			The modern history of the Prosperitas Sector begins in 05.M41, when Jacinta Durovera, a Rogue Trader of modest standing, discovered the Great Crusade charts of the sector deep within the Imperial Astrocartographic Archives on Terra. Inspired by promised riches, the Rogue Trader commissioned an expedition to the Sector and arrived four years later in 09.M41.

			What followed, beginning with Jacinta Durovera's sack of what would become the planetary capital of Duroverum, was the beginning of what would become the Prosperitas Crusade as the Imperium sought to reclaim the entire sector for itself.

			For the most part, the Imperium framed its invasion of the region as a ‘liberation’ of the population from Regency rule and prioritised their conversion to the Imperial Cult.

			However, many populations found that they had replaced one totalitarian government with another, and despite promises, most natives were reduced to being an underclass unless they capitulated and collaborated with the Imperium. Combined with the arrival of Imperial colony ships, loaded with excess populations from Segmentum Solar, this bred a huge level of unrest amongst the natives of the sector, who feel that they are slowly losing control of what was once their own.

			Over five hundred years later, the Prosperitas Crusade is still slowly advancing, pushing back the wildspace with the dream of returning the sector to the same shape it had on those ancient charts now held within the Sector Governor's Palace on Duroverum. For the most part, however, it has ground to a halt, trapped in a quagmire of political disputes amongst its leaders, made worse by supply issues caused by waning Imperial interest from the Crusade's lack of recent successes.

In the resulting war Terra is besieged and, through a combination of destroyed charts and shifting warp tides, the Prosperitas Sector becomes one of the forgotten, lost regions of the galaxy. Local legends suggest that invading forces came from the Eye of Terror and took worlds in the Easternmost regions of the sector. From amongst these, a dark follower of the Archdaemon Horus was appointed to rule the sector - and so began a period (and government) that would last between M.31 and early M.41. This was known as the Regency.

	For over ten millennia the Sector was ruled by a ‘Regent of the Emperor’, an [[Archenemy]] tyrant.

For over ten millennia the Sector was ruled by a ‘Regent of the Emperor’, an [[Archenemy]] tyrant. There is significant evidence of native resistance during this period, which is why a considerable number of native populations have been spared immediate extermination in the years since reconquest of the Sector has begun.

			Most of the history of the Regency period was lost by extensive purges by the Holy Ordos and the Imperium, but some knowledge of this period was recorded by the native human inhabitants. Both the [[Annwfyn]] and [[Ruwwad]] were placed under the dominion of the invading forces under the so-called Regent of the Warmaster, and rule of the sector's worlds fell to various Priest-Kings of a heretical religion known as the '''Covenant of the Way''', the strongest of whom would be the next Regent. During this period, the sector was not particularly stable. Both the Annwfyn and Ruwwad have a history of resistance (which has, in some problematic instances, continued under Imperial rule) and many worlds were already independent of the Regency when the Imperium first arrived.

	It is only six years later in 592.M41 that the Inquisition becomes aware of what has occurred on Everholt - that a shape-shifting Daemon Prince known only as the 'Faceless Regent" has managed to replace the Sector Governor and gain control of the Sector. For the next three years while battles against the Archenemy rage along the Sector's Borders and internal strife threatens to tear the frontier sector apart, the Inquistion works to undermine the rule of this false-ruler lacking the resources or evidence to remove him in a bolder move, having had its power weakened over the years prior to 586 - likely due to the machinations of this same creature. In 594.M41, Inquisitorial Servants are no closer to working what the creatures ultimate goals were, but successfully banish it from reality while it apparently aids them against a far greater threat.

In 594.M41, Inquisitorial Servants are no closer to working what the creatures ultimate goals were, but successfully banish it from reality while it apparently aids them against a far greater threat.

	However over the course of the years from 592.M41 Inquisition Agents become increasingly aware of another powerful entity working quite literally in the shadows of the Prosperitas Sector. This creature, an Ur-Entity, a "Warp God" that predates known history has been trapped in a xenos-construct prison that the Imperium settled and called the Prosperitas Sector. Hemmed in by ancient machinery, the entity begins to slip its bonds. Born of the firstborn fears of all sentient life, this creature begins to induce nightmarish hallucinations and madness across the Sector. With the aid of the Faceless Regent the Inquisition are able to, apparently, drive the entity back in 594.M41 though knowledge of its existence significantly ~~changes~~ the ~~Inquisitions mission~~.		However over the course of the years from 592.M41 Inquisition Agents become increasingly aware of another powerful entity working quite literally in the shadows of the Prosperitas Sector. This creature, an Ur-Entity, a "Warp God" that predates known history has been trapped in a xenos-construct prison that the Imperium settled and called the Prosperitas Sector.

With the aid of the Faceless Regent the Inquisition are able to, apparently, drive the entity back in 594.M41 though knowledge of its existence significantly increases the interest of the wider Inquisition in the Prosperitas Sector - leading to the arrival of Lord Inquisitor Hektor Aetós in the sector and the formal formation of the Ordos Prosperitas.

			Alongside these esoteric threats, the Sector is attacked within and without, cult uprisings and rebellions mark these latter years of M.41 with victories and defeats for the Crusade coming over the years - the appointment of a new Warmaster, Sarina Khan I and the recovery of another Dragos Ulian I coming as major boosts to its moral in 585. Though the return of the exiled remnants of the Regency's Military forces in the same year presents new challenges for the campaign to conquer and tame the frontier space in the Prosperitas Sector.

			Internal strife comes from Warp Cults and the insurgents of the Rising Flame who both enjoy victories and defeats over these years. But there is no internal threat greater than the rising up of the [[Temple of the Saviour Emperor]] under Cardinal Grulge who, despite being excommunicated for his membership of this proscribed sect, manages to hold onto spiritual power and authority and, without Ecclesiarchy power to challenge him, remains in power at the end of these years forming his own religious state and seeking to gain influence over the remaining Imperial worlds of the Sector.
