== Chaos Intervention Timeline ==
{{Topquote|- ''[[Dark Mechanicus]]'': We're repelled first wave, that tiny patrol. Now second wave of enemies are incoming. The ship commander of "One Hundred Thousandth And Five Hundredth Order" - the xenos officer in trenchcoat, whose arm you cut off - has reported to his superiors and to "Galactic Council" of "Galactic Republic", what Terra is infested and guarded by legions of Hell, and therefore must be [[Exterminatus|destroyed]] immediately, lest terrible things will happen what will ruin entire Galactic Community. Currently, second attack forces are mix of large swarm of OHTAFHO forces, even bigger swarm of [[Tarpit|Space Policemen]], some sort of unimaginably large "doom weapon" what drives our radar mad, and a bunch of strange 8-armed, bone-chitin clad, super-dense bio-engineered space marines capable of surviving direct nuke impact.<br>- ''[[Alpha Legion]] member'': Well, we did volunteer ''because'' it won't be boring. [[Just As Planned|We know in advance where they arrive, from which direction to attack, and where to shoot their big dumb thing to disable it]]. Keep eye on non-[[Tzeench]] cultists - as they don't understand ''why'' we need to ''save'' [[Holy Terra]] instead of ''defiling'' it, and quickly get mad; just as second wave arrives, cultists will erupt onto our positions in mad, dumbfounded rage - [[Just As Planned|only to accidentally end up charging into xenos]]. And, '''by any means necessary''', make sure what [[The God-Emperor of Mankind|Anathema]] doesn't get a spaceship.|Chaos combat report on bridge.}}
In this timeline, [[Chaos]] ends up intervening on [[Holy Terra]] during early [[Age of Terra]]. Maybe, they don't want to live with [[The God-Emperor of Mankind|Jimmy Space]], and therefore want to attack them when they're still weak. Maybe, some xenos attacked Earth in attempt to destroy it, and [[Chaos]] was forced to protect the Earth to not get erased from existence due to Grandfather Paradox.

Either way, [[Earth]] gets corrupted by [[Chaos]] even before inventing FTL drive. Cue entire history being unpredictably warped. Since Chaos is self-destructive, it's unclear if humanity would even survive to interstellar age if corrupted from the very beginning. Since [[Chaos]] is very ''chaotic'', it's also very hard to predict how it goes in once humanity does reach interstellar age. 

The [[Chaos]] intervention is 3-way-fight. First, we have invading Xenos, who are type we never seen before, and want to capture or destroy the Terra. Then, there's [[Chaos]] forces trying to protect Terra, so they won't get erased out of existence by Grandfather Paradox - and maybe, also try to corrupt the Terra. And then there's [[The God-Emperor of Mankind]], who tries to protect Earth, but struggles to do so - as he isn't yet a God back then, doesn't have spaceship, and doesn't have good gear.
