05: History of Mankind Part 1 | Warhammer 40K Lore

In this episode, we take a summarising stroll through thirty thousand years of human history. Starting with the Age of Terra we discuss the diaspora of humanity and the generational ships they used. The Age of Technology sees the advent of warp travel, the "coincidental" birth of Navigators and the ultimate collapse of the interstellar human empire thanks, in part, to the AI-fuelled pogroms of the Men of Iron. The Age of Strife, or Old Night, is covered as the horror of a post-apocalyptic stellar empire is explored. We then turn our eyes back to Terra and the not-at-all genocidal Unification war of the Emperor of Man.
