| rdfs:comment | - The Imperial Dating System was established by the Great King during the Unification.
- The Imperial Dating System of the Imperium of Man, also known as the Imperial Calendar, is fairly complex in nature, and has been structured so as to deal with the vast amount of recorded history that exists in the 41st Millenium and the massive distances between settled human worlds, which can lead to long periods of isolation. Also the vagaries and time-warping effects of the Immaterium can make it almost impossible to keep accurate track of time over long journeys. The Imperium has developed its own method of recording dates, which needs a bit of explanation. Most importantly, the years are always "Anno Domini" (AD) using the numbering system of our own present-day Gregorian Calendar, so the dates themselves are the ones that we are familiar with now. A typical date as Imperial scholars

A typical date as Imperial scholars write it would look something like 0123456.M41. This date can be divided up so that each part is explained separately: 0 123 456 M41 = Check Number/Year Fraction/Year/Millennium
