Verdictus Frontier

The Verdictus Frontier was a region of space located directly to the immediate galactic east of the , near the . Comprised of seven (Verdictus Alpha through Verdictus Zeta, plus the Verdicta Sector), the Verdictus Frontier was, rather unusually for a region of space so close to the Eye of Terror, relatively poorly explored by the , with only the eastern half of the frontier being heavily populated by . The western portion, meanwhile, was primarily inhabited by the of the Tuffskullz Empire, whose presence the Imperium tolerated due to their preoccupation with continually launching attacks against forces around the edge of the Eye.
In 931.M41, however, the Tuffskullz turned their attention towards the Imperium after being lured to the of Prinarus IX by a raiding band of whom had launched an attack on one of the Orks' worlds. This turn of events, orchestrated by a warband of the , would culminate in a massive incursion of both Orks and Chaos forces into the Verdictus Frontier that would develop into the devastating Verdictus Crusade.
While the Imperium would ultimately manage to maintain control of the Verdictus Frontier, the splintering of the Tuffskullz Empire that would be instrumental in enabling this would also leave the frontier far less protected from the forces of Chaos than before, and the Sarveth Ur'Kash would use this in the years following the Verdictus Crusade to help enable incursions into the nearby Ulgroth Sector, resulting in the Ulgroth Crusade.
Ultimately, when at the hands of in 999.M41, the Verdictus Frontier would be swallowed by the as it tore the in two, damning the frontier's worlds forever.
