The Prosperitas Sector: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 15:55, 2 March 2023

Welcome, Servant, to the Prosperitas Sector. You will have navigated the Sol-Prosperitas Passage through the unusual warp tides that make that approach so dangerous, or perhaps you have navigated the Cadian Trade Corridor with all its dangers of Archenemy and Xenos pirates. Both these narrow points make entry the Prosperitas Sector difficult, and renders it one of the most isolated regions in the entire Imperium. This is the frontier: far from civilisation, far from home, and on the very edge of Imperial civilisation. Perhaps you were born here, and know that fact very well...

The poor treatment of local populations, the presence of heretic cults that survived the initial invasion, the looming threat of the Archenemy, and the ongoing military operations of the Prosperitas Crusade ensure that the sector is one of the Imperium’s most volatile and difficult to control regions. To make matters worse, the slaughter of many in the Ordos Prosperitas several years ago has spread the Inquisition thin, leaving critical blind spots in its vigilant watch against the enemies of mankind.

History

Geography

Ethnicity

The descendants of the original Imperial colonists exist today in the form of the Annwfyn ethnic group, found on the spinward planets of Subsector Secundus and the rimward planets of Subsector Primus, and the Ruwwad ethnic group, found primarily on worlds in the trailing (west) region of Subsector Secundus and the rimward parts of Subsector Tertius.

It is easy to tell an Imperial Settler from a native; the majority of settlers speak Low Gothic, and perhaps High if they are educated, but are familiar with no other tongues. Most have names that originate in pre-Imperial Germanic and Latin-speaking cultures. Natives are much more likely to have Annwfyn or Ruwwadi names, and may speak one of the (forbidden) languages of those cultures.

 === History ===
-The Sector has only been under Imperial rule since the early 100s.M41 - a little under 500 years. Before that, it was under the control of the [[Regency]], a heretical, Chaos-worshipping cult. Some areas of the Sector were pacified far more recently, and some are still restless.

 === Geography ===
-Located spinward (galactic east) of the Cadia Sector, and rimwards (galactic north) towards space unclaimed by the Imperium, the Prosperitas Sector sits right upon the edge of the huge spatial anomaly known as the [[Threats of the Prosperitas Sector|Eye of Terror]]. It is strategically important, as it represents one of the few resource heavy sectors able to supply the defences around the Eye to protect the Imperium from the Dark Forces that dwell within that twisted space.
