Scarus Sector

The Scarus Sector is a division of the Segmentum Obscurus close to the Eye of Terror. It borders the Calixis Sector Rimward, the Ixaniad Sector Trailing and the Askellon Sector Coreward.

Overview

Following the 13th Black Crusade, 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] The Scarus Sector was also the main area of operation for the Inquisitors Gregor Eisenhorn and Gideon Ravenor.^[1]

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]
