Absolutely great post. This interpretation makes far more sense to me than any of the official material (in almost all versions of the game) that assumes the Imperium is largely benign. I never could see how that would actually work.
It's an oldy, but FASA's Fate of the Sky Raiders is a bit like this in terms of being a massive sandbox but enclosed. Different human groups rather than aliens and monsters, though.
In terms of interest in something like that but more gonzo, I'd definitely check out a preview if I saw it on...
