[Warhammer 40K] There is no warning. No one off Terra has any idea of what just happened... but due to a massive and unexpected earthquake, the Emperor is killed. What happens next, on Terra and beyond? What are the short term and long term implications?

Just as planned...

Short term, Chaos would roam almost unhindered, the Imperium's ships and astropaths would suddenly be cut off, more or less every psychically powered being would be driven insane by a sudden and unexpected darkness, as though a long-familiar light suddenly dies to leave a room in darkness.

There would not, for the Imperium of man at least, be a Long Term.
