So i was wondering what if theoreticly a xeno race existed on some planet that had not achived space travel or modern tech for argument sake lets say like the lizard men from whfb.

Now lets say a demon envation started to happen on said planet and the lizard men went into hideing then along comes some sect of the IoM be it guards men space marines or even gk. so they wipe out the demons and the lizard men worship them as gods or accept that the emperor is god would said sct of the IoM still kill them all or belike "uhhhh cool were gonna peace out now later" and just leave them or what?

Really kind of depends on who's in overall command of the Expeditionary Force that saves the planet. Certain factions of the Ecclesiarchy or the Inquisition will basically enslave these people, much as they do with the various abhumans, while other factions will eradicate them.

Purge the daemons, scrub the planet of any witnesses of the breach (this would probably be the stage where the intelligent xenos are hunted down to extinction), and put the planet on a quarantine until the inquisition deems it safe for mining or colonization (could be a year.. could be never; depending on the type of daemonic incursion). The inquisition might even blame the primitive xenos for the breach. Although admittedly this scenario seems a little far fetched to me. I do not believe the Imperium would devote resources to fighting a daemonic incursion on such a world unless they believed it held a significance to the Imperium.. in which case the xenos more than likely would have been purged eventually anyway.

Demon invasion on a planet that is not currently part of the IoM and has primative xenos? I would guess they woulden't even get down to the planet, not worth the risk, unless it was a very minor event. Probably virus bomb the place to make sure there is no taint left the quarenteen it for as long as is needed. Possibly even use a two stage cyclonic torpedo is the planet has little worth. What ever happend I would say the lizard men would be killed.

The IoM wouldn't care if its not one of their planets.


Now if the Planet was marked for colonization or something and the lizardmen lived there, then there might be problems(lets ignore the daemon invasion for now)

The Imperium would probably leave them alone as long as they left the colony alone, and until the Imperium needed to expand on the lizard's land. At which point they would exterminate them.

Or as with ogryns and such devoted themselves to the emporer they would be fine

Ogryns are ab-humans, not xenos.

Nominally, they should be wiped out.

Also, this bears a striking resemblance to something described in the BT codex- some xenos worshiping a fallen Dark Angel, I think.

if it was to be colonisation, they would get purged.Otherwise, it depents who found them
