Orpheus Sector



The Orpheus Sector was famed Sector Imperialis only recently revoked by orders of the High Lords of Terra, following its devastation in the still ongoing Orphean War. The planets of the Orpheus Sector are counted amongst the oldest celestial bodies within the galaxy, planets whose soil held a dark secret... Yet, for four millennia, the Orpheus has been a powerhouse of Imperial might, a stonghold of the Imperium of Mankind at the outer borders of the Segmentum Tempestus, boasting its own warfleet and proud history. Although its days of glory long rested in the distant past, the Orpheus Sector has defiantly stood on the Imperium’s frontier despite being plagued by several strange warp phenomena, xenos raids and Chaos-led uprisings. However, every thing changed when an old menace in form of the Maynark Dynasty awoke. Belonging to the vile breed of Xenos known as Necrons to the Emperor’s Holy Inquisition, this enemy would lay waste the entire sector in a few short months, ravaging its worlds and conducting genocidal campaigns of extermination on planetary scales. With so many forces bound to counter the threat of the Tyranids in the Ultima Segmentum, the Imperium has been left with no other choise than to abandon the sector and eventually reclaim it when enough troops and vessel can be gathered to launch a proper Imperial Crusade.
