## Founding - M31

The Daelwyn Sub-sector was founded during the early M31, in the midst of the Great Scouring, when the warp storm known as the Warp Spiders Web was discovered. At that time, the warp storm was weaker and human colonies had been established beyond its veil. However, these colonies were on the frontier of human colonisation and of little value, except to rogue traders seeking profit.

Despite this, not much is known about what lay beyond the web as all contact was lost when the warp storm rapidly intensified in late M31. What remained of Sector Hyperious was only the Sub-sector that would eventually become known as Daelwyn, although it was not officially named that in those days. It was referred to by the Administratum as Staging Ground SEG-TEMP-GSW-01, or locally as the Bay.
