Talk:Dark Age of Technology

Hello, some more misspelling to correct

The STC and the Emergence of Psykers 

It was during the Age of Technology that psykers were first scientifically verified to exist, after long millennia of legend, rumor and pseudoscience in which the scientific establishment simply could not prove the existence of psychic powers among humans.

On the more progressive and technologically-advanced human colonies, these psykers -- at least until the threat of daemonic possession became apparent -- were protected by law and allowed to develop and explore their abilities. On other, less sophisticated human worlds, they were often killed in literal witch-hunts and anti-psyker pogroms.

One of the reasons humanity was so successful at conquering a large part of the galaxy was the development of the artificially intelligent humanoid constructs now only known in fragmentary pre-Imperial records as the Men of Iron.

The economy of the human federation had already been damaged by the terrible wars against the Men of Iron, and the growing frequency and extent of the Warp Storms caused trade and communication between the human colonies to collapse, restoring the isolation of human settled planets and star systems.

The 5,000 Terran years following the end of the Dark Age of Technology is thus aptly named the Age of Strife by the servants of the Imperium of Man.
