==Humanity's Exodus==
And so thanks to the leadership of the Men of Gold (whatever the fuck they are), and potentially at least some of the Perpetuals (possibly in late M2 as well with early space programs), humanity was able leave Terra and explore the stars, kicking starting the mini era Known as the Stellar Exodus. Beginning in the especially important time of M3 (which includes the 21st century), humanity achieved many important developments. The Discovery of the Immaterium which would lead to millenia of warp research, The terraformation of Mars and colonization of the Solar system, and the beginnings of the colonization of the galaxy through the use of Ohnyl Cylinders and sub-light craft. These interstellar voyages, whether they were equipped with life preservation tech such as suspended animation chambers (and potentially more), or acting as a full time generation ships with generations of the on board community living and dying before reaching their destination, would descend into the void and begin a period of history known as the long march, [[Orks|with some of them meeting less than savory characters that would eventually see to their ends]]. This era would also mark the beginning of Humanity's mass divergence known as the Great Diaspora that would lead to many species of Abhumans, mutants, and beings that would be deemed completely abominable by the Imperium (such as the Olamic Quietude), whether by human voyagers modifying themselves to better suit their environments, or by evolving over time with little to no assistance from technology.

The Stellar Exodus overall seems like a relatively steady period of humanity history (with a possible apocalypse in M7). Curiously, Humanity's voyages into the galaxy had also created a unusual amount of biological Homogeneity with their settled worlds. Regardless, Human civilization went into hyper mode in M15, which would be the start of the final pre Imperial age, The Dark Age of Technology.
