This game is visually breathtaking!

I've never really gotten into the whole Warhammer 40k fandom; but I've always been very interested in it. Do you guys recommend any books that start more or less at the 'beginning' of the conflict? I wouldn't mind immersing myself in the lore
Otherwise I will be watching this LP for the amazing visuals and voice acting and of course explosions

The beginning of the conflict is what is called the Horus Heresy and there is around 43 novels from multiple authors dealing specifically with the period, if you don't want to read that many books, you can just go to Lexicanum to get your fill of 40k knowledge.

Also, why is the Navigator telling you how to maneuver in real space, and the Commissar giving out tactical advice on fleet combat? That is clearly not what their roles are supposed to be.

Most likely it's due to the fact that it's the tutorial missions. The captain realistically doesn't need to be told how to fly his ship. However since the player is unlikely to be an orphan trained since childhood at a special school to be a Imperial Navy Officer and survived decades of battle and office politics to be captain they have to make some story allowances for the sake of gameplay.
