Primarch and Honkai Impact

Humans have been looking up to the stars since their birth on ancient Terra (Earth). Birth and death, salvation and killing, creation and destruction, endless wars, erupting and extinguishing one after another. Ancient civilizations appeared and disappeared one after another. Perhaps all this is both the nature of the human heart and the price that must be paid to allow the human species to go into deep space. No matter what, these costs are not easily forgotten, and even after the 40th millennium, they still haunt the human soul.

1000th to 15th millennium

Humans rule the earth.

After a long period of development, in the 15th millennium, humans slowly began to use sub-light speed aircraft to leave their home star and the solar system. They began to colonize the surrounding star systems. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and the moons of Neptune all have human footprints and colonies.

As space colonial spacecraft flew toward farther and farther galaxies, some later colonies relied on the speed of sub-light aircraft to reach the distance from the earth, which already took several generations or even more than a dozen generations to reach. These distant colonies gradually became self-sufficient and independent regimes from the mother of the solar system.

【Dark Ages】

15th to 18th millennium

Humanity began to use sublight spacecraft to colonize the stars. Initially, only the neighboring star systems could be reached. After ten generations of journey, the new colony was separated from the earth and had to fend for itself in order to survive.

In the 18th millennium. The subspace engine was developed. These advanced and powerful machines can tear a "rip" in the real physical universe and allow spacecraft to sail into subspace.

The subspace is a world of pure energy, like a mirror of the physical universe. It is influenced by real space, but it is not the same. Conventional time, space and physical laws cannot be used to explain the movement of subspace. Although unpredictable and complex energy flows, as well as a number of other problems, can make warp navigation dangerous. But those spaceships equipped with subspace engines can also take advantage of the instability of time and space in subspace to travel at faster than light speeds. Navigating through subspace, a voyage that previously took hundreds of years to complete may now only take a few months. This cross-era navigation technology has greatly accelerated the expansion of human beings among the stars.

Distant colonies that were previously inaccessible due to technical reasons began to be able to communicate closely with humans in other locations. Technology developed rapidly during this period. People invented standard construction templates, a convenient production technology referred to as stc, and powerful artificial intelligence to support the increasingly faster space colonization movement.

But behind the development of civilization, most people are not aware of the real dangers of subspace and its true face. In the mirror, there are a few pairs of eyes silently watching the growth of the human race.

18th Millennium to 22nd Millennium

The invention of the Warp Drive accelerated the pace of colonization of the galaxy. Federations and empires abound. The first contact with aliens, the first alien war broke out.

At the same time, humans first proved the existence of psykers among humans at this time. Psykers began to appear throughout the human world.

【Golden Age】

22nd Millennium to 25th Millennium

The birth of the first navigator allowed human spaceships to jump faster and farther into subspace.

Science and technology have accelerated their progress, and mankind has entered the golden age of enlightenment.

The human world has been unified within the universe and has signed non-aggression pacts with dozens of alien races.

In the 22nd Millennium, more and more psykers appeared among the people. Psykers are a variant of humans who are able to sense the existence of the subspace and can use the energy of the subspace autonomously or uncontrollably through mental power. Although these psykers' abilities were scientifically proven for the first time, they were not the first individuals to possess this special talent. It is reported that as early as the barbaric era before humans came to space, people such as shamans in some ancient tribes had already learned and mastered the skills to use these special talents.

Later, the first batch of special mutants called Navigators were also put into the work of subspace navigation. These special pilots have the "navigator gene". As the navigators of the spacecraft, they can observe the unpredictable energy flow in subspace with the powerful technology of the time. This guides the ship to safely and accurately move toward its destination when navigating in subspace. The emergence of the navigator allows the spacecraft to travel in subspace farther and faster. This further promotes the development of human civilization. At this time, human power had almost expanded to the entire galaxy.

Countless worlds have been colonized and developed, and countless powerful technologies have been invented. People in this era live in a civilized, wealthy, and arrogant society. The power of science and technology has become truth, and human political power has also been unified under the light of science and technology. During this period, humans also encountered aliens and fought wars with these alien forces. But powerful technology ensured that humans won these conflicts, and dozens of alien forces concluded non-aggression pacts with humans. Civilization reached its peak at this time, and this era was also called the "Golden Age" by later generations.

【Era of Conflict】

Twenty-fifth millennium to twenty-sixth millennium

Terrifying warp storms cut off interstellar travel. Storms occurred only sporadically initially, but eventually prevented all warp jumps.

Human mutation rates skyrocket. Humanity has entered a dark age of chaos and despair.

Twenty-sixth to thirtieth millennium

A rebellion caused by artificial intelligence swept the entire galaxy.

During the Dark Age of Technology, Iron Man was a smarter robot created by the Thing to help them colonize the galaxy.

The Iron Men were programmed to be loyal only to humanity and serve as their army in their war against alien civilizations across the galaxy. In the middle of M23, they betrayed their human masters, believing that they were far superior to the human race that relied on the protection of the Iron Man to survive in the galaxy.

A cruel and bloody war broke out between humans and artificial intelligence AI, although in the end humans paid a heavy price and suppressed the rebellion of AI.

But the world has been torn apart by civil wars, rebellions, and alien plunder and invasion. Countless technologies have been forgotten, and mankind has never been able to return to the peak of the Golden Age. Some worlds were dominated by human psykers and other mutants, and soon fell prey to the creatures of the Warp. Humanity is on the verge of destruction.
