Editing Setting:Ætern Sector (section)

==Summary==
'''The Ætern Sector''' is a part of the [[Imperium of Man]] skirting the edges of the Veiled Regions, and within the bounds of [[Segmentum]] Tempestus.  Imperial forces carved it out in late M37, but humans have inhabited it for much longer.  It is a relatively sparse region of space, only containing a few dozen stars and few planets of mineral wealth; in addition, stellar activity and climates are often colder than average in Ætern, exacerbated by the shadowy phenomena of the Veil (among other factors).  The Imperium controls much of the sector, though its reach weakens further into the clouds, and ceases altogether in the region's center.  Ætern is divided into four sub-sectors (technically five) surrounding the center, clockwise:  '''Vladimur's Domain''', housing the Sector Capital (''Carstein''),  '''Sothoth Deeps''', containing the Adeptus Mechanicus hub (''Belmond''),  '''Függönyfal''', the Veil-choked permanent frontier (''Liona Prime'' as the de jure capital) , and the '''Bram Highlands''', paradoxically containing a seat of Ecclesiarchal control (''Himmelwelt'') and primary destination for a unique xenos-and-human immigration problem sector-wide.  This  problem is termed the ''Pharos Aeterno Effect'', an inexplicable psychic lure radiating across the galaxy from the sector's center, the '''Ænigma Damnatio''', a bizarre and impossibly old doppled warp anomaly (composed of the ''Brass Labyrinthe'' and the '''''Forever Pit''''' below it).  The Pharos draws in the unwanted, the undesirable, and the misfit in their billions every year through infectious dreams, and within Ætern they come to stay.  The peoples of the sector all move to a ''rhythm'', billions migrating (often in circular fashion) around the sub-sectors.  It is their blood, souls, and actions which fuel  Ætern, both in mild prosperity and in the coming damnation.  The forces of Chaos boil within the center and rampage without, aliens swarm in from all corners of the galaxy, a Daemon-god bellows in its maze, and a great ''clock'' counts down to '''midnight'''.
