M38

Jump to: navigation, search

M38 or the 38th Millenium is a millenium within the Imperial Dating System.

There is a lack of clarity over whether 000.M38 or 001.M38 is the first year of the millenium, and whether 999.M38 or 000.M38 is the last year of the millenium. Most sources state that 001.M38 is the first year and 000.M38 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.M38 is the first year, and 999.M38 is the last. Events in 000.M38 thus may have been either at the start or end of the millenium. For more information see here.
