|The [[Dark Age of Technology]] ends, and the [[Age of Strife]] begins. [[Terra]] and all Human colonies are gradually isolated from each other by the powerful [[warp storm]]s that suddenly begin to rage throughout the galaxy. [[Warp travel]] along with interstellar trade consequently becomes increasingly difficult until all but impossible. The interdependency of human planets eventually breaks down entirely. Several Human worlds, including Terra, dependent on trade to feed their enormous populations enter a long period of revolt, anarchy, and civil war due to famine. Some even regress to barbarity. The rate of mutation increases dramatically throughout all Human worlds. Isolationism leads to the development of [[Abhuman]]s. Several alien races, especially the [[Orks]], take advantage of the situation to raid and plunder many of the Human colonies. Other colonies are conquered or completely destroyed. Some worlds are dominated by [[Psyker|Human psykers]] and other mutants only to fall prey to Warp creatures, as [[Daemon]]s appear possessing and/or consuming the weak and inexperienced psykers. Amid the confusion and chaos, the [[STC]] systems and knowledge about them are largely lost. Humanity is gradually pushed to the brink of annihilation. This state continues until [[M30]].
