Something about the Draconites does not make sense - have anyone figured out an answer on the issue below?

On page 202 in the Core Rules it states that the Draconites originated from the crew of the Zenith (which arrived in the Third Horizon in -5 CC):

"The faction originated in the part of the crew of the Zenith that valued resolve and willpower above all else. They viewed the commanding Quassar
and Yriedes families as too entrenched in the discussions about what to do with the colonists in stasis, and instead went ahead and woke them up on their own. They were among the first to leave the Zenith after the awakening, disappearing into the dark."

...but on page 189 in the Core Rules it states that the Draconites were part of the Portal War and assisted in hunting down the Nazareem’s
Sacrifice, something that happened around 100 cycles BEFORE the Zenith arrived in the Third Horizon…

"Not much is known of this Firstcome faction, other than that they were hunted down by their brothers and sisters in the Order of the Pariah and
the Draconites, supported by the other Firstcome factions and the Legion.

How could the Draconites have been part of the Portal War Before they arrived with the Zenith? Is the reference to the Draconites on page 189 an error?
What is the official answer to this (I can come up with a number of theories on my own).

Am I missing something?

Is among your theories the possibility that the reference to Draconites in pg. 189 is just a mistake and should talk about the Ahlam's Temple instead?

Pg. 206: "[The Black Lotuses] played a crucial role in the destruction of the Nazareem’s Sacrifice"

I rationalised it by deciding that there were two factions that merged. There was a Draconite faction in the Third Horizon who took part in the Portal Wars and which later vanished into the shadows of the Third Horizon. Flash forward to the Zenith arriving and a faction arises amongst the crew and who left the Zenith. Those that left discovered remnants/bases/artefacts of the original Draconite faction and assumed their name and identify, fusing the identifies of the two groups into what is known as the Draconites in the ‘current day’.
