“///Catalogue item AX-82: Powerblade with extruded hilt and guard, dimensions 1.933 by .34 meters, weight 36.66 kilograms. An example of pre-Imperial weaponcraft forged by the Empire of Blades. Experimental tests have shown the blade to possess a propensity to ‘sing’ when put to use, like others of its kind. Tests have necessitated the replacement of two (2) archive-servitors and seven (7) menials. Should other recovered artifacts prove to be as well-preserved, I anticipate a marked downturn in the local underhive population.///”

Located in a distant corner of the Segmentum Tempestus, along the southern edge of the galaxy, the Victorum Sector is a shining beacon of Imperial civilization and the triumph of the God-Emperor in a region widely held to be a dangerous frontier ever at risk of falling to xenos invasion and recidivism. For more than six millennia, it has been the heart of Imperial rule in the southernmost fringes of the Segmentum Tempestus, a vital link to several hundred distant frontiers. Beneath this display of strength, however, lurks the constant threat of ancient heresies, dark machinations and xenos invasions.

Sector Overview

The Saint

“And their works were Cast Down from the Lightless Palaces,

And the Saint did shine Her Armies upon them in their ruins.”

-Extract from A Light Fantastic by Sector Governor Henry dé Lian I, formerly Lord Militant General, 1st Vereth Lancers

History records Saint Rosella Castor as a young weaver-girl, living in one of Babylum’s ancient walled city-states a millennia after the Horus Heresy. Though her world was a warground, caught between the armies of the cult-kings, the techno-slaughterers of the Empire of Blades and Chaos warbands, Saint Castor was able to unite her scattered people and cleanse Babylum of its enemies. Inspired by the legends of the Great Crusade, Saint Castor would embark on her own crusade of vengeance against the Empire of Blades, enlisting the aid of long-forgotten Imperial hold-outs, degenerate Adeptus Mechanicus refugees, and even, it is said, a lost chapter of Space Marines.

Her legendary battles with the heretek Empire, corsair Eldar, and foul Orks allowed the Seventh Tempestus Crusade, then slogging its way down the Pyleus Arm, to establish an Imperial foothold in the region. With a catalogue of victories, the Saint soon assumed command of the struggling Imperial forces, and would go on to purge the enemies of Man from hundreds of worlds, forming the heartlands of three great Sectors. To this day, she remains the spiritual heart of this region of the Segmentum Tempestus, her native city a shrine and a tomb.

