 1000 people a day and it would barely affect the population growth statistics. Same issue with the Imperial Guard. Their description and lore makes them sound like this endless wave of men, and then you hear the actual numbers of these "infinte troops", and their standard deployment for a battle is 1 million men? The Allies deployed 1M men in the Battle of the Bulge in WW2. Napolean marched into Russia with 600k men 200+ years ago.

[@UpperNileGuy]

Terra alone has around a quadrillion people but it's an exception

[@kylemartin5695]

Interesting to note that 365,000 people falls in the range of the number of people currently estimated to die just from flu every year with only the 8 billion people we have. And is less than the number to have already died from cancer only 21 days into this year.

One thing that's worth keeping in mind as you dive into the Warhammer 40k lore that you won't necessarily get if you're not reading the books (or even if you are), is that most of what we know about the history of the setting is delivered via unreliable narrators. It's rarely openly addressed even in the books but they are carefully written to ensure that most of the big picture or distant past are presented as what a character believes or speculates based on fragments of surviving records or legends passed down over too many generations to know for sure what is true.

[@bad-people6510]

Numbers in 40K are massive. The castle you saw at the start was a Hive City, a hive can reach into space and go DEEP into the ground, there can be dozens of hives on a hive world and many non-hive worlds have hives on them (It's just not their main feature). A hive can house a few hundred million, or upwards of 10 billion (some sources say over 2 trillion). By M41 (when 40K is set) Earth is one enormous hive city, there is no set population for Terra (Earth), but it is stated to be in the quadrillions (that's 1 with 15 zeros). Life in a hive ranges from luxury for those (literally) at the top to beyond hellish the further you go down. The one resource the Imperium is never short of is people to throw at any problem (and they absolutely do throw as many people as necessary, then probably a few more just to be safe), to live in the 40k universe is to know... You do not matter.

In old lore the emperor was inconsistent because all we knew of him were myths. Recent lore leans into the emperor being kinda like a greek god, he takes the form and attitude that is most likely to make you submit to him and his rule. To the primarchs, he is a loving father, to the average citizen, he is God (but he says he isn’t one), to a mechanicus tech-priest he is an emotionless ultra-rational being who adresses his own children using serial numbers instead of their names. There’s an eldar farseer who decribes the emperor as chameleonic and impossible to pin down or read the fate of.

The Psykers that are sacrificed to the God-Emperor most often have very little, if any experience with their powers. There are many, many ships (they're called Black Ships) in the Imperium dedicated to the sole purpose of finding, and arresting all unsanctioned psykers. From new born infants, to the elderly. Some who show potential, are trained to become Sanctioned Psykers, but the vast majority are slated for sacrifice to the God-Emperor.

[@nuclearsimian3281]

10:37 The Imperium has over a million worlds in it, and a significantly gigantic number of them have well over 5 billion people living in a single hive city on their surface. There can be sometimes numerous hive cities on a world, and some worlds are entire ecumenopolises. Finding a few thousand psykers a day is trivial when your empire numbers in the hundreds of quadrillions. The Imperium alone contains more people than the entirety of the Star Wars galaxy combined, and they're all humans. Not every planet is fighting on the front line either, some are very peaceful. 46:40 I used to be the same exact way. The visual aesthetic is the thing that held me back from even attempting to explore 40k or its related media, it was just...over the top, absurd, and unbelievable to such a degree that I basically invented reasons not to get involved with the franchise. It took a good friend beating my head against the wall (metaphorically, of course,) to get me to overlook it and just start diving into the lore. The aesthetic matches perfectly, its gratuitous and over the top, just like the lore it represents, its a culture that has firmly believed that strength is the only way forward. What's more symbolic of that than grandiose machines that look insane to the eye and are so distinct that they're unmistakable? Or a man in a suit of armor that's too big for a human...until you realize the man inside is hardly "human" but a massively empowered and strengthened transhuman.

[@EyeOnTheTV]

fun fact: The 1997 movie "Event Horizon" is an unofficial prequel to 40k.

[@TheDrTelos]

The number of psykers sacrificed per day seems like a lot in an out-of-context perspective. But to put it a bit into perspective, the Imperium of Man holds control over millions of worlds. Even if we simplify that down to one million, that comes down to sending one psyker per 1,000 planets every day. A group of 1,000 planets finding one person to send every day is, in context, much more believable and sustainable, which is why it has been sustained for 10,000 years.

[@hiasirimias2423]

Fuelling the Golden Throne with psykers to keep the Astronomican alive is literally the most important part of keeping the entire imperium alive, so 1000 psykers a day, not even half a million a year, is a small prise to pay.

So fun fact. The emperor isn’t the oldest human. Arguably his oldest friend Ollanius Persson is older than the emperor. They’re a very rare breed of life called perpetuals. Vulkan, Erda, John Gramaticus are other examples of perpetuals.

[@TheNightWatcher1385]

40k is one of those universes that’s so built up that you could spend a decade learning the lore and still find new things.

