The Formosa Sector is an Imperial sector, neighbouring the Vidar Sector[1a] in the Eastern Fringe.[6][7a]

Overview

Even thousands of years before the opening of the Great Rift, the sector was bedevilled by malign phenomena. Many Navigators have noted that the light of the Astronomican flickered in the Formosa Sector. To make matters worse, the sector is infested with Chaos Cults.[7a]

For many millennia, a remarkable number of Psykers have emerged in the Formosa Sector, many of whom were capable of predicting the future. Over the years, the prophesies of the Formosan Seers were collated, written down and stored in the libraries of Promulgatia, formerly the sector's foremost Cardinal World. Eventually, however, the Grey Knights intervened; in the aftermath of the War of Threnodies they quarantined not just Promulgatia, but its entire system. Ever since, the Grey Knights have maintained a presence in the Formosa Sector, watching over Promulgatia and a number of other locations of interest.[7a]

The sector is currently under heavy influence by Inquisitor Torquemada Coteaz. He took the title of Protector of the Formosa Sector after executing the former Protector - his mentor, Inquisitor Laredian. Through alliances, coercion and intimidation Coteaz has formed a spy network throughout the Sector's worlds. Many people in the sector - from Planetary Defence Force troopers to members of Hive World gangs serve as his eyes helping in locating and eliminating Chaos Cults. This strategy has proved to be very effective and the Formosa Sector prospers under the watchful eye of its Protector.[1b]
