| Unification Wars | ||||
| ca. 750.M30 | The Primarch Project | The Emperor of Mankind combines advanced Martian genetic engineering with the warpcraft he learned from the Chaos Gods to create the primarchs and the gene-seed prototypes. The Chaos Gods steal the gestating primarchs from the Emperor's laboratory deep beneath Terra and scatter them across the galaxy. | "Over two hundred years" before Davin. | [2][3] |
| ca. 780.M30 | The Emperor's geneticists refine the creation of the gene-seed that will allow him to create the Space Marine Legions. | [2] | ||
| ca. 780.M30 | First Founding | The Emperor uses DNA samples from the Primarchs to create twenty Space Marine Legions. Grabya's Theorem demonstrates how Primarch genetic data could be used to stabilize genetic development of Space Marines. Sorian's Inductus Excelsus shows requirements for more warriors is vast. Accelerated gene-culturing techniques implemented, reducing processing time to create Space Marine to one year. However, accelerated gene-seed has unseen fundamental flaws. | "Most of the flaws in gene-seed structure will be written out in the course of the coming decades." | [4] |
| ???.??? | The Antartic Clearance | The III Legion leads Imperial Army Group Antilles to victory. | [1] | |
| ???.??? | The Capture of Nadarin | The III Legion leads the Bronze Host to victory. | [1] | |
| ???.??? | The Fifth Raising of Jove-Sat II | [1] | ||
| The Great Crusade | ||||
| 798.M30 | The Great Crusade | Warp-dilated horologs state that the Great Crusade begins around this time. | [5] | |
| ca. 829.M30 | The Proxima Betrayal | An insurrectionist cell attacks the compliance ceremony on Proxima. The Legio Custodes and Astartes of the XVI Cohort of the III Legion defend the Emperor of Mankind, giving their lives so he can get to safety. In recognition of their sacrifice, the Emperor grants the III Legion the right to bear the Palatine Aquila in their heraldry and the right to invoke Exterminatus on Proxima. | [1] | |
| ca. 830.M30 | The III Legion's gene-seed reserves fail to arrive at the vaults on Luna and an artificial pathogen obliterates several gene-seed vaults on Terra, sealing the fate of the Legion. | In the "fourth decade of the Crusade," the "early decades of the III Legion's existence," and "Coming within a solar year" of Proxima | [1] | |
