    • Lexicanum: Battle of Molech

  2. Position 2

    “009–010.M31” — a line in Lexicanum’s battle navbox: the list’s overall range, not the date of the battle; no publication giving 010.M31 has been found (checked 2026-10-18).

    • Lexicanum: Battle of Molech

Our position

Dispute resolved: the atlas holds 009.M31. The atlas used to treat the year as disputed (009 or 010.M31), citing “some Black Library publications”; the check of 2026-10-18 found no such publication — “010” came from the “009–010.M31” range in Lexicanum’s battle list, and a list’s range does not count as a date.
