'''The Forging''' is also known as the '''Golden Age of the Imperium'''.^{{Fn|1}}

During this period the [[Adeptus Terra]] brought the most important systems under its control and expanded the borders of the [[Imperium]]. Internal stability was gained with the establishment of [[Astropath|Astropath Astropathic Choir]]s on countless worlds and the discovery of valuable [[Standard Template Construct]]s from the [[Dark Age of Technology]]. Just like during the [[Great Crusade]] the Imperium expunged the forces of Chaos and [[Xenos]] alike in the galaxy and reclaimed lost regions.{{Fn|1}}
