|Not long after the Ullanor Crusade
|[[Laeran]]
|The [[Cleansing of Laeran]]. Their custom of swapping about between theatres means that the combat mission is nominally under the command of Lord Commander [[Vespasian]]. Many things occur during the final stages: Fulgrim gives [[Apothecary]] [[Fabius]] permission to attempt to improve the genetic abilities of the Astartes, using Laeran genetic engineering as his inspiration. [[Tarvitz]] and [[Lucius]] are both promoted to the rank of [[Captain]]. [[Terminator armour]] comes into issue in the legion, though both supplies of the suits and the relevant training are hard to come by. The legion is otherwise using Mk.IV [[power armour]]. [[Solomon Demeter]] is badly wounded. Fulgrim gains the [[daemonsword]] that will result in his damnation. The combat period of the Cleansing is just under 1 month.

|Laeran
|The Emperor's Children are still at Laeran; several remembrancers, including [[Bequa Kynska]] and [[Serena D'Angelus]], are allowed to explore the planet; their corruption begins. [[Julius Kaesoron]] is similarly becoming slowly corrupted. Solomon Demeter is still recovering from his wounds.

== Notes ==
===Luna Wolves===
*The Mournival exists for 200 years. Seeing as it is an advisory body to Horus made from Luna Wolves captains, this implies that Horus has been on the Great Crusade for that long, which is only about 3 years less than it's gone on for. Horus was likely found almost as soon as the GC started.
**The Luna Wolves warrior-lodge is said to exist since the start of the Legion - the Mournival is an offshoot from it - which contradicts the warrior-lodge being introduced to the legion on Davin, only some 60-odd years before the Heresy. The probable explanation is that the Davinite version of the lodge is different enough to the original version that the lodge-master Seghar Targost can claim the Davinite influence made it a new thing, whilst an old and somewhat casual member like Tarik Torgaddon considers them one and the same.
===Imperial Fists===
*Despite being recalled to Terra around the Crusade year 201, the Imperial Fists are apparently still trying to get there when the actual Heresy breaks out about 4 years later.
===General Time Problems===
*I think the official dates are out. Well, kinda out. While 'time-in-warp' versus 'real-time' is not equal, if you add up all the time markers, years pass. The fight against the Megarachnids takes 6 months and the war with the Technocracy takes 10! The opening of Galaxy in Flames is supposed to take place 1 year after Sinderman got burned. It's actually 14 + "some" months. So a year and a half, anyway.
*When Istvaan III takes place is a mess. It's around the end of 205.GC as we've already spent 5 months of the year at Auretia, plus the "some months" it takes to get to Istvaan - which is going to be around 3, due to the Death Guard getting the distress signal 4 months before everyone gets there. So, it's 8 months when they start the battle, which itself takes "2 to 3" months to fight. That's 10 or 11 months plus the errors inbuilt in the system as it's unlikely 63-19 took place at the exact start of 203.GC. So, New Year is probably during the fighting on Istvaan III. How festive.
===Emperor's Children===*The Pride of the Emperor is laid down about 160 years before Laeran, custom-built for Fulgrim's frippery nature. So this could mean's he's found at around 40 years into the Crusade. They could start building the ship at that time with the intent of giving it to the legion Primarch when he's found and it just gets all shiny and pretty later once his tastes are made clear...but the text doesn't really say that. He travels and the slowly rebuilding EC travel with Horus for almost 100 years.**So he and the Emp's Kids should go off and do their thing around 140-ish. This gives them 60-odd years to do that thing before Ullanor. Thing is, it's possible to read from the text annoyingly has vague wording that can be interpreted to mean that they are just leaving their team-up with the LW at Ullanor. This would support the low number of Laeran (28-3) and the fact that the Laer are "one of the first species" they've encountered by themselves. This is pretty impossible tho as the 100 year thing then indicates they didn't team up until around 102, 60 years after Mars started building Fulgrim's flagship, leaving ; what did Fulgrim with nowt to do for that 60 ears. years? So I guess they just didn't encounter many aliens. And the 28th Expedition isn't their first expedition fleet. Either that or And you have to read the stuff about "blahblahblah since leaving the LW at Ullanor" as literal, theywere there and then left. They weren're fantastically lazy t with them from their inception until there, that was a different time period. It would go:***Fulgrim found (c.42?)***Pride of the Emperor laid down c.42***Fulgrim and good EC travel with LW (c.42 - 102)***Fulgrim and EC go off to do own thing (102)***Hook up with LW again at getting away Ullanor (202)***Go off and do own thing again with new Exp no. (202)***Third (and first alien) world they do in a year is Laeran (202)This is a serious problem without further information, as the 'feel' of the text leans towards the later timeline for Fulgrim and EC - the only thing messing itup is the early build date of his flagship. However, it seems to make more sense that Fully and the EC are an 'old' legion, as they are very, very 'Imperial' and Fulgrim is mates with a lot of the other Primarchs. That's the one I'd rather go for, personally.
