| abstract | - Lovehammer: Sailor Moon 40K is exactly what it sounds like, a Sailor Moon / Warhammer 40000 crossover. This Trope Page focuses more upon Arkado's story and everything else will be marked as such, however it's Universe, such that it is, can be divided into two basic catagories:
* The serious stories, most notably the story written by Arkado which first appeared on the Spacebattles Creative Writing forum in early September 2010. There is also another story with a similar premise being written by Charles Bhepin, author of Shinji and Warhammer 40 K, under the title Lovehammer: The Scattering of Serenity, which went live on FF.net around the end of September 2010. Bhepin cites Arkado’s version as his inspiration.
* The Mother Ship The Parent thread which is more a group consensus set of universes and exist primarily as Crack Fic. However, in general Lovehammer begins during the Great Crusades just after the God-Emperor has finished vanquishing the warlords of Terra and united the planet under his rule. Several universes over, the Silver Millennium comes crashing down around Queen Serenity’s ears, and her attempts to reincarnate Princess Serenity and the Senshi are sabotaged by Chaos, which redirects the Senshi’s souls outside of time and space. Unfortunately for the Ruinous Powers, however, the infant Serenity lands practically in the Emperor’s lap; sensing a power to rival his own, the Emperor promptly adopts the girl and raises her as his daughter. As the Emperor and the Princess search the galaxy for the lost Primarchs however, they discover that the Senshi have come along as well. Now flash forward to the 41st Millennium. Princess Serenity is worshiped as the first child of the Emperor and the Senshi -- called Anima by the citizens of the Imperium -- are revered to the same degree as the Primarchs, but the galaxy is still much the same Grimdark battlefield that it is in canon, though there are numerous changes which make themselves apparent as the story goes on. Our story begins when COMMISSAR Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM! and the Valhallan 597th find themselves abruptly dispatched to the Death World Hades VI, where an ork space hulk has crash-landed and its contents have begun harassing the locals. The Valhallans have barely made landfall when the orks mount a major offensive, setting off a chain of events that leads Cain to stumble onto the lost resting place of Sailor Saturn, who went missing shortly before the Horus Heresy. In typical Cain fashion, the situation proceeds to escalate very quickly and very badly when the Ruinous Powers arrive in orbit intent on claiming the planet and snuffing out Saturn's life before she can adjust to her new surroundings. At the same time, other factions across the galaxy begin to react to Saturn's return, and none of them have her best interests in mind, not even the Imperium she serves...
