Emperor's Children

The following is a list of known events in the history of the Emperor's Children.

Year Event Description Notes on Dating Source(s)
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 The 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]
???.M30 The Antartic Clearance The III Legion leads Imperial Army Group Antilles to victory. [1]
???.M30 The Capture of Nadarin The III Legion leads the Bronze Host to victory. [1]

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]
???.M30 Rediscovery of Fulgrim The Emperor comes to Chemos and recruits Fulgrim to lead the III Legion, the 5th Primarch to be found. After Fulgrim addresses the two hundred surviving Astartes, the Emperor accepts the name he had given them, the Emperor's Children. Fifty years after his arrival on Chemos. [1]
???.M30 The Emperor's Children join Horus and the Lunar Wolves in the Great Crusade. [1]
840.M30 The Pride of the Emperor's keel is laid down in the Jupiter shipyards. 160 years before Laeran. [6b]
???.M30 The Emperor, Lorgar, Ferrus Manus, Rogal Dorn, Fulgrim, and representatives of their legions and the Ultramarines come to Nostramo and recruit Konrad Curze to lead the Night Lords Legion. [7][8]
869.M30 Compliance of Molech In the presence of the Emperor, Horus, Fulgrim, Lion El'Jonson, and Jaghatai Khan, the Knight World Molech is brought to Compliance. Cyprian Devine of House Devine is named Planetary Governor. The Emperor garrisons Molech with almost a hundred Imperial Army regiments, three Adeptus Titanicus cohorts, and detachments from two legions to protect a secret that he suppresses in the memories of his sons. [9][10]
???.M30 Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children set out on their own with the 28th Expedition Fleet for the Byzas Campaign, where attempt to conquer the world with just seven men. Some time before 970.M30, when the Luna Wolves are without the Emperor's Children. [11]
984.M30 Rogal Dorn objects to Konrad Curze and the Night Lords' brutal pacification of Cheraut. Curze nearly kills Dorn and is taken into custody, which he soon escapes, slaughtering the Imperial Fists and Emperor's Children guarding him. Template:CanonConflict The Index Astartes article puts the Cheraut incident in 7232826.M29. [12]
000.M31 The Ullanor Triumph The Ullanor Crusade comes to an end. The Emperor of Mankind and His armies destroy Ork warboss Urlakk Urg and the largest Ork empire in the galaxy. Fulgrim and the Emperor's Children attend the triumph celebrating the victory, where the Emperor names Horus His Warmaster, renames the Luna Wolves the Sons of Horus, and retires to Terra. [15b]
