Overview

The Cyclops Cluster sub-sector is located within the Gothic Sector, an Imperial sector of Segmentum Obscurus.[1a]

The world of Mezoa, a forge world within the sub-sector, was founded during the Great Crusade by the Adeptus Mechanicus, and its great foundries were said to have been built with the assistance of Ferrus Manus.[2a] It later saw fighting during the Horus Heresy, being attacked and briefly captured by the forces of Horus.[3] Horus' forces also attacked the abandoned knight world of Dark Haven,[3] which had previously been the home of House Orhlacc.[2b]

In orbit around the agri world of Verstap is an independent space station under contract the rulers of Port Maw, making it an exception to the usual hegemony of the Imperial Navy and Adeptus Mechanicus in controlling such structures.[1b]

During the 12th Black Crusade, also known as the Gothic War, the Acheron Heavy Cruiser Chaos Eternus was destroyed in fighting over the agri world Numitor, having been tracked down by way of its unique engine signatures.[1c]
