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 an Ordo Minoris was established to study the anomalous passage of time during interstellar travel through the [[Inquisitionwarp]] . This is because of the fact that combat and prevent anomalies time works differently within the empyrean; in time due 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 use vessel while within the warp. Tales of such dreadful fates are common knowledge amongst void travellers and accepted as one of [[Warp]] the risks of warp travel. In extremely rare circumstances vessels may even arrive back into realspace at a time before they actually set out.{{Fn|3}}
==History=Era Indomitus===This Operatives of the Ordo is believed to have been established to study Chronos accompanied the temporal anomalies or other such effects that might emerge within the vicinity fleets of the [[Jericho ReachIndomitus Crusade]] with a view to controlling or combating them. , where they assisted shipboard [[InquisitorChronologians]]s of the Ordo Chronos were particularly concerned with calculating the effects of time distortions which could lead to a disruption of the proper flow of time due to unintended interventions in the past.

===Diappearance=Known Inquisitors==The Ordo Chronos has currently disappeared without a trace. Their true fate remains unknown, with some believing that they are in hiding whilst others hold the view that they came into competition with renegade factions of the *[[Adeptus MechanicusAppolus Bourgery]] in the pursuit of long forbidden technology. This is not the first Ordos to have vanished over the millennia - with some going merely quiescent for a period, and others purposely hiding deep enough that even other Inquisitors cannot find them. Regardless, the fate of the Ordo Chronos remains a mystery to those few that know of their existence, and some wonder whether they will emerge once more in the future.{{Fn|15b}}*[[August Helden IIV]]{{Fn|36}}*[[Mearghus]]
