#EXPANSE DEFINITION FULL#

Rogue Traders and their involmentįor centuries, Rogue Traders have braved great evils and the treacherous warp to venture into the Koronus Expanse, but their efforts have barely begun to uncover its secrets.Footholds have been built close to the few semi-stable warp routes into the area. These regions hold the fearsome Ork, the treacherous Aeldari, and strange ruins that lie beneath the light of dying stars. There are no defined warp-routes, no safe ways through the swirling empyrean.

Beyond these human conflicts lie truly dark and dangerous voids, rife with rumoured terrors, undiscovered stars, and worlds of man who have never known the God-Emperor. Rogue Traders vie with one another for known resources, heedless of lives lost in the pursuit of riches, while a tentative attempt at Imperial colonization follows in their wake.ĭrawn by the flow of wealth, pirates and servants of Dark Gods have also slipped into the Expanse, eager to cast destruction upon the works of the God-Emperor's faithful, living by what they wrest from dead hands, while the Expanse itself holds many secrets and native inhabitants no less dangerous. The Koronus Expanse in the 41st Millennium is a scattered, partly explored region containing a few young colonies and vast natural wealth still barely explored. Aeldari and other, even more mysterious xenos species are discovered in the Expanse. The destruction largely caused by the Inquisitor Kobras Aquairre, who eventually leads his fleet into the Rifts of Hecaton and vanishes. Several worlds in the Expanse are colonised, while others were destroyed. The Koronus Expanse is effectively declared part of the Calixis Sector by the High Lords of Terra. ħ3 years after the Imperial Navy constructs the space station Port Wander near the storm field, a Rogue Trader named Purity Lathimon discovers ' The Maw' - a safe passage through the storms, but, rather than returning to the Expanse, she sells her knowledge on and departs Calixis, never to return. The method of traversing the field of intense warp storm activity in what is now the Drusus Marches subsector is missing from both sets of data however, and so the Imperium designates the storm field as the farthest border of the Sector. The Calixis Sector was first charted during the Age of Apostasy by Solomon Haarlock, though fragmented naval records indicate that it was actually first charted by a prior Explorator fleet belonging to the Adeptus Mechanicus.

However, its written history has been found to be full of apocryphal records and oral history regarding the region often comes from unreliable narrators as well, making a definitive recounting practically impossible. The Koronus Expanse's history is largely defined by the actions of the Rogue Traders who survived exploring it. Main article: History of the Koronus Expanse
