Forerunner Wars

The Forerunner Wars were a series of conflicts after the Ascension, starting in 2430 with the First Scawic War. The Wars saw the Techumic Imperium clashing with the two organic Fallen Empires in its vicinity, the Scawic Protectors and Jalaekudan Archivists. Typically, the Forerunner Wars are seen as the point where the Imperium became the undisputed hegemon of the Galactic West, if not the galaxy as a whole.

In historiography and periodization, the Forerunner Wars are typically thought of as including the First Scawic War or the War of the Shield (2430-2431 AD/3-4 Imperial), the Second Scawic or Retribution War (2445-2447 AD/18-20 Imperial), the Third Scawic War or the First Purge (2458-2461/31-34 Imperial), the First Jalaekudan War or the War Against the Archivists (2469-2471 AD/42-43 Imperial), the Fourth Scawic War or Second Purge (2472-2474 AD/45-46 Imperial), the Second Jalaekudan or Short War (2484 AD/57 Imperial), and the Fifth Scawic War or Third Purge (2487-2488 AD/60-61 Imperial).