[@nonnoticingsenpai1079]

So, maybe the biggest thing to understand which when understood sort of clears up much of the disbelief in numbers. The Imperium has under it's banner around one million worlds, yes I said million. Not 10 or 20 or even a hundred or a thousand, a million. When you get that tidbit, it becomes easier to understand.

[@mikkohernborg5291]

You need to take into account the worsening conditions over the 10.000 years of the Imperium's reign. The Emperor didn’t need a thousand psykers being sacrificed to him every day immediately. The caretakers of the Golden Throne noticed that the Emperor seemed to get worse, and out of desperation they tried various things to improve his condition, and somehow found that the arcane machinery keeping him alive could also be used to drain the soul of someone to reinforce the one seated on the mechanism. Psyker souls are more powerful, and the imperium sees them as a risk and vile subhuman mutants who are walking time bombs (even the trained ones, unless they hold extreme power - like an inquisitor). So it began with one, and for a time the readings on the machine improved. Then the numbers started to go down again, so they sacrificed another; but the improvement was less than before and waned faster, albeit marginally. After a few years they tried sacrificing more often, and then with more people. It was a slow ramp, and gradual enough that there’s been no note of an increase from the 41st millennium to the 42nd. Besides, a thousand psykers every day is the most often cited number, but I have seen others. One was ten thousand psykers every year, another was a hundred every day. What is certain, though, is that among the millions of worlds in the imperium, with uncountable trillions of people, the Black Ships find and bring back enough psykers to both fuel the Golden Throne’s ever increasing appetite, as well as restocking the pool of Astropaths and supplying the military’s demand for Sanctioned Psykers. The looming threat of not being able to fulfil the demands is ever-present, and would doom the Imperium if it ever occurred. But that’s the way it’s supposed to be. The doomsday clock is ever five minutes to midnight, and despite their efforts, the best result they can get is continuation of stasis.

[@Hunk666]

I seem to remember they discovered that the Emperor could be strenghtened by psychic souls/energy, when Malcador gave his last energies to the dying Emperor after returning from erasing Horus, then crumbled into dust. At first he probably did not need many, maybe 2 or 3 three a day (remember, Malcador was an unbelievably powerful Psyker) but over the ten thousand years the amount increased to a thousand a day. I think until now there are only 3 beings who could even sit on the Golden Throne for longer periods of time without immediately dying. These were of course the Emperor, Malcador and Magnus, who should have sat on it anyway, would have been going everything to the Emperor's plans. But like I said, that is just "my" canon.

[@armr6937]

[@kr0w119]

Loved listening to your author’s perspective thoughts while examining a new fantasy universe! I must warn you that Part 2 of this series is even more dense in its detail. It’s like the last 15 minutes of this video, for the entire duration. A lot of storytelling that requires some knowledge of all of the different factions & characters that he’s talking about. I’d suggest the video from The Templin Institute channel called “Imperium of Man”. It’s a shorter video but a fantastically done overview of 40k in it’s “present” state. Everything you watched here was ancient history to get up to that point (so don’t worry, you won’t be rehashing the same info).

As the total population increases the perceived value of a single life drops, and increasing by several orders of magnitude that perceived value can drop massively. So that thousand per day is really seen as a trivial price to pay for maintaining the Emperor.

About the numbers of psykers sacrificed every day. The imperium has controll roughly North of a million world's. Many of them are hive words (around 60 - 70%) with average 15 to 100 billion!!! people per planet. It's in a short story mentioned by games workshop the imperium loses a estimated number of around 10 to 25 million soldiers per day around all battlegrounds.

[@lummergnu]

Luetin is the lore GOAT

[@RicWalker]

56:00 Yes. I even know an example of lost tech of todays world: Linnen weaving. Cloths woven put of linnen vanished when textiles out of cotton became mass produced during the industrialisation. The techniques passed down through the generations were lost when all this small family enterprises had to make way for the factories. Today we struggle to figure out how they did achieve the things recorded by ancient historians. A linnen gambeson of old and a modern made gambeson cant compare.the modern one is good, but not to the specifics described. Roman siege engines used flax or horse hair woven ropes. But people today scratch their heads about how exactly they made those ropes. we need steel cables to ge the same effect the romans described. replications of said materials with modern techniques dont come even close. We lost the tech because when it was needed, it was mundane knowledge to the producers. but when those items became obsolete, the knowledge was lost to time. No one thought at that time that in the future someone would like to know the specifics again. So it was never written down. End note: yeah. thats why we love the 40k lore. its so BIG but in itself makes pretty much sense. nothing happens because the author "needed it to happen" as an explanation. Dont get me wrong, ther is a LOT of weird sht going on in the 40k universe. But all that weird sht has its own inworld explanation. Oh and the thousand psykers a day? simple math. The empire has over 1 million worlds and at least half of them with more than one billion people. if 1 psyker is found each year per planet and send to Terra, you would end up with nearly three times the ammount needed as fuel for the emperor. All psykers end up on Terra. There they are sorted. those stable and powerful enough to be an asset to the imperium get training. those too unstable or weak become fuel. Those that get insane during the training... well you can guess three times where they end up.

