Before the Emperor, before the Space Marines, and before the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium, humanity stood at the peak of civilization. This is the story of how it all fell apart.
What happens when, from one day to the next, the ships simply stop coming? In Part 1 of this 4-part Warhammer 40K Lore series, we trace humanity's golden era and catastrophic collapse:
• The height of the Dark Age of Technology and human expansion
• The brutal war against the Men of Iron (Cybernetic Revolt)
• How Warp storms shattered interstellar travel and severed Terra from its colonies
• The beginning of the devastating Age of Strife (Old Night)
Told through immersive personal perspectives, witness what it felt like when the galaxy went silent. Whether you are a seasoned Warhammer 40,000 lore enthusiast or completely new to the setting, this series is your deep-dive entry point into the far future.
Part 1 of 4. Every character in this narrative is invented; everything that happens to them happened to somebody in the lore. Canon remains marked as canon, and where interpretation is mine, it is clearly stated.

Pls keep up the nice work
For the younger generations, I'll profis 2020 and Covid.
Not getting political but behaviors were altered on a global scale...
Like 29 Oct 1927 or 7 Dec 1941. Those were global changes.
