The '''Age of Strife''', aka the '''Old Night''', was a destructive, anarchic and regressive time period prior to the forming of the [[Imperium]]. It followed the [[Dark Age of Technology]], which by all accounts was an age of great prosperity.The Age of Strife lasted from roughly [[M23]] to [[M30]].<sup>2</sup>
There were two causes leading to the end of the Age of Technology and the beginning of the Age of Strife: the first was the sudden appearance of [[psyker]]s on every human world. The second was the massive and persistent [[Warp]] storms erupting around the Sol System and other parts of the [[galaxy]].
