So this is even further into the future, perhaps around 300,000 AD? The God-Emperor is long dead and the Imperium of Man is utterly forgotten. The Necrons won in the end, from the sound of it by sealing off warp-space from real-space - no warp-access, no psykers, and without psykers, the God-Emperor...

20 BBY? 21 BBY? So the bit with the Necron's temple takes place 20 years before the Battle of Yavin, and the two paragraphs with the freighter takes place one year before the temple scene?

The message could be interpreted as "We just killed ourselves - please don't copy us". Another possibility is "Our leaders just blew us up - we ask for asylum"/ Or "Somebody just blew us up for no reason - please defend yourselves." When the allies hit the beaches on No...

In Orbit of Botany Bay, Coreward Periphery December 5. 2999 A.D. [/i] Nightmare was just a hundred meters off the alien ship. And Captain Ratliff felt no problem with thinking of it as alien.

When did Adama become Admiral? It was explained a bit earlier that Adama was granted overall command due to vast experience. The title was agreed on off-camera, as I'm trying not to clutter the story. The Botany Bay folks, following their customs in titles, wanted to call him "Space Chief"...