[@alexianthedragon]

One of the benefits of 40k is not having to worry about inconsistency. Nit picking may be fun but it won't give you any understanding of the setting, which is based on historical allusions and mad exaggeration. Also, while lore videos are great introductions, there is no substitute for reading the rule books or novels. While the Emperor is a major presence in the lore he is not a character and we will never get his POV. I think you can see that Warhammer is insanely popular. You might be more interested in the fantasy Warhammer worlds than 40k.

[@kolyashinkarev7366]

12:15 gonna be nitpicky here too - there are more or less 400000 people born on our real earth every day and imperium has billions of such planets, some of which are hiveworlds which can have populations counting in trillions, so 1000 people a day is managable even considering one primitive earth, for the imperium it's not even segnificant

[@Kiiranov]

The imperium span over a million worlds. And each world have a minimum billion of citizens. Not to mention the hive world that house trillions of people. So a thousand sacrifice is not even in the .00001% 😂.. to be fair I like your reaction. Specially to a prospective of a writer. Looking forward for more reaction.

[@Korsav0]

The bit for the thousands sacrified everyday is that while the Imperium as an entity is in a constant state of galactic war the individual planets themselves can experiences thousands of years of peace enough to produce the resources and manpower needed to fuel the war effort for the Imperium. Edit: The vast majority of Psychers are actually highly dangerous due to their lack of control over their power and only a few are employed into service and once they become a detriment to their local communities (which is most of the time) they are taken away to black ships that take them away to be turned into sacrifices for the Emperor.

[@carnage2k4]

13:00, ah, sweet summer child, in a galaxy of a millions worlds and countless quadrillions of humans, with fleets designed to seek and return dangerous Psykers for use, a 1000 a day is a menial number, an amount akin to the tens of water droplets collected from a hand swirled in the ocean. Though I do agree the 40K writers have had their far share of ridiculous numbers, one comes to mind where they were talking about titanic global battels on the world of Armageddon, yet using numbers that equated to fewer than counted in WW2. But in the case of the 1000 Psykers, Na, the number is fine.

From the ground to the top, those things are as big as the Mt. Everest and some are even larger, so the highest towers of those things penetrate the stratosphere of a Planet. And this is only ONE of those. Most of the time, a Hive City Planet has up to 3 or more of those things. In it's walls could live several billion residents. And this is only *ONE* Planet. There are hundreds or thousends of those worlds within the Imperium.

Agreed consistency within a given franchise over such a prolonged period of time, can either expand or break the immersion of the universe, such as things like medocloryions or Rey in Star Wars in which some random nobody, is able to fly a spaceship for the first time and outperform several first order veteran pilots or use a mysterious and mystical power, which she has no training in whatsoever and is somehow as powerful as the most powerful force user at the time, again whilst minor inconsistency’s can be a good thing, too many or too large a consistency problem can destroy or ruin a franchise, that being said as you kept on asking about the 1000 phykers, they’re rare umong average imperial citizen but not that rare, in which entire planets with the population of say coruscant can house upwards of several trillion people, whilst you can have more modest population numbers like that of modern day earth, as for how they get these people, they use massive fleets called the black fleet, where they would go system by system and pick up those with physic abilities who would have been hunted down for them the meres traces of physic powers and they would be hunted and captured, they would then contact the administratum who would send a black ship to collect them, regardless of how many there are, be there a couple of dozen, a few hundred or even a few thousand people, they would take them all and this would be a constant task, in which during their transit they would be tested to prove their abilities, as for the refueling sequence, they don’t really need any training whatsoever, just their abilities and that’s it. And again this is happening across the entire imperium much like how cargo ships works ie they would spend time traveling in say one area and once they’re full of cargo, they would make their way back to their home country in order to drop off the goods.

As for these videos being too long I personally recommend you to watch Majorkill he can be a bit too vulgar but he is great for explaining several aspects of the lore in shorter and funny videos, plus he is generally more accurate than most other summary channels and his views on warhammer 40k will probably be much more to your liking as he is part of the group of fans that doesn´t believe nor like the whole "there is no hope" thing specially against unrealistic and stupid grimdark. He still has a few problems such as sometimes exaggerating some things for a joke, or making jokes that can be confused for being actual lore, plus his videos are sometimes overly biased against or in favor of certain characters or groups based on his own biases but aside from a few overtly maligned characters (poor Fulgrim) it´s still mostly accurate and generally even if he overly attacks or defends a character in one specific video for a situation he has other videos where he is generally more nuanced on the same character and/or situation offering the other side´s view,. So despite a few problem he is in general much more accurate than the average and very good at explaining and being funny so I reccomend it.
