Arcadian Sub-Sector

Arcadian Sub-Sector is an Imperial region of space in Sector Deus, part of Segmentum Obscurus, near the border with the Gehenna Reach and the Halo Stars beyond. It has been inhabited by humans since the Dark Age of Technology, but because its remote location and the numerous threats surrounding it the Sub-Sector suffered many terrible conflicts over the millennia that strained and in several cases broke unified control. This meant that the Imperium never managed to fortify its presence there and had to retake it several times.

The most recent return to Imperial control was made by Saint Belisarius, who organised a Reclamation Crusade in the beginning of M37. Under his dynasty the Sector prospered and guarded the northern flank of the Imperium, remaining in Imperial hands for a longer period of time than ever before.

However as time has passed it has grown weak and corrupt. In the beginning of 41st millenium it suffered a series of very strong rebellions and civil wars that escalate with each passing century. Today no one but the Emperor himself knows what the future holds for this damned cluster of worlds.

Wolfram Dynasty are a relatively recent arrivals to the Sub-Sector, establishing themselves on the world of Gangara in 358.M41.
