The '''Imperium of Man''', also called the '''Imperium of Mankind''' and simply called the '''Imperium''', is the galactic empire under which the majority of [[humanity]] is united. The founder and nominal ruler of the Imperium is the god-like [[Emperor of Mankind]], the most powerful [[human]] [[psyker]] ever known.
The Imperium is the largest and most powerful political entity in the [[galaxy]], consisting of at least a million worlds which are dispersed across most of the galaxy. An Imperial planet might be separated from its closest neighbour by hundreds or thousands of light years. As a stellar empire, the size of the Imperium cannot be measured in terms of contiguous territory, but only in the number of planetary systems in its control.