A History of the Sector

Era	Events
Pre-History:	The Eldar Empire lays webways throughout this region of space, calling it the Seer's Web. The Hydera system goes supernova.
The Dark Age of Technology:	The region is colonized by Mankind. It is known by many names, including Camolann, The Dragon's Pearls, and the Manxian Reach.
The Age of Strife:	A faction of human survivors utilizes forbidden nanotechnology and the power of Knight Engines to forge the Empire of Blades. Other survivors wage wars of survival against the expansionist Empire, including the Sea-Lords of Poseidon and the Archons of Babylum. The Mechanicus of Mars sends several expeditions to see if rumors of a technological empire in the galactic South are true; the only survivors establish the forge world of Nilumanen and its attendant Legio Delendum in the protection of the Cliffs of Roland, waging a shadow war to purge the region of its tech-heresy.
The Great Crusade:	The 117th Expeditionary Fleet fights a decade-long campaign against the Empire of Blades with the assistance of friendly local powers. Nilumanen becomes an ally of the Crusade forces, though endemic tech-heresy forces it into conflict with more puritanical Martian forces. In-fighting between the Salamanders, Night Lords, and Death Guard assigned to the fleet weakens their effectiveness, and the Crusade suffers a mortal defeat on the ruined tech-world of Ixlamad.
The Horus Heresy:	The forces of the Imperium leave the region to the Empire of Blades, allowing it to reassert dominance over the region once more. Survivors of the Battle of Ixlamad defeat the remnants of the Empire of Blades on their world and begin rebuilding. Ixlamad establishes a split government, with power shared between an Imperial Governor and an Adeptus Mechanicus Fabricator. Reclamation efforts begin. The region, largely unconquered by the Crusade, is ignored by the Heresy and the wars which follow, though legends speak of the return of the Night Lords.
The Scouring:	Saint Rosella Castor rises to power on Babylum. Turning its populace to the faith of the Saviour Emperor, she leads the first successful counter-attack against the Empire of Blades in thousands of years. An Imperial Crusade then marching into the Segmentum Tempestus exploits her victories to begin reclaiming the region. Several worlds, like Poseidon, are found to have remained loyal to the Imperium in isolation. Saint Castor eventually assumes command of the Crusade forces and conquers the Sector, bringing it into the fold of the Imperium. She establishes the capital of the newly-reclaimed region on Avalonus, former throneworld of the Empire of Blades. Survivors of the Empire flee into the Mylas Cloud and Cliffs of Roland, never to be seen again. The Saint departs, leading the Crusade deeper into the frontiers of Segmentum Tempestus. Guanyu is founded as the principal forgeworld of the Adeptus Mechanicus in the region, the Legio Evincer established as its sword and shield. Nilumanen is returned to the Mechanicus, but Mars maintains only a distant overlordship to avoid inter-Mechanicus civil war.
Reign of Blood:	The Victorum Sector remains loyal to Goge Vandire for much of the period, though sporadic rebellions break out across the sector. Dark Eldar take advantage of the chaos to begin a fruitful harvest, begining The Starlit Reap. The Sons of the Dragon chapter forswear their oaths to the sector's rulers and withdraw in isolation to Valotair, disgusted by their excesses. Emboldened, the Ketzals of Moloch declare open allegiance to the Confederation of Light and begin a civil war the engulfs the rimward and spinward reaches of the sector. Frateris fleets are destroyed over Valotair and Moloch. Battlefleet Victorum turns against itself rather than obey the orders of the sector's Vandiran rulers, and the war turns to the rebel's favour. Several years after the defeat of Goge Vandire, with communication with Terra still sporadic, the Seventh Battle of Avalonus sees the Vandiran rulers overthrown.
The Plague of Unbelief:	Victorum's rulers are scarcely overthrown when further rebellions break out across the coreward systems. The heretic Cardinal Bucephalus' influence causes the rebellion of the entire Babylum sub-sector, its Ecclesiarchal rulers unwilling to admit the heresy of their belief and of Goge Vandire. The Babylum Sub-Sector suffers heavily in the Thorian Purge that follows, leaving Dead and Forbidden worlds in its wake. Forces of Battlefleet Victorum make their first major excursion beyond the Sector in force, aiding the Imperium in reconquering the rebellious territories of Bucephalus. Port Fury is established from wrecked Ecclesiarchal fleet in orbit of Moloch. Moloch's rulers are awarded sub-sector governorship.
Circa 800.M38:	The Order of the Blazing Spear is founded. Dedicated to Saint Castor and her works, it serves to protect the relics of the Victorum Sector, with a special focus on bringing them into and using them in battle.
Circa 380.M39:	The Siege of the Tenebrous Gate sees the combined forces of the Imperial Guard, Imperial Navy, Legio Evincer, Legio Delendum, and four Knight Houses defeated by a multi-faction Eldar force on the haunted night-world. This defeat leads to the scouring of all life along the worlds of Roland's Breach and ends exploitation of the systems beyond for more than a thousand years.
Circa 500.M40:	Rogue Trader Ellard von Ragsbeck departs the Victorum Sector, enraged by the taunts of wealthier peers from more storied Houses. Rather than join the feeding frenzy stemming from the exploitation of the systems beyond Gros Pajan, he blazes a path through the then-unpassable Mylas Cloud. In time, he will be canonized as Saint Ellard the Indignant, patron saint of the Imperial Navy, Voidfarers, and Finding Things.
738.M41-752.M41:	An Inquisition War begins as Inquisitor Lord Qatasoum begins moving against Radical inquisitors within the Conclave Victorum. The war ends only after the last Excommunicate inquisitor is hurled into the plasma fires of St. Castor's Fury, but the distrust and division fatally weaken the conclave, and knives are sharpened in the dark. 744.M41: Vellagus X vanishes during the so-called Tech-Suppression. Since then, tales circulate of its reappearance throughout The Collar at various times, wailing and forlorn.
Recent History:	757.M41: The Kabal of Splintered Lies enters the annals of the Victorum Sector, raiding the Knight World of Zannemann's seat.
760.M41:	Present Day 084760.M41: Orks attack Canus Line in strength not seen in millenia. Multiple Kroozers destroy the fragile void habitats and plasma mines, and the naval squadron defending them. 183760.M41: Sword-class frigate Starflare defeats a Dark Eldar raid on a pilgrim convoy transiting through the Rallixes system. The kabal's archon, Star-Eyes, is slain by a young Lieutenant. 280760.M41: Battlefleet Victorum High Command issues orders to muster a patrol in force of the Mylas Cloud, from whence the Orks came. Reserve warships are reactivated, and ships reassigned from other vital duties to meet an unexpected threat. The Starflare is hastily repaired at Port Fury and leads the first convoy of ships to establish a garrison within the Mylas Cloud. 816760.M41: Orks invade the Oxydas system, the chosen location of the Mylas patrol and garrison force. 848760.M41: Starflare convoy enters the Oxydas system.

