I personally love the 40k fluff, and Star Wars comes a close second. The stuff written by FFG is particularly good.
And to the people who say that 40k rips a lot of stuff: Warhammer 40k is a homage to a lot of the Sci-Fi Tropes, and they take these tropes and changes them into their own unique style.

The Emperor doesn't have a GKs unshakable faith in the Emperor which is....basically himself?

I never really played the games, but the books are great; ezpecially the ones Eric Nylund wrote
You never played Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST and Reach?
I played only first 2 parts and the game was EPIC. Didn't play later games because I am supporter for "shooters only for PC".
OP I see that SW is going well, I didn't doubt that - Lukas made just to damn good galaxy for us to enjoy  .
I played all of them but ODST, but since I've never owned a 360, I haven't played them much. They're cool games, but I perfer reading the books

Farscape for me but I am not sure how much actual background, other than the series and few feature lengths they did, there is to it.
So I went 40k and I definitely think Babylon 5 is a close 2nd and then Star Wars.
Andromeda is great too
