Jericho Reach

This article is a stub

The Jericho Reach is located in Ultima Segmentum at the borders of the Imperium. At its center lies the Hadex Anomaly, within which several Daemon Worlds exist. The Jericho Reach is connected to the Koronus Expanse in Segmentum Obscurus through the Jericho-Maw warp gate. ^{1, pp. 322}

Currently a bastion of Chaos, several other threats have also set their eyes on the Reach. Hive Fleet Dagon invades into the region from the northeast. In the south, the Tau have colonized several worlds. Since 777th M41 the Imperium has been pursuing the Achilus Crusade, also known as the Dead Crusade. The troops and fleets involved in the Crusade are from the Segmentum Obscurus and use the warp gate to travel to the area, which would otherwise take years of travel in the warp to surmount any decent offensive. ^{1, pp. 337}

History

The Jericho Reach used to be called the Jericho Sector before years of silence from the Imperium left the Sector to fall into decay and eventually Chaos. For thousands of years Chaos has been left to fester in the once rich Imperial worlds, watched only by silent posts manned by the Deathwatch.