Military Forces of Victorum

Imperial Navy

Battlefleet Victorum is the primary arm of the Imperial military in the Victorum Sector. Owing to the immense amount of trade flowing through the Grand Trunks, as well as the slight but growing trickle of development fostered by Rogue Traders beyond the Mylas Cloud and Cliffs of Roland, it has grown to become one of the largest and most powerful battlefleets in the Segmentum. But this strength hides weakness, for at the heart of Battlefleet Victorum are shameful secrets, ancient vendettas, and the ennui of sloth that only peace can bring.

During the 36th Millennium, Battlefleet Victorum fell under the sway of the Gareox Prerogative. Her warships were at the forefront of that war, exchanging the first blows with the "Big Gun" battleships of Battlefleet Bakka.

The Sons of the Dragon

Sons of the Dragon
Roaring green dragon head within a six-rayed gold sun.
Battle Cry	"We are His Sons!"
Successors of	Salamanders
Chapter Master	Gurava Lannar
Primarch	Vulkan
Homeworld	Valotair
Strength	850+ Space Marines, 8 strike cruisers, 1 battle barge
Specialty	Siege Warfare
Allegiance	Imperium of Man
Colours	Quartered Caliban green and sunburst yellow

Descended from the famed Salamanders chapter, the Sons of the Dragon are experts in siege warfare.

Their homeworld is Valotair, a massive super-earth with a single giant continent covered in volcanoes and mountain ranges. Every mountain range has a fortress within it, and every major volcano has a forge near it. They recruit from across the Victorum sector, but their preferred recruiting grounds are the twin death-worlds of Moloch.

The Sons of the Dragon are skilled smiths, as befits a Salamander successor chapter. Their combat tactics, however, are descended from the Imperial Fists. They are masters at fortifying and holding territory.

The Sons take great pride in their armor, and never remove it in the presence of non-marines. Underneath it, they look very much like their Salamander brethren due to the Salamander mutation of the Melancrhomic Organ, with skin that ranges from dark brown to dark gray. A mutation in their Occulobe has caused them to develop sensitivity to ultraviolet light, allowing them to partially sense the higher wavelengths of the light spectrum. This causes their eyes to slowly develop a mirror-like sheen as they age, with centuries-old members having solid, silver eyes.

The Sons possess a large force of Dreadnought hulls, of various makes and patterns. Each of these hulls is uniquely built and armed according to it's occupant's designs, and no two of them are alike. They also possess a great deal of armored vehicles, primarily Rhinos, Razorbacks, and Whirlwinds. Rather infamously, they possess only two examples of Land Raiders. These are revered as holy relics, and rarely leave the fortress-monastery of Battlesheart.

The Sons are deeply integrated into the governorship of the Victorum Sector, with three Space Marines chosen to represent the chapter in the First Sword of Avalonus, the heart of Imperial rule. Some have won great renown as diplomats and negotiators, a reputation that other Space Marines chapters regard with disdain. Regardless, the Sons have proven themselves capable of well-integrating with the Imperial power structure and often coordinate operations with the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Navy, to the benefit of all three parties.

The Sons follow an offshoot of the Promethean Cult, and have built temples to this belief in various hidden locations throughout the sector. While designed to act as fortresses of last resort, these hidden stockpiles of men and arms also act to promulgate the Cult. Should the Inquisition or the Ecclesiarchy ever uncover this fact, unwanted and dangerous questions might be raised.

