Many 'facts' about the Age of Technology are no more than legend.Īlthough a 'golden age' for Humanity in terms of scientific achievement, because of the catastrophic effects of the following Age of Strife in which so many of the technologies developed in this era were used to cause massive destruction and suffering on countless Human-settled worlds, much of Mankind has since come to regard advanced scientific knowledge as an abhorrent and dangerous commodity. This age occurred long before the current Age of the Imperium and knowledge of this time period is now incredibly sparse. Even tens of millennia later, Mankind has not been able to equal or regain its former height of achievement attained in this era. It saw the development of the first true Human interstellar civilisation and the birth of some form of stellar confederation centred on the Human homeworld of Terra. until the onset of the Age of Strife in the 25th Millennium.
