Scarus Sector

the Scarus Sector, a division of the Segmentus Obscurus close to the Eye of Terror. Known sub-sectors include Helican, Antimar, Angelus and Ophidian. This sector is the theatre of operation for the renowned Inquisitors Eisenhorn and Ravenor. The Helican subsector is the site of the Helican Scism, a wave of rebellion, terrorism and sabotage that swept the area. The Ophidian Subsector is noted for being the site of the Ophidian Campaign (also known as the Purge Campaign), in which Battlefleet Scarus wrested control of the subsector from heretic forces. The campaign lasted from 240.M41 to 337/338.M41 - a considerable achievement in such a timescale. Lately the Scarus Sector has been plagued by invasions of orks, who attacked en masse during the last Black Crusade (a campaign led from the Eye of Terror by Abaddon the Despoiler himself) and greenskin infestation remains a very real problem in this corner of the Imperium
