Notes

There is a lack of clarity over whether 000.M33 or 001.M33 is the first year of the millennium, and whether 999.M33 or 000.M33 is the last year of the millennium. Most sources state that 001.M33 is the first year and 000.M33 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.M33 is the first year, and 999.M33 is the last. Events in 000.M33 thus may have been either at the start or end of the millennium. For more information see here.