Typically heavily-armoured, and armed with a great deal of melee combat experience thanks to Avalonus' unique planetary culture, the Crusaders are often used as linebreakers in great battles. The Crusaders favor Melta and Lascannon heavy weapons, and are well-equipped by the forges of Hive Gergenir.
Shimmerwelt Heavy Dragoons Nickname: “Steady and True”, “Wobblies” (disparaging), “Glory Bees” (1st Heavy Dragoon)	Flame-wreathed red stallion running on sky-blue field, regiment number underneath in red	Specialization: Anti-Insurgency Operations, Tunnel Operations, Winter Warfare Strength: 7 Regiments (7 Mechanized Infantry) Famed Battles: The Battle of Heresy Field (Disgraced), Hill 53	The Shimmerwelt Heavy Dragoons are newly-founded regiments, raised to feed the voracious appetite of the sector’s wars and crusades. The 4th Heavy Dragoons were recently destroyed during the Battle of Heresy Field on Uraniborg, after breaking in the face of the enemy's zealot engines. The Dragoons hail from a glacial mining world and are well-versed in tunnel fighting and putting down labour rebellions, with a preference for mounting Flamers on their Chimeras and Sentinels.
Poseidon Sea Guard Nickname: “Seaguards”, “The Blues”, “Seadogs” (2nd Sea Guard), “Sea Dragons” (11th Sea Guard)	Crossed gold tridents on a white escutcheon over a navy blue field, regiment number between the tridents in blue	Specialization: Amphibious Assault, Oceanic Warfare Strength: 35 Regiments (29 Naval, 6 Drop Infantry) Famed Battles: Invasion of Ghress Prime, The Michaelmas Tragedy, Battle of Lorne’s Bounty	A rare example of a regiment specialized for oceanic warfare, the Poseidon Sea Guard are often sent out of the sector to serve in distant crusades. Just as unusually, the Sea Guard regiments return to their homeworld periodically for resupply and reinforcement, ensuring a constant churn of experienced veterans who supply new recruits with much-needed experience. Heavy Bolters, Rocket Launchers, and Mortars provide man-portable heavy firepower when the Sea Guard operate beyond the range of naval ordnance.
Ixlamad Armoured Nickname: “Revenant Engines” (1st Armoured), “Ironsides” (3rd Armoured), “Twice Lucky” (14th Armoured)	Three red cogwheels bend sinister on a gray field, regiment number in the upper left in High Gothic, lower right in Techna-Lingua	Specialization: Armoured Warfare, Tank Hunting Strength: 68 Regiments Famed Battles: Seventh Battle of Avalonus, Conquest of Gathalamor, Villagus Tech-Suppression	Raised from the wreck-strewn world of Ixlamad, the Ixlamad Armoured is equipped only with vehicles and weapons salvaged by the great pit-cities of their homeworld. Each regiment is a highly eclectic mix of vehicles built in uncounted forges scattered across the Segmentum, returned to duty by the devotion and skill of the Reclamator Magi. Many of their troops are augmented by the Mechanicus, and treat their war machines with as much devotion as any enginseer.
Ganth Eagle Warriors Nickname: "Screaming Loonies” (1st Regiment), “Headbangers” (2nd Regiment), “Bleeding Maniacs” (3rd Regiment), “Screechers” (disparaging)	The Aquila clutching thunderbolts and arrows, on a bright green field, “Ganth” scroll above, regiment number in Low Gothic below	Specialization: Shock Troops Strength: 3 Regiments (Heavy Infantry) Famed Battles: Conquest of Gathalamor, Vas Hind's War, Macharian Crusade	Though little regarded by the rest of the sector, Ganth produces some of the fiercest warriors ever to fight beneath the banner of the Imperium. With an unshakeable faith in the Emperor, these brightly-colored warriors charge into battle like berserkers, wielding chainaxes and Flamers with all the zeal of a Redemptionist crusade.
Krydae Void Cataphracts Nickname: “Silent Death”	Yellow roaring lionshead on a black circle on white bullseye on gray, “Krydae” scroll above circle, “Cataphracts” scroll below circle	Specialization: Void Assault, Toxic Warfare Strength: 1 Regiment Famed Battles: The Hunt of the Scarlet Tears, The Battle of Green Noah	Most void regiments are raised as Imperial Navy armsmen, but the Krydae Void Cataphracts are a rare exception.
