Trivia

The following information is not to be regarded as officially sanctioned and/ or is not written from an in-universe point of view. A detailed explanation of the term "Trivia" as used in the Lexicanum can be found here.

There is a lack of clarity over whether 000.M32 or 001.M32 is the first year of the millennium, and whether 999.M32 or 000.M32 is the last year of the millennium. Most sources state that 001.M32 is the first year and 000.M32 the last year. Since the creation of these articles Lexicanum has worked off of what is stated in the 5th Edition Rulebook, that being that 000.M32 is the first year, and 999.M32 is the last. Events in 000.M32 thus may have been either at the start or end of the millennium. For more information see here.
