Considering that anybody with access to a Wiki knows about the Blakist Jihad, they really don't have an option BUT to stay in the shadows.
There may be some Blakists that went over to the Adeptus Mechanicus, but the groups that took them in are probably Heretek practitioners (a Battlemech is pretty much a cheaper Titan, in their eyes. The FTL communications tech comes in handy, though, because that means that these Mechanicus groups don't depend on Astropaths to broadcast information amongst themselves), with some degree of paranoia as a result.
Continuing on the 40K angle, Zack, I thought at the beginning that there's no Imperial Palace remnants on Earth (as far as others have been able to find. No Golden Throne has been found -- however, the Astronomican remains and it burns pretty bright). I had the idea that there's an official order from the Emperor, broadcasted during the 23 Hours, to not go into a Crusade to take back Earth... well, yet. Rumors go all over the place from the Emperor sipping margaritas in Baja to just waiting for us to be hanging ourselves long enough to make taking over easier. This leads to further schism amongst the "canon" Imperium factions, those who wish to obey the orders of the God-Emperor and those who want to go "screw this! We'll take over Terra RIGHT NOW, dammit! The Emperor is going to order it anyway, so why not show some initiative?"
Although I'm okay with saying that there's some pieces of the Palace still around and the High Lords are holed up in them if that sounds better.
Hmm.... things being what they are, I wonder if this means there's a drop in the exchange rate for the C-Note?
