Cadian Gate Symbol[2]

The Cadian Gate was an area of calm space leading in and out of the Eye of Terror.[1]

History

The Cadian Gate was located to the galactic south-east of the Eye, and was the only predictably stable way out. It was therefore a site of frequent raids by the forces of Chaos.[1] It was not the only stable exit from the Eye; the Arx gap was another way to get out, although it was somewhat less stable. The Cadian Gate existed because of the blackstone pylons on the surface of Cadia, which had the effect of strengthening the barrier between realspace and the Warp.[1]

During the 13th Black Crusade, Cadia was destroyed after Abaddon the Despoiler crashed a Blackstone Fortress into it. The destruction of Cadia and its pylons caused the Cadian Gate to collapse and the formation of the Cicatrix Maledictum.[1]

Despite the loss of Cadia, the Cadian Gate itself remains an active warzone as Chaos expands its holdings and the remaining Imperial worlds of the region attempt to resist.[6] Notable conflicts that have taken place post-destruction of Cadia within the Cadian Gate region are the War of the Spider,[4] additional attacks on Agripinaa,[5] and the push by Indomitus Crusade Fleet Secundus and Heimdel Crusade.[6]
