Scarus Sector
The Scarus Sector is a division of the Segmentum Obscurus close to the Eye of Terror.[1][2] It borders the Calixis Sector Rimward, the Ixaniad Sector Trailing and the Askellon Sector Coreward.
Overview
The Scarus Sector was originally named after Captain Scarus of the 52nd Company of the Word Bearers Legion (by decree of Lorgar). Captain Scarus and his entire company was lost to the warp during passage through the sector during The Pilgrimage.[3]
In the early-mid M41, the sector was also the main area of operation for the Inquisitors Gregor Eisenhorn and Gideon Ravenor.[1]
Following the 13th Black Crusade, the Orks have taken the opportunity to invade the Scarus Sector and continual Ork infestation remains a very real problem in this corner of the Imperium.[2]
