The '''Ordo Chronos''',{{Fn|3}} sometimes rendered '''Ordo Chronus''',{{Fn|5a}} are an [[Inquisition#Ordo Minoris|Ordo Minoris]] of the [[Inquisition]] that combat and prevent anomalies in time due to the use of [[Warp travel]],{{Fn|3}} hunting down those considered chronologically improbable and erasing them.{{Fn|5a}}
The '''Ordo Chronos''' are one of was established to study the smaller Ordo Minoris anomalous passage of time during interstellar travel through the [[Inquisitionwarp]], and it . This is thought because of the fact that they studied time works differently within the empyrean; in rare circumstances, vessels can arrive at their destination much later than intended - for example taking centuries to arrive whilst only months have passed onboard the passage of time when traveling trough vessel while within the warp. Few Tales of such dreadful fates are common knowledge amongst void travellers and accepted as one of the [[Ordo Calixis]] have heard risks of the Ordo, and warp travel. In extremely rare circumstances vessels may even fewer possess any real knowledge as to their true purposearrive back into realspace at a time before they actually set out.{{Fn|13}}
It ==History==This Ordo is thought that their Ordo was believed to have been established to study the anomalous passage temporal anomalies or other such effects that might emerge within the vicinity of time during interstellar travel through the [[warpJericho Reach]]with a view to controlling or combating them. This is because [[Inquisitor]]s of the fact Ordo Chronos were particularly concerned with the effects of time distortions that could lead to a disruption of the proper flow of time works differently within due to unintended interventions in the empyrean; vessels undertaking a journey taking months can past. Such actions are deemed as interference in rare circumstance emerge to discover that centuries have passed within the mortal realm, despite fate of Mankind and against the intentions will of the vessel's [[NavigatorGod-Emperor]]. Such dreadful tales are common knowledge amongst void travellers Over the course of centuries, the Ordo Chronos expanded their mandate to relate to all forms of temporal phenomena and accepted as one of include other such events that might be a deliberate attempt to interfere with the risks flow of warp traveltime. Even rarer within {{Fn|1}} Before the [[Imperium]] are tales disappearance of all Ordo Chronos members, the [[HumanDeathwatch]] vessels entering the warp, only to emerge at an earlier point partook in historya joint operation with them.{{Fn|12}}

Some believed to have been established to study that they were in hiding whilst others hold the temporal anomalies or other such effects view that might emerge within the vicinity they came into competition with renegade factions of the [[Jericho ReachAdeptus Mechanicus]] with a view to controlling or combating themin the pursuit of long forbidden technology. [[Inquisitor]]s of This is not the first Ordo Chronos were particularly concerned with the effects of time distortions which could lead to a disruption of have vanished over the proper flow of time due to unintended interventions in the past. Such actions are deemed as interference in the fate of Mankind and against the will of the [[Godmillennia -Emperor]]. Over the course of centurieswith some going merely quiescent for a period, the Ordo Chronos expanded their mandate to relate to all forms of temporal phenomena and include whilst others were purposely hiding so deep that even other such events that might be a deliberate attempt to interfere with the flow of timeInquisitors could not find them.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3}}
